Core Pilates co-founder, Leslie made the dramatic career change from an accounting background to body working and helping people physically, after she moved to Alaska 16 years ago. She owned her own business as a Licensed Massage Therapist in Anchorage and slowly started to add training in STOTT Pilates. She has graduated from the Rolf® Institute of Structural Integration, just to add to her many hands on skills.  She decided a long time ago that body work and helping people was where her passions lie. Her extensive knowledge in anatomy and physiology made adding Pilates to her repertoire an easy choice. She truly believes that Pilates is hands down the best exercise modality to compliment any athlete, no matter what level. Leslie is a STOTT Certified Pilates Instructor. Her extensive training includes Mat; Essential, Intermediate and Advance, Reformer; Essential, Intermediate and Advance, Cadillac, Chairs & Barrels, Mini Stability Ball, Prenatal, Postnatal, Jump Board Training, Injuries Special Population, Zumba, Booty Barre and Xtend Barre.
