Move From the Inside Out
My Pilates sessions are more than just a workout. They're a conversation between your breath, your body, and your nervous system.
Each virtual session blends functional movement with somatic awareness, so you're building real strength while also tuning into what your body actually needs.
We work on core stability, postural strength, mobility, breath, and releasing the tension that accumulates from real life. Sessions are held on Zoom and tailored entirely to you — whether you're post-burnout, navigating perimenopause, or simply want a more mindful approach to movement.
what others are saying
“I have been working with Eileen for over 8 years, and she continues to inspire me and make me look forward to doing Pilates with her. It’s such an important form of exercise for all ages. Eileen puts me through everything from cardio to toning and stretching. And I love how she works, her practice is so individualized.”
— Courteney Cox: Actress
“Eileen has been my private pilates instructor, both in person and virtually, for the last 6 years. She’s an exceptional teacher, striking the right balance of pushing me and ensuring that no two sessions are ever the same. As someone who has suffered from several injuries, Eileen is always attentive to my body’s needs, and to boot, she is one of the nicest humans I've ever met. Can't recommend her enough!!”
— Sean Brecker: CFO, Ōura (+ Headspace)
“Eileen helped us open our most popular studio in Santa Monica, and she was one of the most popular instructors for her fun and engaging classes. She was also a favorite for private sessions, and there was always a waitlist to see Eileen, in thanks to her nurturing nature, along with her challenging and fun sessions.”

Coaching That Starts With the Body
Somatic coaching is body-based support that helps you move through the places where you feel stuck, by starting with what your body already knows.
Using integrative somatic tools grounded in both science and holistic practices, we work with what you're feeling physically to help you build awareness, resilience, and steadiness from the inside out. Together we'll draw from a wide range of techniques — breath, movement, body awareness, nervous system resourcing, and more — tailored entirely to what you need.
This is especially helpful for things like chronic stress or burnout, a harsh inner critic, people-pleasing patterns, nervous system dysregulation, and the kind of low-grade overwhelm that's hard to name but impossible to ignore.
This is not clinical therapy, and it's not designed for acute trauma or crisis. But if you're living in a body shaped by years of subtle stress, over-giving, or running on empty, this work is for you.
body of work
(the course)
A course built from three disciplines, for one very specific problem.
I created this course because I couldn't find it anywhere and I needed it. I'm a Pilates instructor, a somatic practitioner, and a working writer. That combination turned out to matter more than I expected.
Here's what the research shows: the longer you sit, the more your body quietly reorganizes itself around that position. Hip flexors shorten. The glutes stop firing. The mid-back rounds. These aren't just posture quirks. They're neuromuscular patterns that become structural over time.
But there's a second layer most movement classes miss. Sustained mental focus, the kind that comes with writing, deep work, or staring at a screen, activates the same sympathetic nervous system pathways as physical stress. Your body releases the same stress hormones whether you're facing a deadline or actual danger. It braces. And it stays braced, long after you've closed the laptop.
Body of Work addresses both things at once. Pilates reactivates what sitting has put to sleep: the deep core, the glutes, the posterior chain, the breath. The somatic work addresses what's happening underneath: the chronic tension, the shallow breathing, the nervous system that never quite got the signal it was safe to let go. Together they do something neither can do alone.
This cOURSE is for you if:
You sit for hours and your body is telling you about it.
You want to feel genuinely better in the body you already have.
You want your body to actually support the work you do every day.
