Always a mover, having been a competitive athlete and a performance artist since elementary school, Helen discovered Pilates in her hometown of Evansville, IN, and was fascinated by how it drastically changed the way she moved in all of her activities (in addition to how it immediately helped her persistent shoulder and hip pain). However, she fell in love with Pilates after seeing the immediate and concrete positive changes it made in people’s lives. After completing her 500-hour certification, Helen taught both private and group classes, interested in fostering a space where all feel welcome to challenge themselves and grow. Outside of Pilates, Helen’s interests include spending time with her four sisters, playing music, and asking every dog she meets if she can pet them. Helen moved to Nashville in September of 2022 and is looking forward to getting to know the Marathon community.
