I began working with Ingrid about 7 years ago following a spinal fusion of L4,L5,and S1. With her direct intervention to include regular strengthening exercises, correct stretching, Pilates and modifications to typical movement patterns, my overall quality of life has improved. Ingrid ‘s expertise has helped me to learn how to prevent reinjury and to significantly reduce my pain. Ingrid is a gifted practitioner who strives to understand and problem solve the underlying issues that have impacted my pain and mobility.

I started working with Ingrid shortly after my kidney transplant. It was suggested to me that Pilates would be a good way to rebuild my strength safely after the surgery. Ingrid is both a physical therapist and a Pilates instructor, which is a great combination for anyone with more complex needs. Ingrid’s approach of combining Pilates with physical therapy, massage therapy, and some aspects of manual therapy was the real key. While, ultimately, Ingrid used Pilates as the centerpiece of my treatment program, I truly believe it was the combination of the techniques that she devised that was truly unique. For example, she would decide which aspect of treatment to emphasize based on my symptoms at that particular session. Her holistic view of treatment is what I think made the real difference in the results and helped me recover as quickly as possible.

I have studied Pilates with Ingrid for years. Her deep knowledge of the workings of the human body and her friendly but effective teaching style have helped me become stronger and guided me through many issues as I’ve aged.

Thank you for giving me the tools needed to deal with my ongoing Sciatica and Scoliosis. Your teaching skills are outstanding! Having taught school, Gymnastics, and Pilates for the last 48 years, I feel I am qualified to “judge” someone’s teaching ability. You challenged me without pushing too hard. You were gentle yet firm and consistent and most of all your experienced eye knew what my body needed!
