Meet Sandra

As the owner of Core Integrity, my background as a former high-level athlete and ballet dancer provides me with a deep understanding of the importance of proper movement and alignment in achieving peak physical performance and preventing injury.

15 years ago, I was recommended to try Pilates to strengthen my core and low back issues after my last  pregnancy that  led to a sustained healthy lifestyle that has impacted my overall well-being. Six years ago, I made the bold choice to become a Pilates instructor, driven by my desire to help people live their best lives. By sharing my passion and knowledge for Pilates, I wanted to impact the lives of many individuals by helping them improve their physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. 

In addition to my Pilates training, I also have additional certifications and training in areas such as anatomy, biomechanics, active aging and post-rehabilitation which further enhances my ability to help clients improve their movement and function. This specialized knowledge and expertise allows me to provide a unique and highly effective approach to Pilates instruction, making me stand out in the field.

My decision to become a Pilates instructor is a true testament to my dedication to helping others, and my willingness to invest my time and energy into a career that is focused on positively impacting the lives of those around me.

  • "After six months of classes with Sandra, I'm hooked on her teaching. She is so knowledgeable about the body and biomechanics that I have complete confidence and trust in her. She is aware of each person in a class and will make individual adjustments during the exercises to suit each person's particular needs and problems. I now feel that I can face my older years with the confidence that I will maintain my strength and abilities. It's a great feeling. Thank you, Sandra!"

    — Madeleine

  • "I started seeing Sandra to see if Pilates would help with improving core strength due to back pain from having twins. Sandra is highly knowledgeable about biomechanics and addressing muscle imbalances. The sessions have made a noticeable difference with my back pain and posture. Pilates is also a very enjoyable form of exercise and Sandra is great at changing up the exercises and providing just the right amount of challenge so you're never bored. The studio is also beautiful and well set up, with lots of natural light."

    — Andrea

  • "My first impression on entering the studio is that it's open, bright, clean, and unpretentious. My instructor, Sandra, is extremely knowledgeable about what she does. After my first class I already had a greater sense of ease in my body. I look forward to continuing my sessions."

    — Heather

  • "I am a 78 year old and I have never exercised on a regular basis. I have been attending Pilates Classes under the direction of Sandra at Core Integrity. In 3 months she has improved my flexibility, endurance and boosted my confidence. Sandra’s professional and reassuring approach has made such a great difference in my daily activities."

    — Arlene

  • "I can’t say enough about how amazing Sandra is! She explains the movements very clearly, and she adapts the exercises according to your abilities and needs. Her ability to notice and adjust for even small imbalances is really impressive. I’ve experienced huge improvements in my range of motion and injury recovery since I’ve been working with her. I’m so glad that I found her."

    — Lisa

  • "Sandra is one of the most attentive and helpful instructors ever. She is patient and kind. I highly recommend her for anyone experiencing pain or issues"

    — Alishia
