      After a thirty year career in emergency medicine, I have decided that I would like to promote wellness and promote health.  Not only have I  treated injury and illness which has been very rewarding, but pilates is my passion and opening up my first Pilates studio in Odessa, Florida allows me to promote health, exercise and fitness in a new and excitedly fun way.  BODYBAR PILATES Odessa is the first of three pilates studios that we are opening in the Wesley Chapel area of Florida.  It promotes a BAR-Balanced, Athletic and Real workup and philosophy while incorporating fast paced fun music and amazing instructors who keep you engaged using reformers and adjunctive equipment.  Joseph Pilates, states  "Everyone is the architect of their own happiness" and I feel the same way about my new profession as an Owner, Studio Manager of BODYBAR PILATES Odessa.  Pilates is for the injured, it is promotes both mental and physical health, and wellness and is for every age which is makes it so appealling.  Bodybar as a method is fast moving, with little time in between exercises to maximize a workout with cardio and concentrates every workout on legs, arms and the core of course!!  Your core health can not be underestimated as you age, as this type of excess weight leads to cardiac risk and increased mortality.  My studio will be part of the Odessa Community in Florida focusing on fundraising for Victims of Valor(focuses on women and preventing heart disease run by nurses), cancer prevention, suicide prevention and other causes so that we can continue to drive research for these medical illnesses. As a physician I am particularly interested in where medicine is moving and health will be associated with your antioxidant score.  I will be carrying a scanner which will give you an objective score helping my members and business clients see where their health focus needs to be.  My members will get this score for free as her thank you for joining and be part of the BAR community in my pilates studio.  So as Matt and Kamille like to say "embrace the shake" as well as " get comfortable being uncomfortable" as that is how real change and improvement takes place. To my husband Scott, children Jake and Ben, thanks for supporting my second dream you are the reason I get up in the morning and you are all the loves of my life!!
