Dawn (Owner + Instructor)
(Re)Form Pilates was built on the principle that mindful movement can transform how we feel, move, and show up in our lives. I experienced that transformation firsthand through my own Pilates practice and it changed how I feel, how I move, and how I live.
​
What began as a personal practice quickly became a lifelong passion to help others experience that same transformation. I opened (Re)Form Pilates to create a space where people feel supported, seen, and empowered to move with confidence — no matter where they’re starting from.
​
As a 500-hour Comprehensive Certified Pilates Instructor, I’m dedicated to helping others build strength, awareness, and resilience through safe, intentional movement. My goal is for every person who walks into the studio to leave feeling stronger, more grounded, and more at home in their body.
