FAQ — Before You Book

Questions, answered.

Everything readers ask before booking — rates, availability, conditions, equipment, and where to begin. If yours isn’t here, the contact desk is always open.

What are your rates?
Rates depend on session type, package size, and distance — current pricing is listed on each service page. Not sure what fits? Inquire for a custom quote.
What is your availability?
Availability varies by week. Book a free consultation to check current openings.
How often should I do Pilates?
Most clients see meaningful change with 2–3 sessions per week. If you’re working through a specific condition, we may start with more frequency and adjust as you progress. One session a week still makes a difference — the key is consistency.
How is Pilates different from physical therapy?
Physical therapy typically addresses a specific injury or dysfunction and is time-limited. Pilates builds on that foundation — it teaches you how to move well across your whole body, not just the injured area. I have a pre-nursing background and work alongside PT care, but Pilates is a practice you continue long after discharge.
Is Pilates safe during pregnancy?
Yes — with the right instructor. I specialize in perinatal Pilates and adapt every exercise to where you are in your trimester. I also work postpartum, supporting recovery from birth, diastasis recti, and pelvic floor changes.
I have hypermobility / POTS / scoliosis -- is this right for me?
These are my specialties. I work with clients with hypermobility, POTS, and scoliosis regularly. The approach is always root-cause: addressing alignment and stability before loading, and teaching your body to work within its actual range — not past it.
Do you come to me or do I come to you?
Both. I offer in-home sessions across Seattle and remote sessions via video. Some clients prefer the convenience of their own space; others find video better for schedule flexibility. Tell me what works for you during your free consultation.
What do I need for a remote session?
A mat and about six feet of open floor space. No equipment required to start — I design sessions around what you have. A stable internet connection and a device with a camera that can show your full body work best.
Can I do Pilates as a complete beginner?
Absolutely. Most of my clients start with no Pilates background. The first few sessions are about learning how to connect to your body — the exercises follow from there. You don’t need to be flexible, fit, or coordinated to begin.
What's the difference between mat and reformer Pilates?
Mat Pilates uses your body weight and gravity as resistance — it’s accessible anywhere and builds a strong foundation. Reformer Pilates adds spring-based resistance that can support and challenge you in new ways. Both follow the same principles. I currently offer mat-based sessions for in-home and remote clients.
