Hi, I’m Maria! Pilates and barre instructor, playlist curator, movement encourager, and your biggest hype woman on the reformer, the mat, or at the barre.

I’ve been teaching fitness since flip phones were a thing (over 15 years!) and I earned my 500 hour Pilates certification in 2018. Since then, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. I help people reconnect to their bodies in a way that feels empowering, inclusive, and actually doable.

My teaching style is rooted in presence over perfection. I’m not here to bark orders or make you feel like you’re behind. I’m here to offer options, make you laugh mid ab 5 series, and play a playlist that gets you out of your head and into your body.

I specialize in working with beginners, folks coming back after injury, burnout, or big life changes, and anyone who’s ever felt like traditional fitness spaces weren’t made for them. (Spoiler: they weren’t. But we’re changing that.)

Based in Cedarburg, WI, I offer private Pilates sessions, group classes, and special events throughout the surrounding area (including Mequon, Grafton, West Bend, Jackson, and Whitefish Bay. )

Whether you’re just getting started or ready to fall in love with movement again, I’d love to be there to help you in your journey.
