After back surgery in my teens, I was constantly being told by healthcare providers to 'stay strong', but was never given any direction on how to achieve this. Even doing the simplest of activities, I could hurt myself. I ended up in the hospital more than once after a workout.
After 11 years of practicing Pilates while living all over the world, I decided to become a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor to learn more about this practice that had changed my life. After working at numerous studios in Austin, I opened my own referral-based practice and have grown my business working with private clientele. Some of my clients have been with me for five years (and counting) and I am proud and grateful for the opportunity to help them.
Education:

When Alana told me she would be opening her own studio, I was so excited! I had always dreamed of bringing joy to people as they strengthen their bodies; my true calling is an emotional support dog. I love sitting in the studio and watching to make sure Alana performs her job well. Alana is a great teacher, but I know her clients are really coming here to see me!
