STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructor
Physical Therapist

When movement is supported by proper alignment, breath, and strength, it has the power to improve both performance and everyday life.

About Chris

Chris is a licensed physical therapist with more than 20 years of experience in orthopedic outpatient care. Her passion for helping people move better led her to discover Pilates as a rehabilitation tool, and she pursued certification to gain a deeper understanding of its principles and applications. Since then, Pilates has become an integral part of her approach to improving movement quality, strength, and overall function.

With a strong foundation in both physical therapy and Pilates, Chris appreciates the method’s focus on posture, breathing, and integrated movement. She enjoys helping clients apply these principles to enhance performance and mechanics in a wide range of activities, including running, swimming, golf, disc golf, ice skating, dance, and everyday life. Her clinical expertise allows her to create thoughtful, individualized programs that support each client’s goals while promoting long-term movement health.

Outside of her professional work, Chris enjoys running, gardening, and performing with Music City Ice Theater, a local figure skating team. She is passionate about helping people move with greater confidence, efficiency, and enjoyment at every stage of life.
