About Debbie
Reclaim Your Vitality. Rewrite Your Story.
I’ve been teaching for 30 years, but the last few have been my greatest teachers. Cancer, post-radiation damage, the battle to reclaim my body, my energy, my life — it changed everything. I’m not defined by cancer. I don’t want any woman to suffer the way I have, in any area of their lives or their health. I believe life after 50 can and should be your Power Era.
Too many women are living with that nagging feeling that something isn’t quite right. You push through. You take care of everyone else. You ignore the little signs — joint pain and stiffness, fatigue, the faint whisper that you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way.
I’m here to tell you: you can feel at home in your body (and your life) again. You can move with ease and grace, feel beautiful inside and out, and step into this next chapter of life with confidence and energy.
My work blends movement, healing, and deep self-awareness to help women over 50 reconnect with their bodies, rebalance their energy, and rediscover their power.
I know what it’s like to feel betrayed by your own body. To wonder if you’ll ever feel strong again. But I also know what’s possible when you listen to your body, move the way you were uniquely designed to move, and give yourself the care you truly deserve.
My work is not about fighting aging, but rather to redefine it.
You are not here to shrink, fade, or settle into the background. This is your time to be invincible, not invisible.

What Clients Are Saying
"Deb has an unbelievable wealth of knowledge and ideas about how to have a great body AND live a beautiful life.
I could write pages about how much I love her philosophies around fitness (it doesn't require you to spend hours in the gym) and diet (you don't need to be "on" one to lose weight) -- but what's more important is the impact she's had on my life. With just ONE tool she suggested, I was able to resolve hip and lower back problems that had plagued me for nearly a decade. For that alone, she earns my highest accolades!
Plus, she's smart, hilarious, warm, and even though she has a rockin' bod, she'll never make you feel like yours is any less beautiful. She's on my speed-dial -- and if you're a woman over 40 who wants to look even better than you did 10 years ago, I suggest you get her in your corner, too."
— Helen Hunter Mackenzie
"Debbie is not only skilled and knowledgeable, she makes you feel she is genuinely concerned about you, your goals, and helping you attain them. A wonderful experience! I would recommend Debbie to anyone wanting to improve their health, flexibility, and general well being! Very inspiring."
— Wanda C.
"Debbie's keen observation skills make it easy for her to focus on just what I need to be able to move so much better. I really discovered just how strong my core is today -- and how much more I need to work it!
Thanks for sharing your skills and talents with this Pilates novice!"
— Julie P.
"Deb is absolutely one of the best Pilates Instructors I have worked with! She is a "master" of Pilates. She has helped me to strengthen my core, tone my muscles, lose inches, and shape my body! She helped me rebuild my abdominal area after a serious physical challenge. Thank you, Deb!"
— Pam G.
"Debbie is awesome!! I loved my session."
— Colleen C.
"This way of eating combined with Pilates had a tremendous effect on my body. I lost 7 lbs and my fasting blood sugars improved dramatically. I also lost inches in my waist and hips.
I will continue this anti-inflammatory diet and attempt to lose a little more weight. Hopefully be able to discontinue my Metformin for my Type 2 diabetes that was diagnosed 12 months ago. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to feel better.
Thanks for all your encouragement."
