Welcome
Hi, I’m Leanne
I’ve been teaching women and men how to get out of pain, build strength and feel comfortable in their bodies for 20 years. My core mission is to help people move through challenging life transitions with more ease and grace and to remind them that their peak years are always in their future. I draw from a background in Pilates, yoga, competitive sports, therapeutic practices, spiritual teachings and somatic coaching to support people to get out of pain, get strong and feel more powerful as they navigate the shifts of aging and life.
Real Clients
When I started working with Leanne six years ago, I had no idea how much stronger and healthier I could look and feel. Her ability to guide me is uncanny. She sees and intuits everything I need to keep my body strong. Working with her has been one of the great gifts that I given myself. I highly recommend her.

Before I met Leanne, I was unable to walk without a cane and I was in constant pain from back to toes. With Leanne’s help, I do not suffer every day and I’m almost “normal” most days. Leanne has taught me to cope with bad days and recover quickly from flareups. She’s extremely good at figuring out what is going on in my body (even over Zoom!) and she always know’s what’s going to be helpful.

From the founder
Make Your Own Opportunities
I’ve worked with hundred’s of people in the last 20 years helping them to get out of pain, get strong and keep it together through ski season, surgeries and challenging phases in life. When I started, I focused on teaching exercises. Thankfully, the Pilates system is tried and true and if people just follow the standard protocol, they will get stronger, more flexible, more focused and more coordinated. These are some of the core principles that “doing Pilates” promises.
As I mature in my practice and in life, I’ve also learned to observe not only what people are doing but how they do it in their particular way. Pointing out how their innate sensibilities contribute to their empowerment and physical strength and watching people become their own coach and healer has been the juice that keeps me going. As time goes on, integrating movement with motivational support has become a hallmark of how I coach. I’ve witnessed hundreds of people learn to trust themselves more as they grow stronger. I will never grow tired of helping people learn beyond the exercise as they integrate and expand their thinking and feeling gifts, dream bigger, and create opportunities that weren’t there before.
Learning to live powerfully, comfortably and confidently in our amazing human body is a journey I hope everyone chooses to take!
Cheers,
Leanne Aho
