In 2020, after leaving my career in ballet and beginning my training as a Pilates instructor (while working another job and studying to become a holistic hormone health coach), I hit a wall. I was constantly getting sick, I was perpetually exhausted and anxious, had a growing number of food allergies, didn’t recognize my bloated face in the mirror, missed appointments from brain fog, suffered chronic yeast infections, had painful cystic acne, no libido, and my mood swings were seriously affecting my relationship. I was burnt out. Thus began my journey to heal my gut, recover my adrenal health, transition off hormonal birth control, and address my mental health and personal beliefs.

During this time of transformation, I began to recognize the parallels between Joseph Pilates’ work and the pillars of maintaining good hormonal health. I was also mesmerized by the phases of the female menstrual cycle and the world of self-understanding they opened up for me. My health, physical fitness, and life changed as a result of adjusting my lifestyle to embrace the work of Pilates and menstrual health. I felt like I had sprung back to life!

This feeling of vibrancy, of feeling fully myself, that I had nearly forgot existed inspired me to meld all of this knowledge together into a lifestyle approach that would transform the lives of so many women that I knew were suffering from the same “normal” symptoms I had. The Spring to Life Method was born.

Since then, I have been sharing my cyclical approach to Pilates training, educating women on natural cycles and fertility awareness, sharing the habits that build the Spring to Life Method lifestyle, and teaching women to work with their hormonal cycles instead of against them for more peace and harmony in their lives.
