ONLINE & IN-STUDIO
one-on-one sessions
Online sessions can include a video recording via Zoom if requested

I offer privates both online and in the studio. They both have their benefits. In the studio, we get to use Pilates equipment, which facilitatates good movement patterns. Being live with someone is wonderful in many ways, plus I can use my hands to feel the tissue and guide your movement. If you want homework, I can video the exercises right on your phone.

I have done a lot of online teaching which has worked beautifully. I can see my client very well, and it's been fun to incorporate people's personal props into their exercises. Plus, if we work on Zoom, the session can be recorded for your later use.

I've always enjoyed working one-on-one to focus on specific issues or simply provide focused attention. I like to bring in the range of my training, including yoga, STOTT PILATES®, somatic exercise, myofascial release & fascial movement, as well as therapeutic yoga and pilates to create an experience unique to each person's needs. . Let me know how you're feeling on the given day, and I can tailor a workout specifically for you.

​I am a true believer in Pilates, yoga, somatics, and understanding the fascial network is extremely valuable in rehabilitating injuries. I am part of the newly created Therapeutic Pilates Team at Pacific Northwest Pilates. My continuing studies and many rehabilitation and therapeutic courses (see training info) are all brought into my work with clients.

I am constantly finding ways to refine and enhance my teaching. In that spirit, I take new courses each year to expand my knowledge base and teaching skills.

Fees for Private & Semi-Private Sessions

My private sessions are run through Pacific NW PIlates, and are 55 minutes long. The sessions are set as "Specialized" pricing (you have an issue/condition that requires specialized knowledge) or a higher-level "Therapeutic Pilates" pricing. That level is for those people who have multiple issues they are managing, and must be very careful when embarking on an exercise program. If you're not sure which category you would be in, you can get more information at the PNWP website by CLICKING HERE.

feedback from clients . . .

I have been doing private Pilates sessions weekly with Sue for nearly four years. Not only is she a great instructor, but her passion for rehabilitating old injuries has helped me immensely. At 65 I now have freedom of movement that I haven't had in thirty years. --GD

I have been working with Sue on a weekly basis to overcome some serious body issues.  While we mainly do Somatics, Sue’s extensive knowledge across multiple disciplines allows her to call upon different techniques to help overcome problem areas. Not many people are trained in Somatics and Sue’s expertise in this area has made all the difference in my ability to retrain my body, mind and movements.

Along with her deep technical knowledge, Sue is incredibly intuitive.  This allows her to quickly grasp the likely problem and move toward movement solutions.  Sue has been so kind and caring as we have worked through long-standing physical issues (some stemming from emotional issues), helping me to “unblock” and move forward.  

She is a truly empathetic person who sincerely cares about what’s best for you.  I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have been able to work with her.   --JK
