Nursing and Pilates Practice
Her passion for health and fitness grew stronger as she cared for patients who were experiencing chronic pain due to living a sedentary lifestyle. They lacked nutrition, exercise and movement. Watching Pilates change the lives of so many by building strength, improving flexibility and reducing chronic pain inspired her to get certified in Mat and Reformer at Wendy Fit Studio.
Kelly believes one of the biggest benefits of the Pilates practice is its emphasis on core strength and body control. To build a strong foundation and learn to stabilize from the inside out are principles that can be applied in Pilates, other workouts and daily life.
Kelly’s knowledge of nursing and Pilates practice helps her understand that the body cannot go where the mind has not been. Her commitment will help clients reach their fitness goals and discover the benefits of Pilates.
Clients can expect a thorough yet fun approach to their practice while they improve body awareness, confidence, and strength.
