Specialities Apprentice Instructor
Teaching Since 2025
Renee discovered Pilates during a period of deep burnout from running her own design studio. Through consistent practice, she began reconnecting with her body — not just to move, but to feel again. Having experienced firsthand how Pilates can release long-held tension and rebuild self-trust by accessing a quiet strength she didn’t know she had, she felt called to begin teacher training with Balanced Body, where she is currently completing her comprehensive certification.
In her teaching, Renee offers a gentle yet intentional approach — inviting curiosity, awareness, and a sense of freedom through movement. She especially enjoys working with people who are open to learning about themselves, particularly during times of transition, when life feels stagnant or when hope and joy feel distant.
Outside the studio, Renee enjoys running, skiing, and quiet walks with her husband and their dog, Stella. She believes that, like the ocean, we all have tides — and Pilates is one way we learn to ride them with grace.
