Susan is very knowledgeable about healing the body through movement. You can tell she is passionate about Pilates and is constantly learning new things to support herself and her clients. I appreciate that she respects how sensitive I am and is willing to work with what my body is telling/showing her. She is quick to adapt movements so I feel safe yet still get an appropriate workout for that particular session. Susan has an impeccable eye for subtle differences in alignment. I recommend Susan to anyone wanting a movement teacher who really cares about their individual body concerns
Susan saved me after a giant dog attack broke my leg. I trusted her immediately and it has paid off.

I began working with Susan to regain strength and conditioning after an old knee injury was exacerbated by my long work hours (I own a retail business and am on my feet alot). Over time, I've been more and more unable to exercise in my favorite ways due to that old injury. At inopportune moments, the old injury would flare-up, leaving me limping and in pain. I was initially trying to avoid a knee replacement, but as these flare-ups in creased in frequency, they made it clear a knee replacement ...or something to help... was inevitable. I've been working with Susan weekly to help me get as strong as I can, safely, prior to the surgery which is a few months off. She has helped me get a great workout, strengthen all of the important areas to keep strong, while being very safe... The great thing is that Susan is super creative at finding ways to work an area that needs help, while also being careful to not aggravate an injured area. She has found super-interesting ways to help me keep body parts in condition that are "further up the chain" than my knees while not hurting 'ye old knees! I can now go up and down stairs without pain, which I couldn't do before working with her. I'm confident I will go into surgery in good condition so I heal faster and get back to lifelong enjoyment of walking, and other activities. I am well aware of the long recovery I'll need to anticipate, but I also plan to get back into the studio to work with her as fast as I can after surgery because I know how much it will help my recovery! I'm looking forward to being able to again hike, ride my Elliptigo, do Nia and just walk without pain, thanks to her help in keeping me in great shape before and after the upcoming new knee!
Susan has been my personal Pilates instructor for 6 years now, and in every lesson Susan meets me prepared with a personalized workout specific to my needs and goals. She always asks me if there is anything physical condition effecting me at the start of my visit so that she can further customize my session to accommodate those changes in my body. Her professionalism and thoughtfulness is always so refreshing.
She truly invests herself in learning about her clients needs and is constantly training herself to advance her skills, knowledge and expertise in all that she offers. Susan is a delight to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking private, semi-private, or other Pilates instruction.
My backstory: I came to Susan with pelvic instability after my first child was born, which caused me to have difficulty walking. Over the course of my work with Susan I strengthened my core and stabilized my body to the point that I was able to successfully carry a second child without a recurring issue of pelvic instability, and within a year after that I began competing in Cyclocross bicycle races. Susan has guided me in and out of the roller-coaster of physical limits that I've been able to put my body through. I am so thrilled about what I CAN do now because of what Susan has helped me learn about myself, and the core strength and foundational mobility that she has helped me achieve! THANK YOU, SUSAN!
Since taking Pilates lessons from Susan, I've increased my flexibility and strength. For example, I've noticed that it is much easier for me to get up and down from the floor now. My "duet" class partner has said the same. She now has the flexibility to bend and more easily pull on her socks -- very helpful for someone who has had hip replacement surgery! Susan is wonderful to work with! She has helped me so much with strengthening my knees and my back and working to improve my balance.
Susan has helped me with strength training and is very particular in how I am performing the exercises while keeping in mind my skeletal "issues". I have noticed I am much stronger in cycling and swimming. She is the BEST!

Working with Susan has been a really great experience for me. Susan is very knowledgeable about body and movement and pays close attention to my posture and form so I can get the most out of every workout. Having that one on one contact really allows for a very personalized session where I'm able to concentrate on the areas that really need strengthening. Since I've started Fusion Movement Pilates I've improved my posture, increased my core strength and my flexibility, and seen a significant decrease in my sciatic pain. Each week I look forward to my sessions with Susan, and the variety of exercises we do keeps my workouts interesting. I love using the machines, but we also do exercises that I can easily do on my own to carry on my workouts throughout the week. I would totally recommend Fusion Movement Pilates to everyone, especially people with injuries and other physical issues who really need that personalized attention that Susan can give.
