Hi, I’m Rebecca! I split my time between working as the manager here at the Pilates Studio and running my own organizing business called Rebecca Gets You Organized(because yes- I really do love a good tidy space) When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outside soaking up the sunshine, or spending time with my husband, daughter and our two cats.
I look forward to helping you at the Pilates Studio getting your questions answered on all things Pilates, scheduling and being a part of your journey!
