As a Certified Health Education Specialist, with a degree in Community Health Education from the University of Arizona, LuAnn has spent her career in helping others achieve optimal health and wellness through behavior modification programs in nutrition, weight management, smoking cessation, fitness and chronic disease management.

She found Pilates to rehabilitate and regain strength after knee surgery. After several years of Pilates classes as a client, she enrolled in the Pilates Certification Program at Long Beach Dance Conditioning. Over 450 hours are spent in the classroom and in internship to receive certification. The course includes work with all apparatus and mat repertoire, coupled with functional anatomy and biomechanics, kinesiology, rehabilitation, injury prevention, posture analysis and adaptation. LuAnn channels this knowledge into an effective, challenging and rewarding Pilates experience for her clients. She specializes in working with those new to Pilates to understand the fundamentals of the method, along with those individuals who want to deepen their practice and more fully experience the benefits that Pilates has to offer.
