ABOUT MARY
I discovered my passion for physical therapy after overcoming a debilitating shoulder injury in my twenties. Inspired by my own recovery, I left my graduate program in Statistics to pursue a career in Physical Therapy at the University of Florida. Pilates became a pivotal part of my journey when traditional methods fell short in treating a subsequent back injury during PT school. Certified by the Pilates Method Alliance in 2003, I integrated Pilates into my practice and witnessed profound improvements in my patients' recovery. After earning my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2010, I founded a Pilates studio in Huntsville focusing on injury recovery and chronic conditions.Now based in Chattanooga, I continue to deepen my expertise as a Polestar Pilates Rehab Practitioner, dedicated to helping others achieve lasting health and wellness.

ABOUT BETHANY
I grew up in Chicago, IL but spent most of my adult life in Seattle, WA. I am a licensed aesthetician with nearly 30 years of experience. I had a thriving private practice in Seattle for 20 years which came to an end due to Covid however all of that brought me here to Chattanooga to be closer to family! During my teens I was an active runner and carried that with me wherever I went. In my early twenties I discovered Bikram Yoga (the really hot kind) and fell in love with it because it took my mind, body and soulI to a place I’d never known. I practiced yoga and ran for many years. It wasn’t until I tore my hamstring that had me reconsidering my workout routine. I realized I needed more core strength to start with so I found a studio in Seattle that offered pilates and I fell in love.
I moved here to Chattanooga just a couple years ago and recently reignited my love for Pilates when I met Mary. I am enjoying my training program and I am looking forward to learning all that I can. I believe Pilates to be a core centered strength approach to healing and reforming your body!
