I can't recommend Esther enough for prenatal Pilates! Throughout my pregnancy, she has taken such wonderful care of me during our weekly sessions, always tailoring each one to my needs and adjusting based on how my body is feeling that day. She's helped me stay active, strong, and flexible — and I've had no back pain at all, which I'm sure is thanks to her! I also love her verbal cues — they're clear, thoughtful, and easy to follow. She uses lovely imagery like "the feeling of hugging your baby," which makes each movement feel meaningful and helps me feel connected to my little one. If you're looking for a caring, knowledgeable instructor for prenatal Pilates, Esther is the one. Thank you for taking such good care of me and my baby! 💕 I'm already looking forward to continuing my Pilates journey with her — postnatal and beyond!
I have been seeing Esther weekly for pre natal Pilates throughout my pregnancy journey which has helped me reduce aches and pains that I’ve experienced as well as improve strength and mobility. She has also taught me in exercises I can do at home during the different stages of pregnancy to help prepare for a natural birth. Looking forward to coming back for post natal Pilates. Also bonus points for a calm and beautiful studio environment.
I have been seeing Esther for several years, and she has been instrumental in everything from my sciatica recovery to pilates for marathon training. She is incredibly professional and provides easy-to-follow home exercises that help reinforce the techniques we work on in the studio. Highly recommend!
Pilates sessions with Esther has greatly helped my recovery after ACL injury. Her expertise in Pilates-based rehabilitation targeted my specific weaknesses, and significantly improved both my overall muscle strength and knee mobility. Beyond the physical progress, her guidance and encouragement rebuilt the confidence I needed to overcome fear and safely get back on the slopes. I highly recommend Esther to anyone navigating injury recovery or looking to regain peak performance.
The Well is a bright and welcoming space. Esther is a patient and methodical teacher, guiding me through exercises to increase strength and mobility in my back and hips.
