Experienced professionals. Personalized care.

FOUNDER / NATIONALLY CERTIFIED PILATES TEACHER

I’m Niki, the heart behind The Edge Pilates and the person who’ll likely be cueing your breath and celebrating your progress in the clinic.

My journey with movement began long before I discovered Pilates: from competitive sports growing up to nearly 30 years of experience in fitness, wellness, and business ownership, I’ve always been driven by a deep belief in the power of intentional movement.

Ten years ago, I took my first Pilates class—and something clicked. The practice was effective without being exhausting. Smart, not just sweaty. It left me feeling stronger, not shattered. I knew then that Pilates had something most workouts didn’t: staying power.

After years of teaching group classes, I saw how many people weren’t accessing the full benefits of Pilates because they needed more personalized attention. That insight became the spark behind The Edge Pilates: a space built for real connection, tailored instruction, and long-term results.

COMPREHENSIVELY TRAINED PILATES TEACHER

Hi, I’m Maife, a passionate Pilates Professional dedicated to helping people achieve their wellness goals through mindful movement. I first discovered Pilates in 1998, and since then, I’ve been exploring how it can benefit the body—whether for injury recovery, mobility, or overall fitness.

My fitness journey began in 1989 when I started teaching group fitness, and by 1992, I was a certified personal trainer, helping individuals reach their health and fitness goals.

Over the years, I’ve developed a special passion for using Pilates to help others manage pain, recover from injury, and improve well-being. Movement has been my own path to healing, and it’s my mission to help others find the same relief and vitality.

With a focus on functional movement and neuromuscular connections, I work with clients of all backgrounds—whether they’re recovering from an injury, enhancing performance, or seeking a more sustainable fitness routine.

Injury and Special Populations Specialist / Former Private Studio Owner

NATIONALLY CERTIFIED PILATES TEACHER

As a former athlete, I spent years searching for a form of movement that supported my body as it changed through physical limitations and injuries. My journey into Pilates began on the mat, and when I took my first Reformer class in 2017, I felt I had finally found the most sustainable movement for my body.

After experiencing how transformative the Pilates method could be, teaching became a natural extension of sharing something I loved with others. 

I want clients to develop meaningful connections within their bodies, along with the strength, mobility, and confidence this method can create. As an instructor, I emphasize precision, body awareness, and safe, effective progression so each person can move with intention and feel empowered in their personal practice.
