Client Success Stories
Here’s what some of Laura's clients have to say…
Alyson Mitchell
"Doctors offered pain injections but no real solutions other than more surgery (for my total knee surgery and back pain due to progressive scoliosis)..."
Brenna Sahadeo
“I attended regular sessions in preparation for my wedding and throughout my pregnancy….and fell in love with Pilates at Laura’s studio."
Shane Jakober
"Within three months my lower back pain was gone. I owe my improvement to Laura's expert assessment and instruction."
David Howitt
"A few years ago my Neurosurgeon suggested that before opting for surgery I should first try doing Pilates to alleviate my severe back pain and although skeptical at first I have become a true convert. Laura's studio was the most highly recommended of the available studios and I can see why."
Amber Aeschebach
"I have made great strides in my strength, mobility, and flexibility since joining Lift Pilates."
