“Kim is a highly personable and knowledgeable Pilates instructor. Her unique teaching method provides an environment that is fun and safe. She readily explains the various moves being taught and what muscles are being targeted.”

“I was first introduced to Kim by my Rolfer. He suggested that I try Kim’s Pilates classes for injury rehab and injury prevention. That was almost 3 years ago and now I feel so grateful to have Kim’s Pilates classes as part of my regular exercise routine. Little did I know I would also gain an awesome massage therapist who is versed in Lymph Drainage Therapy. Having Kim as one of my practitioners allows me to pursue my rock climbing goals while giving my body what it needs to stay healthy and active.”

“I have been meaning to write to thank you for introducing and teaching me Pilates; it has changed my life. When I first came to class I was worried that it would be too hard and you made me feel comfortable and taught me with such skill that it became second nature for me. Now when I am going about my daily life I am able to hold in my core and it has made my entire body feel better.
Before I came to your classes I had a lot of troubles with daily pain in my back, neck and shoulders; since taking your classes that pain is gone. Like I said before, the knowledge that you shared with me in classes has changed my life. Not only is my pain gone but also my body looks so much better. I have lost weight and like to look at myself in the mirror now. Also, my energy has increased immensely from the workouts that I receive from taking your classes.”

“I’ve witnessed a lot of changes in myself over the 2 plus years I’ve been trained by Kim at Core Wisdom. I’ve always been an athlete, but as the years have gone by, it became clear that I was no longer able to coast on my natural abilities and previous training methods. My 3 principle activities are hiking, biking and my true passion skiing. I noticed that I needed something more in my training to keep me fit enough to perform at the levels I’ve been accustomed to. Hiking and particularly biking became an important off season activity to keep me in shape mentally and physically for the coming ski season.
A friend fortuitously told me that she had taken up Pilates with Kim and was very pleased with the results. I’d heard a lot of buzz on Pilates so I decided to give it a try. I was a little apprehensive as I’d never taken a group class or been trained by someone other than myself. The other issue was that I’d recently blown out my S.I. joint again. This recurring injury seemed to rear it’s ugly head every 2 years with increasing severity. I had been sidelined 6 weeks at that time with the looming possibility of not being able to go on my fantasy dream vacation of heli-skiing. Kim allayed my fears of aggravating my injury and was able to help me get more movement through my hip and rehabilitate my injury. I had no problem skiing 6 straight days and 140,000 vertical feet on the heli skiing trip.
I’m more fit, more confident, I look better, my core is much stronger, my flexibility is much greater, my risk of being injured has been greatly diminished and my recovery rate from the occasional injury has greatly accelerated. My hip went out last Christmas and I was only sidelined 10 days and could’ve skied a week after my injury. Not only am I able to perform at previous levels, but I’m able to increase my abilities and push my boundaries to new levels.
There are lots of accredited Pilates instructors out there. What sets Kim apart is her ability to disseminate information in a way that’s easy to comprehend and her ability to relate to others. She’s not just the person who trains me or saved my heli ski trip; she’s also a friend and trusted confidant. Thanks Kim, I’m very fortunate to have you in my life!”
