Owner & Instructor

Monica's Pilates journey began through physical therapy in 2021 and has since evolved into a passion for living a stronger, more mindful life. As a mother of three, she's learned the importance of balancing life, family, and personal health. Monica is a Balanced Body Certified instructor, and is dedicated to helping others cultivate that same balance—empowering them to be more body-aware and resilient while navigating the demands of everyday life. Continuous growth is at the heart of her practice, both for herself and those she guides.

Originally from Richmond, Virginia, John arrived in Wenatchee in August 2025 from Washington, DC, where he taught reformer pilates - beginner and intermediate - at District Pilates for just over two years. He trained at Balanced Body and has sustained regular practice to stay fit(ish), stave off entropy, and tend to a slipped disc and attendant sciatica - conditions that, like many others, brought him to pilates in the first place. What he likes most about teaching is helping clients realize they can do more than they imagined they could do and building comfort and familiarity with the intimidating contraption that is the reformer. His favorite move is short spine and his least favorite is anything involving legs at 90 degrees.

McKenzie is a movement instructor in the PNW with training in Pilates, yoga, and dance. She specializes in injury prevention and sports conditioning and enjoys creating a welcoming environment for all of her students. McKenzie also teaches at Central Washington University, where she trains dancers and theater artists. She holds an MFA in Dance with a focus in injury rehabilitation for dancers and is certified through BASI Pilates and Pilates Academy International. When she’s not teaching, McKenzie can often be found working behind the scenes with Rogue Assembly Theater Company, which she runs with her husband, Phil. Lately, she’s been learning the art of woodworking and pottery, so her family can expect handmade cutting boards and a growing collection of lovingly crafted objects that may or may not technically qualify as bowls.
