Barbara, a native of the Netherlands, was introduced to Pilates years ago due to back problems (spondylolysis) of her own. It has helped her to understand the importance of a strong core, perfect posture and correct movement.
Since then she has become a European certified Pilates Mat, Yoga and Aerobics instructor. After moving to the Bay Area she became a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM-CPT) personal trainer and a Balanced Body University Pilates instructor. She is fully certified in Mat Pilates, Reformer, Chair, Trapeze/Cadillac and Barrel. Barbara trains her clients using a mix of all styles with just one goal: having fun while working out!
"I am very fortunate to be able to work with clients and teach them about something I believe in and am passionate about."
