“Katia’s Mat class in Pilates was the workout I was looking for. I had never before seen someone so beautifully walk the line between gentle and tough. She inspired me to work harder than I knew I could.”  — Paul

Katia skillfully combines her foundational knowledge as a former physical therapist, her warm Brazilian charm and intuitive healing touch. As a physical therapist myself for 28 years and the recipient of her treatments, I can testify to their long-lasting benefits and to her outstanding skills.”  — Betty

“I am a professional actor and dancer who suffered from chronic injury. Since physical therapists referred me to Katia for Pilates, I have changed the way I dance. Katia has taught me to understand the basics of Pilates — the breathing, spine placements and visualizations. I learned that what improved my body was not the difficulty of the exercise, but the quality.” — Melinda

“After I had back surgery, Katia became my Pilates trainer. Her expertise and her knowledge of the body made me feel confident that I was in skilled, experienced hands.  And her personality made me feel warm and relaxed.  Within a couple of sessions I was well on my way to complete recovery.”  — Mike

“My 12-year-old son, Andrew, loves basketball and is a passionate player. After he suffered injuries, Katia helped him improve his flexibility and overall mobility. He is now a more skilled and confident player, and he absorbs falls and bumps much better than before, preventing further injuries. The sessions are fun, and Andrew always looks forward to seeing Katia again.” — Vicki

“When I met Katia, I immediately noticed her empathy, caring and expertise. When she helped me with a hip issue, I saw that she would be the perfect person to help my mother, who had been unable to walk for almost 20 years, following brain surgery. Under Katia’s loving and expert care, she quickly grew more confident and was able to do more than any of us thought possible.” — Ruta
