Lavinia is no ordinary pilates instructor - it's almost not fair to call her that because she brings so much more to the table from having been a dancer earlier on. She has a sensitivity and detail-orientation that are rare. I've only had one session and already I have so many skillful tools to use that are tailored to my specific issues. I'm so happy to work with her!

In 1997 I was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth Neurological Disorder and told by the neurology team at Oregon Health Sciences University that I would be in a wheelchair within two years.Almost 20 years later I have traveled to Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa and I am NOT in a wheelchair!!! Not bad for a lady of 63.Lavinia Magliocco and Pilates have inspired and enabled me to develop not only the physical skills but also the confidence necessary to be ambulatory.Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) is an inherited neurology disorder which affects the nerves causing muscles to contract and atrophy. For me this has manifested in significant weakness of the feet, lower legs, hands and joint instability.After this diagnosis I was BLESSED to find Lavinia. She gives me the tools to work with my body to develop core strength, stability, flexibility and balance. She reads my body and knows what is best for me in each session. She has enhanced my proprioception and balance while challenging me in a variety of planes of movement.She has modified exercises, developed a variety of devices I can use to assist me in performing the exercises and given me explicit exercises to work on at home. She has assisted me through the recovery of many injuries and surgeries.Most importantly Lavinia has provided me with the tools to live a life of FREEDOM, INDEPENDENCE and JOY!I recommend her highly!!!

I have been working with Lavinia on a regular basis for more than a year. and a half She has helped me enormously in so many ways. Lavinia has an impressive understanding of human anatomy. She also has the unique ability to look at my body and know what areas need attention. She has helped me gain greater mobility, ease, strength and balance in my body. I feel so much lighter and freer in my body after a session with her. I also feel more calm and centered. She is very respectful, professional, upbeat and encouraging. I am grateful for Lavinia's caring and healing ministrations. I highly recommend her to you.
