Originally from Maryland, Abby was first introduced to Pilates in college as a fun workout to do with friends. Having suffered from chronic neck pain most of her life, she started practicing Pilates more intensely when she realized how much the movements helped to relieve her pain. After moving to NYC in 2023 to pursue a Masters in Social Work, Abby decided that she wanted to turn her hobby into a job and began her apprenticeship at Power Pilates. Abby hopes to use her interest in mental health and her knowledge of Pilates to help her clients strengthen their mind-body connections, improving not only their physical health, but their mental health as well.
