Ready to go from burned out on wellness to one of those freaks who *actually* looks forward to unrolling their mat every day?
the hps method
You don’t have to be hard on yourself to work out hard.
I’m a pilates instructor who believes fitness doesn’t have to be just gentle stretching and guided breathing to be anti-diet or body-neutral.
Pushing ≠ punishing.
Intrinsic motivation, rigor, high-sensation movement, and transformation can happen without trying to shrink yourself or earn your next meal. The HPS approach is all about movement that feels good, challenges you in the best way, and helps you build strength and confidence — without the pressure, guilt, or outdated fitness rhetoric.
Creative, athletic, functional pilates workouts you can do anywhere, anytime.
Movement that fits your mood

Gentle stretching is great but
HPS was born because I couldn’t find pilates workouts that challenged me physically without encouraging a transactional relationship with food or checking out of my body.
My classes are rooted in the belief that intentional, breath centric, and high sensation exercise (that feeling when you think your leg might fall off if you do one more rep) cultivates body awareness, promotes mindfulness (hard to think about your to-do list when your glutes are on *fire*), deepens muscle activation, and helps you build strength and confidence — so long as it’s fun, creative, and shame-free.
If you love the satisfying, cathartic, wet noodle-y feeling you get after a killer class but you roll your eyes when you hear the phrase “long, lean lines”… you’re in exactly the right place.
