A Denver native, Katie discovered Pilates early in her dancing career with the Atlanta Ballet, experiencing its transformative effects on her body firsthand.

In 2002, she became a certified instructor after completing a rigorous 600-hour training program with The Pilates Studio and Romana’s Pilates, mentored by renowned teachers Lori Coleman-Brown, Lauren Stephen, Dorothee Vandewalle, Juanita Lopez, and Romana Kryzanowska, a direct disciple of Joseph Pilates.

Following certification, Katie taught at Pilates Seattle International for two years before relocating to Oslo, Norway, where she danced with the Norwegian National Ballet. Despite her focus on dance, she continued practicing and teaching Pilates to fellow dancers.

Upon retiring from the stage in 2021 and returning to Denver, Katie prioritized teaching and furthering her Pilates education. She recently completed the Graduate Intensive Cycle with Lori Coleman-Brown at Atlas Pilates in Seattle.

Now, with her own studio, Katie is excited to share the myriad benefits of Pilates with others.
