Extensive education and certifications…
in Gyrotonic®, FRC®, FRA®, and Yoga. BA in Dance and Instructor Educator.
Most importantly, I’ve been teaching movement non-stop since I was 16-years-old and have consistently taught in my studio since 1989.
I’ve worked with many clients over the years, from professional athletes, dancers, celebrities, CEO’s of fortune 500 companies, and clients who want to get in the best shape of their life.
I’m highly sought after for helping people recover from pain caused from arthritis, inflammation and chronic illness. I also work with seniors, and clients who suffer from immune and mobility issues.
After 44 years of helping clients get out of pain and back in shape, I know what works.
“Tracy is like no other Pilates instructor you will find. Her vast knowledge of exercise and body dynamics comes with decades of experience”
“I was suffering from dual frozen shoulders, Tracy worked with me and in less that a year, I had 100% shoulder mobility. I would never have been able to achieve this without her knowledge.”
“The most effective workout I have ever done. Tracy works her magic to not only get you into great shape, but to heal past injuries and move you into health.”
A little about me,
I began as a dancer at age 10, and by 16 I was teaching classes and by 17 dancing professionally.
I received scholarships from dance companies and colleges, and danced for several companies, and then became artistic director of my own award winning dance company.
I completed a degree in dance while still working as a professional dancer, choreographer, and producer, and oh yeah, and a single mother.
Pilates happened by stumbling upon a book and a few small studios in Los Angeles.
In 1988, Pilates was relatively unknown to the masses, information was scarce, and only a few studios existed at the time.
By 1989, my teacher came to this country, we worked together and he danced for my company. I took up study with a 2 year apprenticeship and achieved an 'old school personal certification'.
My first clients were severe neck and back pain clients as well as professional volleyball players and surfers.
Since then I have started programs for gyms, yoga studios, country clubs and physical therapy offices.
I started a successful Pilates program for a physical therapy clinic that treated clients out of a gym.
I designed the Pilates program for the mens Pro Am Surf Team for Quiksilver.
I expanded my program for the Roxy Women’s Pro Surf Team.
I helped revamp a struggling Pilates Studio in Los Angeles while re-designing their group classes. We had a waiting list and a full celebrity clientele.
I expanded the Gyrotonic program at one of the most prestigious Country Clubs in Indian Wells.
I started the Pilates programs for what eventually became Yoga Works.
All the while running my own studio, teacher education, and mentorship programs.
Autodidactic by nature, I am constantly studying anatomy, the natural health field, cleansing, nutrition, and wellness. I also continue my education in these fields where necessary.
Over years of experience and having worked with thousands of clients…
I have developed sound and proven programs to help people with chronic pain and debilitating issues.
Having suffered for years with a degenerative illness that included joint pain, limited mobility, fibromyalgia, and systemic inflammation, I healed myself.
Not only have I helped myself, my programs have helped thousands of clients achieve their fitness and mobility goals and get out of pain.
