Kelly began practicing Pilates after the birth of her first child.  Like so many others, she was amazed at just how wonderful and challenging Pilates could be.  Shortly after having her second child, she began the instructor certification process through Peak Pilates.  Kelly earned her Comprehensive Certification through Peak Pilates by completing Levels I, II, and III, and continuing education courses on the Chair and Barrel equipment.  She is also certified as a Personal Trainer by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and is a Certified Spinning Instructor.

Prior to becoming a mom and Pilates Instructor, Kelly was an All-American swimmer at the U.S. Naval Academy.  Following graduation and commission as an Officer in the U.S. Navy, Kelly spent ten years as a Naval Aviator.  As a C-2A (COD) pilot, she delivered mail and cargo to aircraft carriers deployed throughout the Western Pacific, Indian Ocean, and the Persian Gulf. She returned to Annapolis as a Swim Instructor at the Naval Academy, and has made Annapolis home for the past 8 years.

Kelly loves to work with a variety of clients, including athletes, pre and post-natal clients, and those with lower back pain.  Having been a member of each of these groups at various times, she understands the unique challenges each individual faces.  Kelly truly believes in the Pilates method and all that it has to offer.
