Katie has had an ever-evolving 25-year career as a movement and Pilates teacher and is certified through NPCP. She came to Pilates as a professional dancer in Philadelphia and continued her training here in Rhode Island.

During the pandemic, she was able to deepen her knowledge by taking live dissection workshops with Tom Myers. Her dance background has highly informed her Pilates teaching, particularly within ideas of imagery, rhythm, breath, direction, balance, and the overall joy of movement.

This March, Katie certified as a Franklin Method Educator, which deepens the study of the mind-body interface for more effective movement. Katie also teaches yoga and dance techniques and has also taught dance composition and theory in higher education. She holds a BA in Dance and Anthropology from Connecticut College and an MFA in Dance Performance from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
