SoCal Beach Pilates

Molly grew up in Raleigh, NC. She fell in love with dance and left home to attend high school at the North Carolina School of the Arts. She stayed there for college and graduated in 2007 with a BFA in dance. From there she performed on Holland America Cruise Line's ms Noordam and traveled the world for a year. Once back on dry land she decided she wanted to fulfill her dream of dancing for Cirque du Soleil. She packed up and moved to Las Vegas, NV. It was only a matter of time before she was on stage performing for "LOVE" at the Mirage and "Viva Elvis" at Aria.

Pilates and dance have gone hand in hand since Joseph Pilates met George Balanchine back in 1926 (but thats a whole different story) Molly had taken lots of Pilates classes throughout her training but it wasn't until she met Juliet Clingan in 2009 that her eyes were opened to the world of classical Pilates. A hip injury took her out of shows for 8 months in 2013 and instead of surgery, she opted to rehab and up her Pilates routine. It became clear that Pilates was the answer. It not only helped her injury but it helped balance out her uneven body from years and years of dance. This sparked a thirst to learn more about Pilates and how it could help others.

She enrolled in a 600hr certification program at The Pilates Firm Las Vegas under the direction of Juliet Mahon Clingan (Romana certified) in July 2014. Her mentors include Mari Winsor, Kathi Ross-Nash, Chris Robinson, and Trish Garland. She completed the program in August 2015 with over 750 hours of education. Molly's bubbly personality and contagious energy will get you excited, keep you engaged, and of course keep you safe during your Pilates lesson.

Molly has taught at The Pilates Firm Las Vegas, Equinox at Brookfield Place in NYC, and Grasshopper Pilates in NYC. She's taught everyone from dancers to models to grandparents to teenagers. She's worked with clients young, old, injured, and pregnant. She genuinely loves what she does and it shows. Molly believes that being able to help people feel better in their own body is the greatest gift you can offer.

Molly recently got married to her husband, Ben in April 2016. They love living in Laguna Beach and have one daughter, Roxy an adorable French bulldog puppy.
