Amberly has always had a passion for science, but it wasn’t until she was getting her chemistry degree that she found her real passion was the science of movement. It took her 4 years in the chemistry industry to realize her true calling.

Amberly’s experience teaching in fitness began in 2013 when she was working for a Naval Laboratory in upstate New York. She started teaching in yoga and barre in New York before moving to the Washington, D.C. area to pursue a massage therapist license.

When Amberly met her military spouse and moved to Kansas with him, she was introduced to mat Pilates. Pilates intrigued her. When they relocated to Austin, Texas, Amberly started working as the general manager of Club Pilates. This is when she fell in love with Pilates on the equipment.

Having lifelong hypermobility issues, she found using the equipment felt right for her body. She finally felt centered and stabilized through an exercise program. In 2020, she started her comprehensive Pilates training with Balanced Body.

Amberly knew she wanted to take additional training surrounding the nervous system and movement due to her own experience with a neurological issue during her pregnancy, watching her mother experience a brain tumor, and research on the bio-psycho-social model of movement. As she was going through her comprehensive training, Amberly took additional courses in Pilates and yoga for neurological conditions, EDS (Ehlers Danlos syndrome), POTs (postural orthostatic tachycardia), BREATHE certification, Duke Health Coaching certification, and movement for trauma.

Amberly and her family arrived in Hendersonville September 2023. She looks forward to serving the community with her experience in Pilates.
