Full Testimonials
"As a long term runner in my mid 50s, I use to have increasingly long gaps in my running schedule while I recovered from injuries. I have been doing Pilates with Mary for two years and have remained injury free. Mary developed a Pilates cross training program that has given me more flexibility in my hip flexors and hamstrings and loosened up my tight lower back. Pilates helps me withstand the pounding that distances up to the marathon can give it. I strongly recommend Pilates to any runner. "

"I had been taking Pilates for many months, but felt like I was missing something with my technique. One of my weaknesses had been difficulty connecting to and feeling my core. When I met Mary three years ago and began training with her, I started to see all that Pilates could offer.
Mary's patience and supportive teaching technique really taught me how to get in touch with my core. Mary uses her natural athleticism in her teaching, and her creative sessions gave me a full-body workout. I could see my body becoming leaner, stronger and more flexible. She really pushed me to work to my full capability.
Mary helped me find that core connection which made me fall in love with Pilates. My core strength helped me so much during my pregnancy and enabled me to get back in shape much more quickly following the birth of my daughter. Pilates has become part of who I am, and is definitely a staple of my fitness routine."

I've been working with Mary for over two years, and in that time she has coached me into becoming a much more centered person with a much stronger core. As a golfer, my core strength is key to maintaining a repeatable swing over 18 holes. When I first started seeing Mary, I had regular stiffness in my back and infrequently finished my golf rounds with any consistency. I no longer have any back pain, my body feels more connected, and, most importantly, I perform better and more efficiently in everything I do, whether it be golf, basketball, yard work or even carrying the groceries up the stairs. Mary is very active in my training, modifying my workouts to not only to fit my abilities but also to maximize my results. She constantly adjusts each workout so that every week they are a little different, keeping them interesting and fun. Thanks Mary.

In my industry I am on my feet moving around all day. Now that I am in my forties this has become increasingly difficult. Since I began working with Mary I feel stronger, breathe better, am more flexible and have much more stamina.

When I came to Mary a little more than a year ago, I was a mess of a body. I was recovering from multiple surgeries, having a baby and had just finished a very tough treatment regimen for cancer. I was determined to regain some of the balance, strength and coordination I had lost as well as lose some of the weight I had gained during the pregnancy and cancer treatment. I also wanted to find me again. I quickly realized that my enthusiasm and goals did not match the capabilities of my body. But Mary supported me in every way, while working with "the body I brought her." Her encouragement won over my discouragement and kept me going. Depending on my physical shape and abilities, Mary creatively customizes each of our sessions to my needs and capabilities. And I'm always challenged with new moves and some of my favorites as well. I feel like I'm Mary's only client because her personal touch is weaved throughout my workouts. Working out with Mary through Pilates has helped to restore my confidence, flexibility, clear my mind and allow me to feel more in control of my body again. Mary has taught me that this process is not an uphill battle or a war of mind versus body. Instead, it is a journey forward to a stronger, healthier, cancer-free me and Pilates is a part of that journey. With Gratitude,

I found the Pink Ribbon Program at a time when I was mentally tapped out, physically drained, in constant pain and discomfort, and didn't know what to do now that I had beaten breast cancer. I had been given a second chance at life, but didn't know how to start living it. My mind had stayed strong throughout the battle, but my physical weakness had finally gotten to me. Mary was there to encourage me, be patient with me, and give me realistic expectations. The program allowed me to feel like I was finally able to take charge of my life and affect how I would feel going forward. Cancer takes that control from you for a while. Within a few weeks, my strength was coming back, the nagging pain was greatly reduced, my flexibility and movement were not so limited, and most of all, my mental outlook was vastly improved. Now, as a Pink Ribbon Program graduate, I continue to use Pilates to strengthen my mind and body and rejuvenate my soul. I have a long way to go, but am so grateful to have found this program. Mary and the Pink Ribbon Program changed my life. My hope is that other women fighting this disease are made aware of this program, can participate in it, and find strength and promise in it as I have.

"As a certified Pilates instructor myself, I appreciate Mary's detailed understanding of anatomy and her precise attention to detail. She always challenges me and has a keen eye to my areas of weakness. I often steal her ideas for use with my own clients. Studying with Mary has rounded out my own practice as well as my teaching. She works me to my ideal level and technique and she always makes me laugh!"
Kit G. Fitness Client [back to top ↑]
"I started working with Mary to address chronic pain resulting from the asymmetrical demands of playing a stringed instrument for 30+ years. Mary has been very thoughtful and dedicated to examining my physical issues and shaping an individual workout program, focusing on strengthening and lengthening muscle where needed, and teaching me to not overuse other muscles. She encourages precision, and focus during the sessions, and keeps her sense of humor always close at hand. Working with Mary has brought me to a new level of physical awareness: an awareness that I can take out of the studio into my rehearsals and concerts. I always leave feeling stretched, more flexible and relaxed."
