What people are saying

  • “I first met Portia in 2008 when she introduced me to Pilates and then I went through Balanced Body instructor training with her. I immediately loved her skill, humor, and personality. As a physical therapist, I was also very impressed with her knowledge of the body and the healing power of movement. Portia's mentoring and teaching style is accessible, accepting, and inclusive. I have watched her expertly instruct beginners to advanced clients and her ability to transition between these two skill levels is incomparable. I still think back to her cueing when I am working with clients or working out myself. Without exaggeration, learning Pilates from Portia changed my life! As a physical therapist and women's wellness coach, I highly recommend her!”

  • "I have been working with Portia for a long time, and she always prepares thoroughly, so students are satisfied. And she has excellent communication skills and responsibility in class, which enhances the learning ability of the students learning. She has traveled all over the world lecturing, so she has the ability to cross language barriers even more. Lectures at POT and our center were very good, and the online lectures were also very satisfactory. I am very happy to see more opportunities open up in the future."
