About Me

Hi! Welcome! My name is Sami and I grew up in Moorpark, CA. I went to the University of Washington in Seattle where I played D1 college soccer. After graduation I got certified to teach yoga to pursue my love for movement, but in a more gentle way. Fast forward to discovering Pilates, I found that it had the balance of stretch and strength that I was looking for in a movement practice. In 2020, I got my 500 HR comprehensive pilates certification from the Sheppard Method.

Pilates changed my body and how I think about movement as a whole. Quality movement > quantity of movement. I approach every client the same way I approach my own practice; every day is different, we must meet ourselves where we are at. My goal as an instructor is help clients enjoy movement, feel strong, empowered, and be present in their bodies.

In my free time, I love cuddling with my rescue dog boogie, cooking with my fiancee, or going to the beach and jumping in the ocean. Besides pilates, I enjoy long walks in my neighborhood and going to the gym.
