Christina is a certified Pilates teacher through Body Arts and Science International (BASI Pilates).

Christina continues private sessions with Rael throughout the year to brush up on her teaching and practice.

 

Christina is also Pilates Method Alliance Certified and holds a certificate in BASI’s advanced education courses: Pilates for Injuries and Pathologies, Pilates for Chronic Pain Syndromes, Pilates for Athletes from a Physio Perspective (taught by Samantha Wood, MPT), Pilates for Scoliosis, Pilates for Men, and Pilates for the Mature Client. Christina believes that as a teacher she is forever a student and can never stop learning. Education is extremely important to Christina and she continues to take Pilates and Anatomy workshops and courses. 

​

Christina has a unique ability to relate to clients because of her own situation. At only 19 years old she was diagnosed with, and nearly crippled by Rheumatoid Arthritis.  Not only was she told that this autoimmune disease was incurable, she was also told to give up many of the physical activities that she enjoyed to avoid further damaging her joints. After researching many exercise methods to strengthen her joints and the outlook of her diagnosis, Christina became a Pilates Method client, which allowed her to gain strength and maintain flexibility without negatively impacting her joints. It was this positive experience which led Christina to become certified in Pilates to teach and help others. 

 

Christina will give you an experience that will be tailored to your unique body and goals.
