Our Story

Rise & Align Pilates Co. was born out of a love for movement and a desire for community. My journey began years ago at a somatic therapy retreat in Europe, where I discovered how deeply interconnected our physical and emotional well-being can be. Returning to Nanaimo, BC, I felt a calling to share this knowledge with others. I believe that Pilates isn’t just a workout; it’s a way to reconnect with oneself. Each session is a chance to pause and reflect, a moment to celebrate progress, no matter how small. As my passion for teaching grew, so did my vision for a studio that felt like home—a welcoming place where anyone can cultivate strength and balance in their lives. Today, I feel grateful to witness transformations, not just in the bodies of my clients, but in their spirits as well.
