Helping women build a strong core to move & feel better in all stages of motherhood. ♡ Her YouTube Pilates mat classes can be practiced right in your own home.

Amy is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher who is passionate about healing the body through mindful movement. As a former gymnast, volleyball player and runner, Amy constantly struggled with pain and injuries that eventually led to two hip surgeries in 2011. She found Pilates shortly after surgery and knew immediately that it was exactly what her body needed. After the first class, she felt more supported with less pain and greater ease of movement. For the first time, she was able to build stability and strength in her body that allowed her to return to her active Colorado lifestyle. Pilates was also an integral part of healing after the birth of her two sons. It was the perfect way to restore core stability, strength and function - all necessary to be a strong mom to two crazy boys! Amy now uses her education and experience to help others heal after pain, injuries and childbirth. She specializes in back pain, Diastasis Recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, scoliosis, sciatica, SI joint pain and more. She wants to empower all clients to embrace healthy, mindful movement!

If you’ve never experienced the benefits of dry needling, now is the time to give it a try!

When you’re struggling with back/neck pain, headaches, chronic tightness or overuse injuries, dry needling is an highly effective intervention to provide you quick relief.

Here’s how it works:
✅Your PT inserts an acupuncture needle into tight, painful muscles
✅The needle elicits a “twitch response” in the muscle to help it reset & function properly.
✅Electrical stimulation can also be used to enhance your outcomes.

The result is relaxation of persistent muscular tension, release of spasms and relief from your pain!

Leave a 👍 in the comments if dry needling has worked for you!

🌀Loop Band Connection🌀

The Glute muscles are often inhibited or weak due to prolonged sitting, poor standing posture or movement patterns.

Our bodies typically compensate by overusing the quads and back extensor muscles - these imbalances will likely lead to pain and injuries in the low back and lower extremities.

It can be difficult to retrain the body’s poor movement patterns. I find the loop band so helpful to provide feedback to encourage a connection between the mind, glutes, deep abdominals and pelvic floor muscles. When the glutes kick in to stabilize the pelvis, I feel my low abs and pelvic floor muscles work more effectively too.

Try this workout to improve activation of your back body and enjoy the pain-free movement that comes with a healthy back, hips and knees!

This challenging Pilates workout uses a medium weight loop band to provide resistance and feedback to the glutes, arms and abs. The band helps to increase a...

About Amy

Amy completed her comprehensive Pilates certification through Polestar Education and is a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher through the Pilates Method Alliance. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. She believes Pilates is the perfect complement to her physical therapy practice by providing a mind-body approach to health, fitness, and rehabilitation while restoring balance to the body for natural healing. After two hip surgeries in 2011, Pilates was a significant part of the rehab that allowed her to return to pain-free biking, swimming, hiking, and skiing.

A mother herself, she incorporated Pilates into her pre-natal and post-natal fitness and enjoys helping women heal and restore function after delivery. With her physical therapy background, Amy is comfortable working with clients recovering from pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic floor dysfunction, and diastasis recti. Amy loves that Pilates activates and strengthens the small muscles in your core, working from the inside out to improve posture, movement patterns, and overall well-being. She enjoys working with athletes to improve performance and those recovering from injury to improve pain and function. Pilates is a safe and effective routine for people with low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, hip and knee replacement, among other injuries.

Amy has seen both personally and professionally that regular practice increases flexibility, stability, and balance. She is an expert providing modifications to meet your needs to ensure success in your movement journey and is passionate about empowering all clients to enjoy exercise and embrace the healthy movement.
