PILATES
Pilates is neuromuscular re-education. These series of techniques restore correct functioning while building strength and increasing flexibility + mobility.
There are so many avenues to exercise + they all have their time + place. I like to view Pilates as a longevity form of exercise because it is appropriate for any age + it offers athletes + movers the necessary tools to continue doing what they love for as long as possible.

SOMATICS
Somatic work brings more awareness to your body + therefore, to your nervous system. Our nervous systems are responsible for our behaviors, thoughts, + emotions. So the fact that the majority of us live with dysregulated nervous systems means that we are functioning from behaviors, thoughts + emotions that are not actually connected to our true self.
Through attunement, this work offers greater connection + understanding of self, allowing you to step out into your life with a felt sense of safety + knowledge about what you need.

SAFETY
This is the foundation of a happy life: Safety within oneself. We often look to external changes when life feels lacking- maybe its a struggle with social anxiety or fear of being vulnerable or seen. But real safety is developed within ones self when we look at the nervous system level.
Through our sessions together we will not only strengthen the physical body but also one’s ability to connect to their body + understand their nervous system.
“Danielle has been a breath of fresh air! I knew of Danielle through dance classes, but when I saw she offered pilates classes 1:1, I knew I wanted to be an apart! She is effortlessly supportive and really knows how to command a room yet leave space”
