Marianne hails from Dallas, TX where she has been teaching Pilates and personal training since 2013. Her passion for Pilates originates from a chance enrollment in an “Anatomy for Dancers” college course which she quickly found out the benefits of Pilates after a semester of regular practice. After completing her comprehensive teacher training through Power Pilates, Marianne went on to work with professional athletes, chronic injuries, and clients with neurodegenerative diseases through premier fitness clubs, private homes, and assisted living facilities. Prior to her full-time Pilates career, Marianne graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas and went on to work in the nonprofit sector as a fundraiser and then as an assistant at a tech company. Seeking a way to bring more movement and creativity into her life, she embarked on a journey as a performing artist through booking agencies in Dallas, specializing in contortion, aerial, and partner acrobatics. She credits Pilates for helping her recover expeditiously from both shows and multiple injuries. Marianne believes in the power and adaptability of Pilates to fit anyone - no matter your fitness level or prior experience, there is a Pilates session that is right for you.
