about me//
 

Hi, I’m Celeste—a Pilates and GYROTONIC® instructor with a deep background in rehabilitative fitness, therapeutic massage, and physical therapy modalities.

​

I’ve been in my Pilates era since the ‘90s—back when I got my first car, and was catching Beck, Weezer and Nirvana up-close in gritty LA coffeehouses. Around that same time, my world was rocked by Pilates. From the very first session, my body didn’t just need it—it craved it. I knew right then it would be a lifelong practice. High-vibe music and feel-good moves have carried me ever since.

​

Movement has always been in my DNA, actually. I grew up dancing, doing yoga, and inventing my own floor routines before I even knew what Pilates was. Then, as a teenage dance major at SMC, I discovered Classical Pilates—and something clicked. That spark led me down a path of therapeutic exercise, holistic health, and somatic healing. I later trained with an incredible team at EHS in San Francisco—an experience I still look back on as one of the happiest times in my life.

​

When I was introduced to the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® by Master Trainer Sher Borrell, I had another one of those “wow!” moments. My body responded instantly, and I knew this exercise art would become another lifelong practice. I went on to study extensively and traveled to Germany the next year to earn my certification. Over my career, I’ve added GYROTONIC® Level 2, Specialized Equipment, Group Fitness, TRX®, Advanced Massage Therapy, PT Assistance, and a Yoga-based Pelvic Floor specialization to my toolkit.

​

So—what are your goals? Whether you’re looking to recover from an injury, move with more ease, or simply feel stronger in your body, I’m here for it. With my background in dance, physical therapy, and hands-on healing, I work confidently with all body types and levels of experience. I love helping people connect with their bodies, discover joy in movement, and feel better—inside and out.

​

My passion for free-flowing, expressive movement is rooted in a life filled with creativity, travel, art, music, and the beauty of nature. I bring that same energy into every session, and I hope to share that spirit with you—joyfully, playfully, and with purpose.
