Leanne Lefferts
Leanne is a caring and invested Pilates and movement instructor. She is a National Certified Pilates Teacher and Balance Body Comprehensive Certified Pilates Instructor, as well as a certified Neurosensory Specialist and Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist. Leanne’s personal movement journey began early in life playing sports then through sailing at the Naval Academy and serving in the Navy. Her movement focus shifted to Pilates and a whole-body healing approach when traditional medicine and movement fell short in managing her chronic pain. Her health journey gives her a unique sense on how the body moves and heals as a system.
In addition to possessing a solid foundation in Pilates, Leanne has multifaceted training to strengthen the body and aid healing through movement. A few of the areas she has studied are fascia and pain science, movement for trauma, swelling protocols, shoulder/overhead injuries, foot health and visceral and neural mobility. She continues to pursue higher education that will benefit all of her clients.
The definitive transformation in her clients’ overall health, their increased energy, significant decrease in pain, and elevation of their sport with consistent practice and focus is why Leanne loves her work. She is in awe of how all bodies can find strength, energy and healing through Pilates, integrated movement and mobility. Leanne is excited to share her knowledge and experience with others so they may find positive changes in their health, body, and life.
