I do not have a Pilates instructor, I have a Pilates guru!!! And my body is being transformed and rebuilt in ways that most people could not even begin to understand. Injury and muscular mal-use that was based in early childhood left me in my 40s worried that I would not be able to properly work out again and that I would begin to see a continued decline in my form and function. I tried lots of different types of instruction and have done Pilates before, but I reached out to Gretchen knowing that she had an understanding and experience beyond most. Not only was I right, but I didn’t even begin to understand just how right I was. I can’t believe the re-sculpting and re-developing and power that has come from my short time with Gretchen. I really do think she can see things in peoples bodies that most instructors cannot. She also has patience and guidance and support that leaves me coming back for more even when my body challenges me. Having weekly one on one sessions with her has given me a beautiful guide post and then she gives me homework assignments that I can use during the week to grow myself and become better. The transformation that we’ve already seen in the short time is unbelievable! I can feel myself becoming more whole and more capable just as I approach my 50s. I am getting better and stronger and I am so deeply grateful to her for this!
