Meredith Davidson fell in love with Mat Pilates while pursuing her Master of Science in Speech- Language Pathology. She appreciates the stress relief and mind body connection that improves her ability to focus academically and clinically. Pilates also helped her prevent injuries while she participated in Latin and Swing Dance over the years on the east coast, and once again provided an outlet for stress while pursuing her law degree with a healthcare compliance and regulatory focus. Meredith has collaborated with interdisciplinary care teams to assist patients with neurodegenerative conditions. Meredith has a young daughter: the past pandemic was an opportunity to reevaluate her priorities and work/life balance. She started taking classes at a reformer-based Pilates studio to rejuvenate her fitness routine, and has not looked back since. She subsequently completed a 500-hour Comprehensive Training Certification at Club Pilates, where she excelled as an instructor, and completed a research project to assist patients with compromised bone density. She is also Barre Above Certified, which allows her to incorporate Functional Standing Movement into her teaching. Meredith is happy to be back home in New York after living in Los Angeles for a couple of years. She is currently pursuing continuing education through Balanced Body. She enjoys the energy and athleticism of teaching group classes, and customizing private sessions to help a diverse client base achieve their goals and level up their practice. She caddies for and golfs with her daughter, reads prolifically, and travels the globe in her free time.
