Meet Ace.

I created North End Pilates to offer a more thoughtful approach to movement, one that doesn’t push harder, but listens more carefully.

My Background

I hold a degree in Kinesiology and Sport Nutrition from the University of Puget Sound — my work has always been rooted in how the body actually functions, not just how it looks or performs.

Over 14 years of practice in Pilates, PT, and human movement — and years as a certified Metabolic Specialist — I’ve worked with hundreds of bodies navigating pain, depletion, stress and disconnection and building toward greater strength, endurance, mobility, flexibility, balance and postural ease.

Over time, I kept noticing that when the nervous system lacks the ability to regulate, the body struggles to heal and rebuild. No matter how much effort goes into it—

That realization changed everything about how I work.

What I Do Now

My practice sits at the intersection of classical Pilates, somatic movement education, and nervous system regulation. Sessions may include Pilates apparatus work, practitioner-assisted stretch, or Biofield Regulation — depending on what your body needs most in that moment.

Every Session is built around regulating the nervous system, restoring the body, and rebuilding from there.

To your health,

ACE

Owner, North End Pilates - Tacoma, Wa

What people are saying.

  • "Great instruction! My first time with Ace, she was an expert at explaining the moves and proper form. I am immunocomprimised and she wore a mask during my session, making me feel comfortable and safe!"

    — Mallory C.

  • "Ace gives really great mind/body instruction. I am 6 months pregnant and she was able to modify everything and has great equipment to help make me feel comfortable moving with a baby bump!""

    — Kim S.

  • "I did Pilates in the past, had a very good instructor in VA. I moved to Wa state and needed someone who could tailor to my very specific needs. I found Ace and so glad I did. Her attention to detail is exactly what I need!
