A practitioner of Pilates for 26 years, Leah received her certification in the Stott method in 2002 in New York City. She owned and operated a full-service Pilates studio in Scottsdale, Arizona until 2007 when she moved to Paris, TX. There she taught Pilates and dance for several years before exploring a different career path.

Originally from Los Angeles, California, Leah was raised in Arizona where she was first a competitive gymnast, then discovered the joy of dance. As a young adult, Leah returned to Los Angeles to pursue a professional dance career which she enjoyed for several years. She then moved back to Arizona and opened a dance studio for children, teaching ballet, jazz, and tap.

Leah moved to Austin in the summer of 2025 and is excited to reignite her teaching career with Shape Method, whose philosophy on teaching Pilates and business ownership greatly aligns with hers. She looks forward to sharing her knowledge of Pilates and helping her clients achieve their health and fitness goals.

Leah is currently a competitive international Latin ballroom dancer. When not practicing or teaching Pilates, you will find her dancing, spending time with her dogs and family, hiking, playing pickleball, and attending live music events in beautiful Austin, Texas!
