Physical fitness has always been at the center of Leslie's life - a state high school tennis champion and an avid outdoorswoman, she takes every chance she can get to enjoy the incredible outdoor activities that the Pacific Northwest has to offer, from skiing to hiking, swimming, rafting, rock climbing, backpacking, and traveling. Pilates has given her the strength and well-being she needs to continue her love of fitness and movement.
Leslie instantly fell in love with Pilates after her first mat class in 2006, and loves sharing her passion for it with her clients. Whether you are new to Pilates or a seasoned participant, Leslie will create a workout for you that is challenging, fun, and tailored to your needs.
Leslie earned her BA in History, with a minor in Politics and International Relations at Scripps College in Claremont, California. She recently received her Pilates certification through the MAT Pilates teacher training program. This 800-hour, year-long study was completed under the direction of April Tillman, of Urban Pilates (Portland), and Dorothee Vandewalle, of Metropolitan Pilates (Seattle).
