History

When II became a bodyworker in 1981, I found I loved working on people's bodies. In 1992 I discovered therapeutic exercise and realized that given the proper guidance people could heal themselves. In 1994 I became a Pilates trainer. As an Ortho-Bionomist I am a teacher showing my clients how to heal themselves as well. I find that if you can show a person how to heal, they can take responsibility for their own well-being.

Long story short: Go to Karen's classes, and for $350 you can deal with a degrading /condescending instructor with questionable exercises. (Or you can see a post-natal/pelvic floor physical...
