Always seeking opportunities to learn, grow, and expand the scope of her studios’ services, Christa has pursued several advanced continuing education certifications in the areas of functional movement screening, corrective exercise, manual therapy and myofascial release techniques. She is a Level 2 SFMA practitioner, John F. Barnes Myofascial Release therapist and Level 1 Kinesiotaping specialist. Additionally, with her extensive knowledge of sports programming, Christa is certified in golf-specific training and has served as staff physical therapist for numerous PGA and LPGA golf tournaments.
In the Studios
Christa owns, operates, and teaches at Pilates in the Grove, which serves the Coconut Grove and South Miami communities with two premier South Florida locations. Her studios set the benchmark in Pilates instruction and physical therapy interventions, with most of the instructors holding advanced degrees and boasting well-rounded backgrounds in physical therapy, occupational therapy, dance movement therapy and nutrition. The studios also adhere to a low student-teacher ratio, and the services the studios offer put them well ahead of fitness trends including Physical Therapy, Pilates for Rehabilitation, Pilates for Athletes and NeuroMuscular Reprogramming and Re-education.
In the Community
Outside of the studio, Christa, a wife and mom to two boys, donates her time and talent to a number of non-profit groups, including the Barnyard of Coconut Grove Cares, Breakthrough Miami and the GirlKind Project, which inspires and empowers young women. She also provides Pilates-based strengthening and injury prevention programming to elementary schools, high school sports teams and local athletic events.
