Free Your Joints

And the rest will follow!
Get ready to break free of what's holding you back!

If you're dealing with pain, chronic tightness, setbacks from injuries, plateaus in training, have unanswered movement problems, are a fellow Pilates teacher or trainer looking to expand your tools, or you simply want to invest in joints that feel healthier, stronger and freer...then get ready!

​

As a pro who consistently works with movers of all levels - from athletic professionals and trainers, to people who work behind a desk all day - my classes use tried and true ways built on science to help YOU build a better YOU. You'll be better able to understand, listen and challenge each of your joints so you regain the kind of movement confidence and curiosity often lost when things start to feel "not right".

It isn't your age, bad posture or even that previous injury holding you back but not being guided to safely feel things that are often guarded or ignored, train ranges and tissue that are weakest, feel stretches deeper, and sustain the changes needed in each joint to approach movement with a greater appreciation of freedom. 

​

It isn't the 25+ years of experience teaching Pilates, or being a dance professional and teacher, or the four (4) additional courses in the Functional Range Systems™ that sets me and these classes apart! It's what I learn from helping Pilates professionals trying to bridge the gap, all the dancers, athletes and entertainers needing to offset the demands of work, and people ease years of chronic pain. I don't want to just teach you what to do, but why and how so you can make choices that advocate for your joints over a lifetime!

As a Pilates Instructor and fellow FRS practitioner, I was having difficulty with the blending of the two systems and seeing how I could work them in together. Kim has an amazing way to do that.

Thanks so much for blazing the path of how we can apply FRS principles into the Pilates world.

You are the best Kimberly, I enjoy the course so much. And I am discovering different muscles, feeling, connections in my body every week. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

 After the first online course I got so hooked up I continued with the annual membership. All the courses have been fantastic and very different from one another. Never a dull moment! I have learned so much both my body and my clients have benefit from.

Kim is a great teacher, she is knowledgeable, passionate and fun to work with.

At 67 I can honestly say my body is changing. It's hard work. I don't want to do it. And I'm glad I have you to push me. In no way does the effort I need to use hurt me.  When I do hip CARS and then get on the reformer to do foot work I clearly feel the force going through my legs into the hips joints, into the pelvic ring and up my spine. I only wish I'd found this before!

I really appreciate how Kim takes the time to educate you about the Kinstretch system as you work through the progressions.  Her instruction is clear, consistent and easy to follow for individuals at any fitness level.

Thank you, Kimberly!!  I truly appreciate your work, teaching, and creating so much good content!
I love the cueing, teaching style, and accessibility of the classes! My ankles felt better which I especially noticed while running.

I can’t thank you enough for your amazing classes and tools.

When I started working with Kim, I didn't think my hip would play such a central role. The range of movement was small and often I had pain after working out but all the movements explained to me were really good. I've been training with Kim's method physically and mentally for three months and the change is obvious. It's shocking to realize how hard I have to train and how different my body feels than it looks from the outside

Must do course for all! To open up spaces unknown, to ask for more...To pull, pull and push, push! Kimberly you are super at what you do! I have discovered so much space in my body and thoughts after your course Kimberly. Everyday the CARs are my to go moments of mindfulness.

I just finished the hip abduction class. I think that is now tied for my all-time favourite with your hip extension class from the first series I took!

As usual, your CARS were the bomb. Probably my favourite with all of the hip rotation!

I’ve gained better mobility and therefore better strength. My handstand has improved and I’m generally noticing a positive change in my training performance.

I just want to let you know that I am thoroughly enjoying all of your classes and really feel like this movement is what I need to be doing. I also am impressed with your knowledge and your creativity in your class planning. So thank you so much.

Kim’s suggestions for my personal challenges and for pains that were popping up from old injuries were what I found most helpful. She is so intuitive and gives such great insight to what might be helpful for me. She really helps simplify the things I was finding challenging.

Hey there Mover

I'm Kim, your Movement Guide

handstand_color.gif

As a certified professional with a commitment to continuous learning, I bring a wealth of tools, experience, and unique skills to help guide you and your body. While I hold three additional certifications (Functional Range Conditioning® Mobility Specialist, Kinstretch® instructor, and FRSC® Internal Strength Coach) on top of my 25+ years of teaching Pilates, what truly sets me apart in my field goes beyond credentials.

​

I’m always diving into new research, questioning what I've utilized and learned in the past, and offering guidance to those in need, including both clients and fellow instructors. My diverse experience working with a wide range of individuals has shaped my approach. From spending just 5 to 15 minutes with someone in pain who needs to return to the same movement, to helping a weekly client get stronger, I’ve honed my ability to find the right drills, environments, and programming to suit various fitness levels and schedules. My focus is on delivering cues that help clients not just learn movements, but truly experience their benefits.

 

I take pride in my work, but I also recognize that there’s always more to learn—and much of that learning comes from working with movers like you! Whether you join me online, 1:1 in my studio, find me at LA's Futbol Club (LAFC) or at Universal Studios, or mentoring a Pilates trainer online, I’m here to help you move better, feel better, and do everything you love even better!
