Private Pilates session with Vera is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and great to work with!!

I was delighted to have found Heidi: having a Pilates instructor who is also a DPT is such a rare combination. I feel like I am in very safe hands. Heidi always watches my form and suggests adjustments as necessary. Despite having multiple orthopedic issues, Pilates workouts are now fun again, and I can see progress week by week with how my body responds and how I can advance the exercises. I would not hesitate to recommend Heidi – she is able to tailor exercises and give advice for even the most difficult cases while encouraging you to listen to your body.

Dr. Heidi is observant and a careful listener, which is important to me as a seven year shoulder patient with three ortho surgeries under my belt. I feel confident in her Pilates instruction because her skills as a PT remain present in the background—This is a great ‘next step’ after recovery from a reverse total shoulder replacement—Dr. Heidi is knowledgeable about what that entails and has been building the sessions around that specific situation. Highly recommend!

If you are new to Pilates or have been practicing Pilates for years, if you are healthy or are injured, Vera will meet your needs. She has the knowledge and experience to create countless workouts to meet people where they are and help them to become stronger, all while having fun. A year ago, I cracked a rib and was in considerable discomfort, especially when I moved. I didn’t want to lose strength during my recovery. Several people told me it wouldn’t be possible to continue with Pilates during my recovery. Vera saw how motivated I was and accepted the challenge. She created workouts tailored to my needs and limitations that were increasingly challenging as my recovery progressed and which did not cause pain. In fact, each week I left the studio feeling better than when I entered. Vera encourages and affirms each of her clients. Her ever cheerful personality brightens the gloomiest of Seattle’s gray, winter days.
