“Dawn changed my life!  First, I will give a bit of background to explain how drastically Dawn helped me.  My husband and I were blessed with healthy, large (9lbs and 6.5lbs), full term twins.  The twin pregnancy caused a lot of damage to my torso and required me to have surgeries to repair my abdomen. I had considerable back pain and lost much of my abdominal strength, so much so that I couldn’t roll over in bed.  All of this while caring for newborn twins, our two year old daughter and a husband who traveled every week all week.  Enter Dawn…

Dawn spoke to me about Pilates and how much this form of exercise had helped her with her back.  I began meeting with Dawn on a weekly basis. Dawn tailored our sessions to my specific needs and worked within my hectic daily schedule.  Each week we met I noticed improvement and decreased back pain.  One night I rolled over in bed without sitting up!  I continued working with Dawn getting stronger and stronger.  I feel I would not be where I am today without the help of Dawn.  She was instrumental in my goal of getting back to a normal life and introducing me to a great form of exercise.”

“I am 51 years old and have enjoyed learning the Pilates method from Dawn for over 4 years.  She is a passionate professional with a love for seeing people become healthy and strong.  I am stronger, more flexible and stand taller than ever before!  Her knowledge and experience enable her to take you at whatever level you are and elevate you to a place you never thought you could be.  Dawn is sensitive to every phase of your health and well-being.  She knows how to adjust each exercise and each workout to maximize the strength you have that day. You get exactly what you need based on your body and ability in every move.  That is the beauty of personalized training.  Pilates is a beautiful exercise that strengthens your body completely, gives you incredible flexibility, lengthens your muscles and gives you beautiful posture.  It takes an experienced professional, like Dawn, to teach the proper form to experience the maximum benefit."

“Dawn is simply awesome! She helped “shape” my life in every sense of the word. She provided me with comprehensive and tailored nutrition advice and counseling, and offered the most personalized, challenging and thorough Pilates sessions I‘ve ever experienced. She is well practiced and knowledgeable in both mind and body fitness, and places important emphasis on their balanced integration. If you find yourself under her instruction in any forum, you’ve found Your Wellness Home!”

“Dawn is passionate about Pilates, healthy eating, and overall well-being. She is a continual learner about the human body, healthy food options, exercise and how critical each is to quality of life..especially as we age. I have always been committed to exercise, but her Pilates program has challenged me to use muscles I never knew I had! In less than six months, I have seen improvement in flexibility, strength and balance. Dawn continues to modify her model based on my progression with the movements. I am not the most coordinate with some of the exercises, but she is always patient. My Pilates journey has been challenging, but Dawn’s high energy, smile, sense of humor has made each session fun. Fitlosophy falls into the “highly recommended” category.”
