Report
I am a 72 year old male who had a sedentary office job for over 45 years. As a result I lacked a lot of mobility in my hips and spine. My wife suggested Pilates and I started with Vickie over three years ago. She did a comprehensive assessment of my condition and tailored a program for me focusing on flexibility and mobility. I have a one on one session once a week. Today I walk at least 10,000 steps five times a week and have no trouble with my hips and spine. Vickie is very focused on the individual need of each person and makes sure you follow the proper and safe techniques. I cannot thank her

When we all went into quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I started working from my home full-time. I realized very quickly that my temporary work station at my dining room table was going to cause major back and neck problems long-term if I didn't change something quickly. The two sessions I had with Vicky helped me create the best ergonomic work
