      I have always been active since I can remember. I loved any sport that my older siblings were doing at the time. Gymnastics, Dance, Swimming, Diving, Soccer you name it. I went on to play soccer and run track at Mississippi State University and finished my last two years of college playing soccer at Marshall University in West Virginia. In 2000 I graduated with a BA in Adult Fitness and moved to Atlanta to start my fitness career as a Personal Trainer. In 2002 I moved to South Orange County, California were I was first introduced to Pilates and immediately feel in love.


      In 2002 I started my pursuit to become a Pilates Instructor and by 2006 I was a fully certified Advanced Level STOTT PILATES Instructor.  I did not stop there, in 2009 I became a STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainer. I am also a Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) Certified Trainer and an American Council of Exercise (ACE) Certified Personal Trainer.


      In 2012 my daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia. As a result, I was unable to make it to the studio to do my daily equipment based Pilates workouts. I had a Suspension Trainer at home that I used regularly to do fitness-based workouts. I started playing around with the traditional Pilates equipment and mat based exercises on my suspension trainer and to my surprise many exercises were more challenging on the Suspension Trainer than the Pilates equipment. That is how the Pilates Suspension Method started.


      When I am not teaching workshops or training clients I love spending time with my husband Greg and our two children Raelyn and Renick.



      What is the Pilates Suspension Method?

      The Pilates Suspension Method (PSM) combines traditional and contemporary mat Pilates and equipment-based Pilates exercises and performs them on any type of suspension apparatus. 


      Each PSM exercise is Pilates rooted and is also done in many of the traditional Pilates series.  The PSM is designed to teach in a group or one-on-one setting

      My husband and I had the most incredible experience in Sicily! Elisa and Joanne's passion for Sicily truly shone through every aspect of the trip, making it an unforgettable and authentic experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Elisa and Joanne's knowledge and love for Sicily were evident in every excursion, every meal, and every shared story. Their dedication to showcasing the beauty and richness of Sicilian culture made the trip truly special. One of the highlights of the retreat was the opportunity to meet amazing new friends. The sense of community that developed among us was truly heartwarming. We enjoyed delicious meals together, shared stories, laughter, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Overall, my time at the retreat in Italy was a perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and connection. Thanks to Elisa and Joanne's passion and dedication, I not only enjoyed a beautiful trip but also made lasting memories and friendships.

      This trip brought together so many of my passions and life pleasures - travel, meeting new people, health & wellness and cooking. But more than that, we truly were able to bring ‘La Dolce Vita’ into each day of the trip. Everyday was perfectly curated, but also flexible enough to go along with the flow of the group. Giovanna was a wonderful host and it was executed to perfection with Elisa.

      We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the hosts of this extraordinary daytime wellness retreat. The experience we had was nothing short of exceptional, and we are deeply thankful for the effort and care that went into creating such a memorable event. From the moment we arrived at the stunning location, we were captivated by the sheer beauty and tranquility that surrounded us. It was a true sanctuary, providing the perfect backdrop for a day of relaxation and rejuvenation. The day of wellness and activations was a delight for the senses. We appreciated the thoughtfulness that went into every detail, ensuring that we felt nurtured and supported. The hosts' commitment to our well-being was evident in the carefully curated activities and the genuine care they showed for each individual. The food served during the retreat was simply incredible. Lunch was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and prepared with the utmost skill and creativity. We were truly spoiled by the hosts' dedication to providing nourishing and delicious meals that satisfied both our bodies and souls. The qi gong and booty burn classes quickly became our favorites. The expert instructors guided us through invigorating sessions that left us feeling empowered and energized. Their passion and expertise were evident in every movement, making each class a true highlight of the retreat. One of the most memorable experiences was the healing breathwork and soundbath outside, surrounded by the embrace of nature. We were transported to a place of deep relaxation and inner peace, as we allowed ourselves to be carried away by the soothing sounds and the gentle rhythm of our breath. The hosts' commitment to utilizing the healing power of nature was truly remarkable. In conclusion, we want to express our deepest appreciation to the hosts for providing us with a transformative and unforgettable experience. The retreat was a testament to their dedication, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it. Thank you for creating a day of wellness and rejuvenation that exceeded all expectations.
