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. When my soccer career came to an end, I found myself on a quest to find new ways to enjoy movement. I discovered Pilates in 2019, and fell in love with the balance of stretch, strength, and control. In 2020, I got my 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 walks or runs in my neighborhood and going to the gym with my partner.
