PILATES ACHIEVED for Women - Canton Township (MI)

5 /5 Dorothee Kurian: As a lifelong Equestrian, Helen understands exactly what I need to improve my core strength and overall fitness and suppleness. I find my riding skills have improved tremendously since I have started weekly private sessions with Helen. She addresses each of my goals and increases the challenges week by week. I have gained enough core strength and balance to help me compete successfully on a fairly green horse in dressage while we also have fun jumping small Cross Country courses. I owe my increased confidence and balance as a rider to Helen’s program! Photo credit 2nd image Kelly Beck

5 /5 Rand: I started Pilates because I was searching for something sustainable and beneficial for both body and mind. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Helen’s studio. From day one, Helen has been knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely invested in my progress. Over the past 10 months, I’ve learned so much from her. She takes the time to understand your goals and needs, tailoring each session accordingly while still pushing you to improve. Every class is thoughtfully designed to be both accommodating and challenging, and her focus on technique and progression is incredibly motivating. She also has the best equipment and she designs the classes so that you get to try different exercises every time. What’s surprised me most about Pilates is the powerful mind-body connection it fosters. Helen has guided me through that journey with kindness, patience, and precision—never rushing the process, but always encouraging growth. Beyond her expertise, Helen is warm, compassionate, and truly cares about her clients. Her studio has become my happy place—a space where I leave every session feeling strong, centered, and energized. I can’t recommend her enough and encourage every woman I know to give it a try.

5 /5 Kim Elliston: Ok this is gonna be a long one, but worth the read I promise.... I thought I knew what pilates was and to be honest I didnt think it was going to be for me. I heard Helen was great at what she does and I needed to make a change in my life physically and mentally so I gave it a try. I wasnt just suprised I was truly amazed with the entire experience and now I go twice a week! Pilates is exactly what I needed in my life and I think that is only 50% of it, Helen is the other 50%. She listens to my physical needs and has an intuition with knowledge to clearly direct and teach me that is growing my limitations in a way I could never do on my own or in a class. The one on one with her has transformed the way I think of a workout. When I leave I feel charged and ready to do anything, I feel my core muscles working in a way they havent before and my mind is clear and focused because she also focuses heavily on breathing techniques that I love! Her attention to form and patience to go at my pace is a gift. Thank you Helen for coming into my life at such a perfect time. If you are thinking you need a change like I did please give this a try with Helen!
