Classically trained as a professional ballerina, Cheryl was previously a senior soloist for the Cincinnati Ballet Company. A stress fracture in her fibula while dancing required physical therapy, which included Pilates. She fell in love with the practice—so much that she wanted to share it with others.

Cheryl is constantly inspired by her clients. One 75-year-old client could not stand up straight or hold her head up before she started training with Cheryl. Within two years of a consistent Pilates practice, her posture was nearly perfect. Seeing the transformation of her clients is a satisfaction that is only surpassed by the experience of raising her young son, Liam. He has taught her patience and a level of love that she could not have understood without him.
