Catherine

Hey, I’m Catherine! I am the founder and owner of the Studio healdsburg, where i’ve been leading and teaching for over six years.

I teach Pilates designed for people who want to feel strong, capable, and at home in their bodies — not just during class, but in everyday life. My work is known for its musicality, precision, and embodied intelligence, blending thoughtful programming with a strong emphasis on form, rhythm, and presence.

My path into this work began in 2012 when I was introduced to The Dailey Method. What started as a personal practice quickly evolved into a decade-long journey of training, teaching, and eventually studio ownership.

After opening a Dailey Method studio in 2019, I expanded my training through the Balanced Body Pilates program, completing certifications in Mat, Reformer, and Chair. These experiences continue to shape the way I teach — with clarity, intention, and a deep respect for longevity in the body.

The Studio is a dream realized — a space that brings together the best of boutique fitness in a welcoming, supportive environment. Teaching this community is one of the most meaningful parts of my life.

One expression of my approach is Mat Ritual — a contemporary Pilates-inspired class that blends focused, fluid sequences with musical immersion and subtle intensity. It’s designed to help you build strength while also creating space to tune in and reconnect.

This same philosophy extends into my retreat work through Touch the Ground, where movement, reflection, and intentional space come together in a more immersive way.

I believe class is an opportunity to tap into something deeper. Through breath, rhythm, and shared effort, we access a kind of energy and connection that carries far beyond the workout.

I can’t wait to have you in class!
