Susan was first introduced to the Pilates Method in 1995. After a decade of practice and progressing to the advanced classical level, Susan was inspired to become a teacher herself and received certifications on all the apparatus from Power Pilates in New York City. In 2008, she opened a Pilates and yoga studio in Bernardsville, New Jersey, teaching to students of all ages and fitness levels. In 2014, she relocated to the Bay Area with her family, and sold the studio in 2017. Today, Susan continues to enjoy the art of teaching Pilates in the classical style she studied in New York. In addition to being a Pilates instructor, she is a yoga and meditation teacher, an Ayurveda health coach, and founder of Wise Soul Ayurveda, a wellness coaching and retreats company. She and her husband live in Calistoga and can’t think of a nicer place to be.
