1. ✦Frances has been my pilates instructor for almost a year.  She is an exceptional instructor who is always encouraging and a  pleasure to work with.  Her directions are clear and always accompanied by an explanation of what I am working toward. I feel that I have gained considerable strength and made excellent progress  working with Frances.

2. ✦Frances was the only person who got me to move my body beyond walking.  The yoga was perfect for me since it didn't require sweat and made my body much stronger.  We worked together for a year and I miss our routine.  She was always prompt, willing to go the limit to please, loyal and had a real interest in toning one's body.  I felt relaxed and comfortable with whatever I could and could not do. Frances adjusted the exercises for me and I never got too sore to continue.  When I return -- you are the trainer, for sure!

4. ✦ How much I enjoyed her cooking class -- such a great set up so everyone could participate, and how she made a point of making sure each person had something to do to contribute to the meal -- all in such a gentle, unassuming manner -- I loved it!! I have also made the bean salad and kanten at home since then!

6. ✦I have been taking Frances’ pilates mat class regularly now for months. Her attention to the details of the movement is so appreciated. Frances has the ability to communicate just how to get to those tiny muscles that can completely transform an exercise and one’s relationship to their body. Despite the number of people in the class, Frances always makes sure that we get individual attention. She will demonstrate the exercise but is always watching our form. Her personality is always welcoming and she moves the class at a brisk pace. Personally I have had major injuries and have come to depend upon her classes to progress my rehabilitation. You will be guaranteed a challenging and engaging workout!

7. ✦I'd been a yoga student on and off for some years, always at the beginner level, but was never really motivated until I went to a Yogilates class where Frances was the instructor.  From the first class I took with her, she was able to put me at ease and inspire a love for yoga.  Frances has a wonderful calm manner with her students, but yet she challenged us.  The best thing she did for me personally was to make sure I practiced in a correct way and undid bad habits.  The three years I spent in her class were an excellent experience, and I was sorry she had to leave to give birth to her first child.  To this day, whenever I see other students not being corrected in yoga class, I think of how lucky I was to have had Frances as a yoga teacher."
