About Kim
Background & Education
At an early age, Kim developed an aptitude for fitness and daily movement through gymnastics, horseback riding, and being a three-sport athlete in high school. In college, she experimented with various types of workout methods and group fitness classes before finding her home inside studios. Kim was introduced to Pilates and barre by attending classes with her mom. After her first few classes, she felt the power of low impact exercise, particularly the elements of Pilates within barre. Kim completed her barre certification at North End Yoga in 2018. While barre brought Kim into studios, taking and teaching Pilates is her passion.
In 2019, she became certified in Classical Mat through PowerPilates, and went on to continue her comprehensive Pilates education with STOTT Pilates. Their renowned contemporary approach resonated with Kim to be able to share Pilates in a safe and functional way. In 2022, Kim began her STOTT training at Northeast Pilates Training Center in Beverly, Massachusetts, and completed her Level 1 Certification in 2024 while building her hours teaching, practicing and observing on the Pilates apparatus at Impact Pilates under STOTT Pilates Instructor Trainer Amanda Caven.
Kim now educates students and instructors alike through various workshop offerings in addition to her weekly group classes and private clients.
Ethos & Experience
Kim is comprehensively certified in STOTT Pilates® and has seven years of teaching experience. She’s dedicated hundreds of hours training on the Pilates apparatus towards her certification. Kim’s mission is for all students to leave class with a stronger understanding of their body.
Kim is known for her clear instruction and thoughtful programming. You will learn the ‘why’ within the ‘how’ of each exercise. Kim’s deep understanding of anatomy encourages students to think about how the breath, muscular systems, and body awareness align.
Kim’s favorite part of teaching is answering any question that begins with "Why?" or when a student makes a connection to how their particular body moves. She believes being a teacher means being a student first and always.
