Meet Ana
Hello, my name is Ana! My passion for movement and rehabilitation is what led me to study physical therapy and then Pilates.
I was first introduced to Pilates as a method of rehabilitation when I was earning my Bachelor's degree (2013) in Physical Therapy at the University of Santa Catarina in Brazil. I became certified in Pilates at the Ivanna Henn Pilates studio in Florianopolis, Brazil. Immediately I loved Pilates and I recognized its value in helping people reach their peak performance and recover from injuries.
In 2014 I moved to the United States to be with my mother. After completing a PT internship at York Hospital in Maine, I decided I could best use my education in PT by focusing my career on teaching Pilates to others to keep them as strong, functional and pain-free as possible.
I love having my own studio and online business so I'm able to work with my clients one-on-one to help them be the best they can be!
Services
-
During a private session you have the full attention at all times of the instructor, who will design and teach a class specifically for your goals and capabilities on the day of the session. Our body changes over time so, as instructors, we are always watching carefully to see what is appropriate in the moment. We build balanced programs that exercise, move and stretch every muscle in the body in each session.
Private sessions are appropriate if you are new to Pilates and want individual attention as well as for those who simply prefer a one-on-one experience.

“I have been taking Reformer sessions for years now, and I feel like very class is different! Ana is very knowledgeable and like how there is childcare care available for mothers to take a bit of a self-care break!”
