Our head coach Kasey
With over 15 years of experience, Pilates has been a cornerstone of my life, beginning as a complement to my training as a young dancer and evolving into a vital tool for rehabilitating physiotherapy clients. Today, it serves as the foundation of my passion for helping women maintain strength, mobility, and pain-free living throughout every stage of life.
I teach with a deep understanding of the body’s biomechanics, drawing from my extensive experience working with clients of all ages and abilities in boutique studios across New York City, London, Zürich, and Düsseldorf. Alongside my comprehensive Pilates education, I hold advanced certifications in pre/post-natal exercise, pelvic floor rehabilitation, acupuncture, and myofascial taping, all of which enrich my ability to offer holistic, effective guidance to my clients.
