ABOUT MAUREEN

Using the tools provided by Pilates, Gyrotonic®, Redcord and many other associated movement systems such as Franklin Method and Feldenkreis, we work with people to uncover and restore the freedom of movement and power that should be native to us.

I began my bodywork career as a massage therapist, working in physical therapy clinics, as well as teaching at Atlanta School of Massage.  The transition to Pilates came when a dance colleague, Leslie Clayton, opened the first Pilates studio in Atlanta and invited me to train and work with her.  Since then my education has continued, working first with Katy Roelle  (BodyReformation, Atlanta), Leslie Clayton (Balanced Body), Polestar’s Brent Anderson and Shelly Power and Sheri Betz,  Jennifer Gianni of Fusion Pilates and Karena Thek,  as well as Juliu Horvath, founder of the Gyrotonic Expansion System®, Paul Horvath and Juergen Bamberger also of Gyrotonic®.  I am a member of the PMA, also certified in Redcord and Gyrotonic®  

I've taken specific coursework in Pathokinesiology of the Upper Extremity, Pathokinesiology of the Hip and Lower Extremity, anatomy training at FAMI (Functional Anatomy for Movement and Injuries) at Mt. Sinai in New York, Pilates for Golf,  Karena Thek's Scoliopilates, based on the Schroth Method, and TheraPilates for Osteoporosis.

My learning continues; this is a wonderful and productive time to be a movement professional because there is so much scientific research and validation happening now, and so many associated avenues of study to follow, such as neuroscience and fascia research, and so much available specific education.
