Meet Our Team
Jessica Fritz-Peters
OWNER AND FOUNDER
As a 25+ year seasoned teacher, Jessica has been inspiring healthy movement for all bodies and she leads her team to ensure you achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself.
Jessica believes that movement can unlock the secrets of a pain-free, adventurous, robust life, full of strength, balance, and play. She has developed a unique brand of teaching centering the idea that sometimes less is more, you CAN learn how your body works, and you ARE your body's best expert.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to share the experience of Pilates with others. The best part of my day is knowing that our clients feel better in their bodies and walk out of the studio with a renewed sense of strength, confidence and overall well-being.”
Caterina Baker
INSTRUCTOR
Caterina has a rich movement-based history via her dance training and performance experiences. A BFA in Dance Performance from The Hartt School, and studies with acclaimed dance doctors in Physical Therapy, she is thrilled to use Pilates training as an avenue to assist others in reaching their full movement potential. Currently, Caterina is dancing professionally with Ekklesia Contemporary Ballet.
“I am always amazed to see how much awareness and organization people are able to find in their bodies when given the proper time and space to do so. Pilates opens up new possibilities every day, and I am still finding new ways to broaden my scope of movement in my own practice.”
Zoe Simons
INSTRUCTOR
Zoe completed the Pilates Defined Comprehensive Teacher Training program and is thrilled to be sharing her love of movement with you! A lifelong mover and currently a professional dancer with New England Ballet Theatre, Zoe deeply understands the value of healthy movement. Her dedication to a Pilates practice for over 10 years has provided support and strength to her body, along with a fascination to learn more about how all bodies move.
“I love being able to share Pilates and the experiences of movement because I know firsthand how good it feels. There is so much noise and distraction in our daily lives, and being able to create a space for someone else to let that all go, be fully present, and connect with their mind and body is amazing!”
Marta Garbayo
After 20 years as a dedicated Pilates student, and recently completing the Pilates Defined Teacher Training program Marta is excited to share her passion for this movement practice as an instructor. For Marta, the experience of a practice that combines moving her body and engaging her mind in a very personalized and focused way provides benefits beyond the studio. She especially loves being able to understand and feel how to use all the tiny lesser known muscles.
“Aside from the benefits of core strength, flexibility, and balance, what has kept me engaged in this practice for such a long time has been the positive impact it continues to have on my mental health. During the hour or two of Pilates my brain is so focused on the sequencing and engaging all the right parts of my body that it is virtually impossible to think about the never ending to-do list or any of those other demands.”

Sarah Richardson
INSTRUCTOR
Sarah's love of Pilates began 20 years ago with a nasty ankle injury. Inspired by the quiet effectiveness of the method and how it helped her rehab and recover, she completed a comprehensive certification with STOTT Pilates. With over a decade of teaching experience, her passion for learning has taken her from Pilates studios and university classrooms to a wide range of movement disciplines. Sarah's belief that movement doesn’t have to hurt to be effective offers a broad perspective, tailoring each session to the unique person in front of her.
“My own Pilates practice grounds me in movement, and I love passing that on to my clients. I especially love the moment when they realize how movement can help them feel good!”
Alice Martinez
INSTRUCTOR
A nurse for over 30 years and still working full-time, Alice’s passion for her personal Pilates practice turned into a professional position after completing the Pilates Defined Teacher Training program. Alice appreciates how much Pilates has improved her flexibility, coordination and overall strength and continues to have dedicated practice to support her second passion, dancing! After noticing that her balance was being challenged and navigating aches and pains in her legs and feet Alice is grateful to Pilates for improving her coordination and strength to protect me from falls.
“My ankles are stronger and joint pain has decreased. I can dance longer and feel great! Pilates is my ageless secret!” But it's a secret that she loves to share with her clients.
