“I’ve been working with Mimi for almost four years, and she is so much more than an instructor—she’s a healer. The way she intuitively understands body mechanics is like no one I’ve ever worked with. When doctors, PTs, and masseuses couldn’t help my chronic pain, Mimi did. She sees details that no one else will catch. The studio itself is extremely private, pristine, and welcoming. There’s a reformer, cadillac, wunda chair, and yoga wall. There is a bathroom, filtered drinking water, and ac/heating available. Mimi truly has a gift, and we her students are tremendously lucky it’s one she openhandedly shares.”
“My background is in dance and I am now a therapeutic bodyworker. I have taken yoga and Pilates classes over the years, but no one has come anywhere near the quality of teaching that Mimi offers. She has a deep and fun understanding of the body and brings out the very best in each of her students. And, I am so fortunate to be one of them. With grace and ease, she inspires me to find deeper places to connect to inside of myself - places that I had previously felt were out of reach. Even after all of these years of training, Mimi always finds something new and surprising to share with me.
As a practitioner, I send my patients to Mimi because she perfectly enhances my work with her expertise. She is strong, clear, and motivating, and will take any student at any level to new heights that they never imagined they could achieve!”
“You can continually discover something new and learn more about your ever-changing body. I like Mimi’s ‘whol-istic’ approach which will often incorporate the Pilates discipline with other body work methods she has studied. It is an added benefit which helps to stimulate and balance ones body, mind and spirit. I love the imagery that Mimi will communicate to help you ‘get it’.”
“She works generously with every individual at every level — young, old, novice, experienced or with physical limitations.”
“Her enthusiasm and passion for life exist in her classes...and her dedication in wanting to help people comes thru in the clearest and most honest of ways.”
“When you take her Pilates classes she watches you like a hawk, correcting you when you slip back into old habits. Her way of teaching is sensible, compassionate and fun.”
“I always walk out of there feeling two inches taller...My body more aligned...More empowered than with any other work I am doing.”
“At 77 I feel that my biggest regret is not having Mimi’s physical insights and practices as a youth.”
“Pilates has made sense of my athleticism. I now understand the how and why of my movements. When I run or swim or spin/bike, I know how to control, correct, open up my musculature. I can go ‘inside’ my work out. For someone who has been an athlete for most of her life, this is pure joy. I thank Mimi for creating this state of mind and body. With Mimi, growth never ends.”
“Mimi’s work at BodyArt Pilates is “Transformational.”
I am a dancer and tap dance teacher. I have always worked out and thought I was in good shape, but there was a part of me that knew something was missing. I had wanted to do Pilates for years and had been searching for the right place. The moment I opened the gate and entered Mimi’s BodyArt Pilates, saw her exquisite patio and studio, felt the sea breeze, and breathed in the peace and beauty of the vortex she created, I knew I was home.
Then the work began...the real work, connecting the breath to every movement of the body, correcting alignment, building true strength and health. Mimi’s knowledge of every part of the human anatomy, her knowledge of Dance, Yoga, Nutrition and Meditation and what she puts forth as a teacher is extraordinary. She is a true healer and a healer by movement.
I have been with Mimi for more than two years now. I have gained fluidity as a dancer, my body is healthy from eating the right food, and I have gained tremendous strength and endurance from her teachings of breathing, yoga, and pilates. I have greater vision from using the body meditations she teaches. I am honored to be her student and absorb her endless knowledge. If you are looking for “transformation” in your, body, mind, soul and life, this is the place to be”
