Born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Amarylis was diagnosed with scoliosis at a young age and went through surgery for the spinal fusion at age 11.

As she got older she found that there were areas in her body that felt weak and was looking for something that could help. One day she booked a Pilates class and never looked back. She fell in love with how every movement led to each other. She found the practice strengthened her core, elongated her spine, and was a mind-body experience.  She always walked out feeling better than how she walked in. '

Amarylis is Mat Pilates certified and is in the Comprehensive Certification process.
Amarylis hopes to help those who have scoliosis, spinal fusion or other conditions feel welcome to do Pilates because Pilates is for everyone.

Amarylis holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. In her free time, she loves to play piano, go on walks with her dog Archie, and try out new cafe spots.
