Physical Therapy & Fitness, done better.

Everybody deserves to heal better, feel strong, and to learn about their body.

We believe that much of what we do as medical, fitness, and wellness professionals is based in psychology and should largely be done holistically.

By treating the whole person, we can unlock a deeper level of care that maximizes your healing process, enhances overall wellness, and elevates your happiness.

Janae Morris

Pilates Instructor

  • As a former collegiate basketball player, movement and athleticism have always been a natural part of my life. My background in sports instilled in me a deep appreciation for strength, discipline, and functional fitness—all of which led me to fall in love with Pilates. I am comprehensively trained on all Pilates apparatus, including the Reformer, Mat, Ladder Barrel, Tower, Cadillac, and Spine Corrector.

    I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, and teaching has always been a passion of mine—whether in the classroom or the studio. I bring that same enthusiasm, patience, and commitment to learning into every class I teach.

    What I love most about Pilates is helping others reconnect with their bodies in a way that builds both strength and confidence. Whether you’re just beginning or deepening your practice, my goal is to create a supportive, challenging, and empowering environment in every session. My teaching style is athletic and motivating, with a strong focus on proper form, control, and breath.

    I believe Pilates isn’t just about physical movement—it’s a powerful tool for mental clarity, stress relief, and overall well-being. I’m passionate about guiding clients through that mind-body connection and helping them feel their best both inside and outside the studio. Pilates is for every body, and I’m here to meet you exactly where you are.
