After years of being deeply passionate about fitness—and tired of grinding away in the corporate world for someone else—I decided life is too short to play it safe. So, I took the leap and started Elevated Soul.

For years, I was dedicated to classical Pilates and completely addicted to SoulCycle. It was my escape, my energy, my therapy. Then 2020 happened. Like so many of us, my routine was flipped upside down. The lack of love for my Peloton—mixed with everything happening in the world—made my workouts take a back seat. And that’s when I felt it. The difference in my body, my mind, and my energy.

A few years later, I suffered from severe back issues, and I knew I never wanted to feel that kind of pain again. Instead of letting it control me, I took charge. I committed to getting stronger, moving with intention, and rebuilding myself from the inside out. That journey led me to become a certified Lagree instructor, and from there, the dream of Elevated Soul was born.

Elevated Soul is a fusion of Pilates-inspired reformer movements and traditional strength training exercises. It’s designed to challenge, sculpt, and empower you—no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

Helping people feel strong, confident, and empowered is what lights me up. If I could do this every single day for the rest of my life, it would never feel like work. At Elevated Soul, everyone is welcome—no matter your starting point.

Elevated Soul is for everyone—come as you are, grow as you go. This is a space for growth, strength, and community. Support, sweat, and good vibes only. We don’t just talk about supporting each other—we actually do it. Come move with us, and let my team and I show you what Elevated Soul is all about!
