Meet Angelique

My Pilates journey began after searching for a way to heal my chronic anxiety and panic attacks after losing my brother at twenty-one. Instead of medication, I turned to exercise and nutrition to help me get my life and health back on track. This shift ignited my purpose; to help others heal through movement & an all-encompassed approach to wellness. My mission is to help clients feel ALIVE by incorporating mind, body, and spirit into our practice.

After graduating with a degree in Kinesiology, I became a personal trainer at a local gym, but a hip injury forced me to look for a new way to stay fit. Pilates quickly became the new love of my fitness life. I began teaching mat and reformer to my clients, eventually earning my certification through an extensive two-year training with STOTT Pilates.

With a desire to bring more Pilates to Humboldt County, I opened Vida Sana Studio in 2019, which has grown into a thriving community of kind, compassionate & high-level teachers and the best students we could ask for. As the studio continues to evolve, so does my teaching practice. In 2023 I completed a two-year Classical Pilates Mastery program led by Karen Frischmann, learning classical Pilates to provide the highest instruction level to my clients.

Join me & the Vida Sana family for a transformative Pilates and community experience like no other.
