Inspiration To Movement

Rachel is a wonderful Pilates teacher and massage therapist. Her knowledge of the body and eye for what you need specifically as a client is impressive. I'm a guy who never thought he'd be doing Pilates (or knew what they were for that matter), and I now consider working with Rachel a vital part of my fitness routine. She is helping me age well by improving my strength, mobility, and body awareness. If you want to grow in those areas, or need help overcoming physical limitations, I would encourage you to work with Rachel. It is challenging work, but challenges are how we grow. She will help your body become stronger and more resilient!

I have been taking Pilates classes and private sessions with ITM or almost three years and highly recommend Rachel. I was originally encouraged by my doctor to consider Pilates to help my lower back pain issues and put off eventual surgery. Rachel has not only helped me to strengthen my back, but even at 54, I am much stronger than I was when I was in my 30s-40s. I have a better understanding for how to support by back and hips, and have reduced my foot pain as well. Rachel's extensive knowledge of physiology combined with her attention to each student's needs is truly special.

I have multiple joint replacements and lots of arthritis and always fear going to a gym or a trainer because my issues are very complex. I have been to many hours of regular physical therapy and because they always target a specific area of the body I couldn’t seem to strengthen my entire body. I feel completely safe and confident with Rachel as she creates Pilates therapy and exercises that are individual to my body. My frozen shoulder is moving and I can already see improvement in my posture after just a couple of months. I am excited to see how much more I can move in the future. Highly recommend.
