Gabi found Ascend in 2023 and was immediately drawn to the challenge and innate connection that classical Pilates delivered. What began as a personal practice grew into a deep appreciation for the method, leading her to complete a 750-hour Comprehensive Classical Pilates certification under Christie Wang. 

With a background in competitive sports, Gabi has always valued strength and athleticism. Pilates deepened that appreciation through its emphasis on precision, control, and the connection of the body as a whole. 

Gabi enjoys working with all bodies and appreciates the individuality each person brings. Her teaching is precise, intentional, and challenging. She thoughtfully builds each session around the body in front of her, using the classical system to create purposeful progression, improve movement, and deepen connection. She believes the most effective work is not simply the hardest, but the work that challenges each client in the way they need. 

Gabi continues to deepen her understanding of the method through ongoing mentorship with Christie Wang and workshops with leading Classical Pilates teachers. She values remaining a student of the work and continually evolving the way she teaches. 

In addition to teaching, Gabi serves as Ascend’s Studio Manager and is grateful to be part of the community that first introduced her to the method.
