Elizabeth was raised in Forest Hills, NY by an artistic family, and strongly influenced by her grandmother and great aunt who were both professional dancers. They actually studied with Joseph Pilates many years ago. Elizabeth followed in the footsteps of these remarkable women, studying classical ballet. In her early twenties, Elizabeth's career path took an interesting twist; Elizabeth found herself reaching even farther for a more physically challenging career as a professional stuntwoman. With much training and determination, Elizabeth earned her SAG (Screen Actors Guild) card and found many exciting jobs in the movie industry. Over time, between dance training and stuntwork, Elizabeth began to notice changes in her body that included arthritis of the neck and back, herniated disks, shoulder pain and frequent headaches. After visits to orthopaedists, physical therapists and chiropractors, Elizabeth felt certain that the answers to her problems were doctors and meds. Elizabeth found Pilates by accident. Within a short period of time, she observed a dramatic change. Getting out of bed in the morning had been the most difficult task, but this was no longer the case. It was almost like magic; her condition had improved. This incredible experience was so inspiring, it gave her the reason to become an instructor. After about a year of training, Elizabeth earned her certification through Stott Pilates®.
Elizabeth has devoted over a decade to studying the body's musculoskeletal architecture, its function and dysfunction. She enjoys working with a variety of clients in the post-therapeutic phase as well those capable of intense physical training.
