Since Katrin was a small child growing up in Germany, she planned on following her parents’ footsteps and become a teacher. Life took a turn while she worked as an au-pair in Washington, DC - she met her future husband Justin, who was raised in Charlotte County, FL. She put her plans of becoming a teacher on hold, got a bachelors and masters degree in International Business, and moved to the US. After moving to Punta Gorda in 2005 she kept looking for a way to fulfill her passion of teaching. Once Katrin took her first Pilates session she was hooked. She became a fully STOTT-certified teacher and has been teaching for 6 years. Katrin loves working with clients 1:1 or in a group setting. Teaching is her passion and she wants each student to get the most out of their Pilates session. It is the best compliment for her when a clients says: I am in less pain or I think about my posture throughout the day, you made me aware of certain things.
