I discovered my passion for physical therapy after overcoming a debilitating shoulder injury in my twenties. Inspired by my own recovery, I left my graduate program in Statistics to pursue a career in Physical Therapy at the University of Florida. Pilates became a pivotal part of my journey when traditional methods fell short in treating a subsequent back injury during PT school.

Certified by the Pilates Method Alliance in 2003, I integrated Pilates into my practice and witnessed profound improvements in my patients' recovery. After earning my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2010, I founded a Pilates studio in Huntsville focusing on injury recovery and chronic conditions.

Now based in Chattanooga, I continue to deepen my expertise as a Polestar Pilates Rehab Practitioner, dedicated to helping others achieve lasting health and wellness.

I've been going to Mary for a LONG time now, and she has helped me with my issues more than any medication or doctor ever has. I was concerned about needing knee surgery, but her Pilates instruction has corrected my problem, and I am no longer considering surgery. Thank you, Mary!

 - Sheryl L.

So thankful to have found Mary. She has taken the time to identify what is causing my issues and pain, and how to fix that in a way that more typical physical therapy providers can't. I've made more progress in 3 sessions with Mary than 5 weeks with regular PT.

- Katie W.

Before moving to Chattanooga in December, 2019, I practiced Classical Pilates for 11 years in SC. I discovered Mary during the pandemic. She is a very knowledgeable instructor and is a Physical Therapist and a Polestar Pilates Rehab Practitioner. In my first session, she focused on proper form and alignment. It was an excellent first session. I have scheduled again.
