Michelle St.Claire
Certified Pilates Instructor
Certified Personal Trainer
As a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Pilates Instructor I stress the spinal health benefits that Pilates promotes. I specialize in Pilates and hold certification through Balanced Body University at Core Conditioning including the reformer, cadillac (trapeze table), wunda chair, ladder barrel and spine corrector. My training includes diverse influences in both fitness and Pilates.
My Story: I've always been interested in fitness, however, due to scoliosis, I was constantly searching for a remedy against chronic back pain, fatigue and insomnia. Here's the good news: Pilates has been my "lifesaver" because it has not only helped me to alleviate my back pain, but now I sleep soundly through the night and I have more energy throughout the day. Further, my posture has drastically improved and I have connected my mind and body through controlled breathing. All of this through the healing of Pilates. If you're in search of core strengthening, if you aim to sleep well and have less pain - Pilates is for you! Feel free to call me today to discuss any of your individual needs. - Michelle St.Claire
