During an extensive career in advertising, Becky decided to add Pilates to her busy fitness and work schedule. Her Pilates practice seemed like a perfect second act after getting married and having a baby. She loved how Pilates made her feel both mentally and physically. 

After practicing Pilates for several years, she decided to make a major career shift and become a certified teacher through Pilates Sports Center in Louisville, Ky. The unfortunate timing in the pandemic slowed down her process to graduate but she persevered and is now happily teaching both private and semi-private sessions.
