"Change happens through movement and movement heals." - Joseph Pilates
Integrating the Pilates principles and repertoire into my physical therapy practice has produced successful rehabilitation outcomes for a wide variety of clients for over a decade. During my career in orthopedics, sports and dance medicine, home health, and concierge fitness, I became a mom to a vibrant girl and curious little boy that keep me on my toes. With an increased appreciation for the unique needs of busy women during pregnancy and postpartum recovery, I have advanced my clinical expertise to become a prenatal + postnatal fitness specialist.
I am thrilled to bring a boutique experience to my hometown of Beverly that helps to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and fitness. I want to remove the “gym intimidation” barrier to lifetime wellness and create an inclusive community that inspires confidence in movement. By teaching clients how to incorporate Pilates into everyday life, I find that even the busiest of clients reap the benefits with just one session per week or 5 minute “movement snacks” at home!

I can’t recommend Gold Coast enough!
I started with a private lesson where Kristen took the time to understand my goals and injury history and taught me how to use the reformer. I’ve been going at least weekly since, and classes with Kristen and Sophie have been great every time! I feel encouraged to keep coming back and challenging myself. Kristen has been so thorough with adjustments for my injury and this is the longest I’ve gone without a re-injury in the past 6 years. I just hit my 30 class mark and am excited to continue.
Pilates is an important part of my fitness routine. It helps me stay active by moving my body in challenging but achievable ways.
I look forward to class each week and the new challenges it brings.I am in my early 70s and Kristen helps me feel younger and stronger.
Pilates is my “me” time.
And doesn’t everyone need more of that?
Gold Coast Pilates classes quickly became part of my weekly routine! I absolutely the love the variety of classes.
My previous Pilates experience was in larger classes where instruction moves forward whether you're ready or not. I've loved being a part of two to five person classes where we all receive the attention we need to succeed.
Kristen & Eme are fantastic instructors who are dedicated to the safety and progression of their students.
