About Nina

Nina discovered Pilates while seeking relief from sciatica, and what began as rehabilitation quickly became a lasting passion. Through consistent practice, she experienced how intentional movement can restore strength and stability. Nina has practiced dental hygiene for 31 years and has taught dental hygiene at Bellingham Technical College for the past 16 years. She recently completed her Doctorate of Education in Health Professions Education and brings a strong background in healthcare, anatomy, and teaching to her work as a Pilates instructor. As a lifelong learner, she values thoughtful progression and attention to detail in every class. Most importantly, she believes that pilates is for every body! Outside the studio, Nina has been married for 31 years and is a proud mom of three adult children. She loves long walks and hikes, outdoor adventuring, reading, binge-watching a good series, enjoying a great cup of coffee, and spending time with her two dogs.
