Beth M

Instructor

Aspire Wellness Studio

After years of experiencing a recurring ankle injury, Beth had surgery.  Unfortunately, it caused other complications resulting in chronic pain. Looking to doctors to "fix" her so she could get back to normal, she began to realize that she wasn't going to get the results she hoped.  She was prescribed multiple medications, causing additional problems, and they didn't reduce her pain.  She began to seek alternatives.  She had done mat Pilates on DVD and had liked using a Reformer at physical therapy so she searched for a local studio.  She began taking classes at Aspire in 2021 and never stopped! She started out shaky, stiff and with little range of motion, but with consistent practice, Pilates made her stronger, more flexible, improved her endurance, and helped her reduce her pain. In addition to the physical benefits, she also feel connected, loved and supported by the Aspire community. Encouraged by the Aspire community, she enrolled at Fullerton College and is currently pursuing her Pilates Teacher Training Certificate.
