As a Fitness and Taekwondo instructor for 30 years, I have experienced numerous injuries from competitions and repeated training, including ACL tears, shoulder impingements, chronic pain in my coccyx, and ankle pain. However, my life changed after learning Pilates through Polestar Pilates. Through their course and training, I gained the knowledge and skills to understand my issues and conduct my own rehabilitation. As a result, most of my injuries have healed, and I can move freely without pain. I am now able to return to my martial arts and sports training.

​​

Polestar Pilates is renowned for its holistic approach, integrating the latest research and best practices in orthopedics, sports medicine, and movement science. Polestar also emphasizes community, allowing me to connect with educators and mentors around the world who have provided invaluable support—both physically and mentally.

​

I am now proud to serve as an Educator, Mentor, and Ambassador on the faculty of Polestar Pilates U.S., our headquarters. It has been a truly humbling and enriching experience to learn and grow alongside such remarkable expertise.

​​

Collaborating closely with our founder, Dr. Brent Anderson; Shelly Power, Vice President of International Education at Polestar Pilates; and Christi Idavoy, Senior Polestar Pilates Educator, has been profoundly enriching. They have become my personal mentors. I also want to extend my gratitude to our Polestar Asia Director, Dawnna Wayburne, who has been a guiding light in my Pilates journey and continues to provide invaluable guidance in my life.​​​​​​
