Recent Client Testimonials:

"Mara challenges you with tremendous support. She gives you the encouragement you need to push yourself harder. She's an excellent trainer, providing precise and clear instructions to make sure you're getting the most out of every exercise. Thanks to Mara, I already feel a great difference in my body in such a short period of time." - Debbie P.

"Mara is fantastic! Having Mara as my trainer, I push myself harder, but I feel like I'm having fun. She's quick to recognize where you need some help and provides great guidance on how to adjust yourself and improve on your weak areas. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor for my introduction to Pilates." - John T.

"Mara led four Pilates sessions for me and by the end I was hooked. She provided such patient, detailed and expert instruction and showed such a deep understanding of the Pilates discipline. She explained the practice in terms of one's anatomy in a way that helped develop an understanding of the breathing techniques and other elements that sometimes seem too subtle to pick up. I looked forward to every session and felt fantastic afterwords and saw a difference in the areas I was trying to focus on, even after just a few trial sessions. I endorse Mara highly!" - Anna K.
