About Me
I feel incredibly lucky to have the experience of dancing professionally and also guiding people with their physical and emotional wellness. If we are living, we are learning. If we are learning, we are living. Combining all my joys - dancing, teaching, educating, helping, guiding, creating, meditating, & moving - are truly a gift that I do not take for granted. Deepest thank you to everyone I have worked with & if I haven't yet met you, I can not wait to work with you.

What Our Clients Say

Sally M.
“Working with Cary during my maternity leave was the best thing I could have done. She really helped me build my strength and body awareness. And it was super convenient -- she came to my home, held my baby when he needed it, and helped me incorporate him into Pilates moves. Pilates with Cary was different than the group classes and individual sessions I'd done in the past -- she hones in on the key muscles, helps you visualize the movements you're trying to make, and really demonstrates things in a way that sticks. Plus, she' got a wealth of knowledge in PT for adults and babies. I'm back to work now but will carry the practice forward.”
