Heather moved to North Carolina from New Orleans in November 2007 after her fiancee was recruited here. She lived in New Orleans for 8 years and practiced government relations law for 5 years with the city's Mayor's Office. After driving by a small Pilates studio in New Orleans numerous times, she decided to take a few classes just to try it. A few classes turned into many, and she liked it so much she decided to become an instructor. Pilates helped heal the physical and emotional fallout from the Hurricane Katrina, as well as provide some relief from the post-Katrina stress of working for the Mayor's Office! After she broke her ankle and then subsequently injured her knee in a car accident, Pilates has also kept the aches and pains from both injuries at bay. When she is not practicing her Teaser, she spends time with her adorable fiancee and two ridiculously amusing cats, and visits her family in New Jersey. She also enjoys running and BOSU. Heather is certified in mat Pilates through the Physical Mind Institute and is working toward her equipment trainer certification at NC Pilates. She is excited about the opportunity to teach at Blue Point Yoga!
