Celeste has been my Pilates reformer instructor for over a year, which may not sound like much until you consider that I took group reformer classes 5 times a week. Not only do I have more personal client/instructor experience with Celeste than any other client, I also got to observe her interact with dozens and dozens of other clients. She never failed to remember a client’s name, or any injuries or special needs the client had. Celeste believes, as do I, that Pilates should be restorative, IF done accurately. Therefore, she focuses on precision, doing one precise and perfect movement, rather than many halfhearted ones. The goal is for this precision to eventually become second nature, and carry over into everyday life. Celeste got her instructor training and certifications from EHS Pilates Institute which has been developing the country’s most talented Pilates professionals for over 15 years. In the year that she has been my instructor, Celeste has also taken several weekend long workshops honing her craft especially as it relates to strengthening the pelvic floor. She is so invested in the health and well being of her clients, that when I recently had a medical condition that interfered with my ability to do Pilates, she met with my physical therapist and together they modified my routines to allow me to return to class and improve my condition in the process. Celeste recently relocated from San Francisco to Los Angeles and regrettably for me I am now on a mission to find a replacement instructor. I miss her already.

Celeste is 100% the best massage therapist I have had the pleasure to experience(and believe me I have had a lot of massages). She seems to magically know exactly how much pressure I need and where I need it. I have also taken a number of private and group Pilates classes with her. She is a natural teacher and makes it fun. There is no pressure or competitiveness, you can work at your own pace. She is very human and approachable which makes for a fun and relaxed atmosphere. On top of being highly skilled in massage and Pilates she is also a very caring and intuitive person. I always feel at ease with her and you can sense how much she genuinely cares about her clients and that she really enjoys her work. She has a rare talent and its hard for me to go to any other massage therapists now. I cannot recommend her enough.
