Her path began as a fitness instructor and evolved into becoming a respected authority in health and wellness, grounded in both experience and continual learning. In 1991, Conni discovered Pilates and immediately recognized its transformative power. She became one of the first 300 certified Pilates instructors in the country and has since accumulated thousands of hours of teaching and continuing education. Pilates remains at the heart of her work—used to empower the body through strength, alignment, breath, and mindful movement. Conni’s career has taken her around the world.

As Fitness Director for the Golden Door Spa at Sea program aboard the Cunard Lines, she traveled globally—sharing her passion for fitness while experiencing diverse cultures and landscapes. (And yes, Sit-and-Be-Fit was one of her favorite classes to teach.) She has led wellness retreats in remarkable locations, from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to the sun-soaked beaches of Tulum and Punta Mita, Mexico, as well as Italy and Costa Rica. These experiences continue to shape her integrative approach—blending movement, nourishment, and lifestyle into a holistic vision of well-being. Based in Bend, Oregon since 1997, Conni has been an integral part of the local fitness and wellness community and has been with Club Pilates Bend since its doors first opened seven years ago. Her classes welcome individuals of all levels, offering thoughtful guidance, encouragement, and a deep respect for where each body is in its journey. As a certified health coach, Conni is passionate about supporting others in living their healthiest and happiest lives.
