What My Students Are Saying…
“Lia was my Master Trainer for the 500-hour Pilates Teacher Training, and taking the program with her truly changed my life. Her knowledge and experience in teaching are evident, but what I appreciated most was her patience in allowing me to progress through the program at my own pace and in my own way. She provided thorough guidance and mentorship at every step, yet I never felt rushed or pressured to complete a task. Her gentle, consistent encouragement kept me motivated all the way to the test-out. As a result, I left my previous job and am now teaching Pilates full-time. I’m incredibly grateful for the journey I took with Lia and how it has transformed my career and life.”

"I worked with Lia for six months, and during that time, she had a tremendous impact on me. Not only did I have the privilege of working closely with her, but I also successfully graduated within those six months. From the first day we met, Lia transformed my outlook on teaching and continued to inspire me throughout my journey. In overwhelming moments, Lia was warm and generous, making me feel like I always had my own personal cheerleader. She gave me confidence I didn't even know I had and believed in me before I believed in myself. Her passion for Pilates was contagious, and now I’m motivated to share that passion with my students. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with Lia, and I hope our connection continues. I will forever be inspired and motivated to share my love of movement."

“When I signed up for Pilates Teacher Training, I experienced a whirlwind of emotions. While I was excited to embark on a new journey, I was also overwhelmed by the workload and apprehensive about completing the necessary paperwork and studio hours. I worried whether I could become an instructor who was engaging, challenging, and knowledgeable. However, the moment I stepped into Lia's classroom, I knew everything would be all right. Lia is a wealth of information, and it's clear that she not only takes her role seriously but also loves what she does. Her sparkling personality captivates her students, and she is one of the most patient and kind people I've had the pleasure of working with. With Lia's support and inspiration, I was able to continue running my business while completing all my hours on time. Lia helped build my confidence, and her mentorship played a key role in shaping the instructor I've become. Whenever I face a challenge, I ask myself, 'What would Lia say?' and I can hear her voice guiding me. She is truly a treasure!”

"I had the pleasure of working with Master Trainer Lia for just a few months to reach the finish line of my Club Pilates final test-out. Honestly, it was 90% Lia and 10% me that made it happen. Lia is incredibly organized, and even though she works with many individuals simultaneously, she somehow gives you her undivided attention and time. I still don't know the secret behind this talent. Before I met Lia, I was at a stalemate, dragging my feet, but she managed to turn it all around with her belief in me and a clear, achievable end goal. Her method of guidance is highly adaptive, tailored to my specific needs. In hindsight, setting the date for my final test-out was the key to breaking through. In just a few months, I not only regained my motivation but also deepened my understanding of Pilates. Lia's encouragement inspired me to watch more Pilates content in my free time, boosting my overall confidence. I can't emphasize enough how Lia makes the impossible seem possible. If I had to describe Lia in one sentence, it would be: She makes 'impossible' spell 'I'm possible.' Thank you so very much, Lia."

"Lia has been my mentor for more than two years. She teaches with patience and openness, and her deep knowledge of the body is truly inspiring. Under her guidance, I have learned so much about movement, form, and the Pilates practice as a whole. I am genuinely thankful for the opportunity to learn from her."
— Suzi
"Lia became my Master Trainer halfway through my teacher training, and she motivated me not only to finish my certification but also to start teaching—even though that wasn't my initial goal. I love how highly organized she is and how respectful she is of time. The teacher training process is a long-term commitment with many moving parts, but through Lia's guidance and mentorship, I learned to set incremental goals that kept me motivated and engaged throughout the last six months of the training. I definitely plan to continue working with Lia in the future!"

"Lia is one of the best. Not only was she completely supportive and knowledgeable throughout my training and the completion of my comprehensive Pilates instructor certification, but she also continues to provide guidance and share her expertise. She is always responsive and never hesitates to answer my questions, whether they’re about the technical or cultural aspects of the Pilates and fitness industries. Working with Lia will bring nothing but positives to your skill set and career."
— Jocelyn
"Lia was the Master Trainer during my Club Pilates teacher training, and she was an exceptional mentor. She set high standards while always being incredibly encouraging. I especially remember her bright smile and 'you can do this' attitude. I'm grateful for her sharing her knowledge and passion for Pilates, which played an instrumental role in helping me start a rewarding new career as an instructor. I have no doubt that working with Lia will bring about positive changes in your life!"
