It was through her own recovery from serious injuries resulting from a car accident that Holly discovered the rehabilitative power of Pilates and functional movement. In 2008, Holly opened her practice in a clinical setting where she was able to apply her Pilates philosophy and education, and to create highly effective movement and therapeutic exercise programs for those suffering from a wide range of conditions in every stage of life. Her collaborative approach with other Practitioners ensures the highest level of care for all clients.

Holly carries a Mastery Level Accreditation as a Certified Movement & Rehabilitation Specialist, as well as being Teacher Training Faculty in California for Body Harmonics®, an Internationally-recognized Pilates & Movement Institute that specializes in Pilates as a rehabilitative method. In addition, Holly is committed to the advancement of Pilates as a rehabilitative therapy, and is the primary author of research studies focusing on the use of Pilates as a Therapeutic treatment modality. Her most recent study is published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, Volume 46:5, and was presented at the 2014 American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Annual Conference in Orlando, FL. In 2014, Holly also presented research at the PMA Annual Conference in San Diego on the effect of Pilates in the treatment of Diastasis Recti.
