Eileen began her career instructing exercise by obtaining a Master’s degree of Physical Therapy in 1995 from Medical College of Virginia. A year after she graduated, she was hit by a car while running and had to begin practicing what she was preaching. Yoga became part of her lifestyle. She continued to attend annual education classes and eventually pursued a Certification in Hand and Upper Quarter Rehabilitation through Drexel University. In 2010, Eileen broke her back, pelvis and ribs while skydiving. Through excellent physical therapy, yoga, and core stabilization exercises as well as an SI Belt, she was able to avoid surgery and began a slow process of healing.

In 2014, she pursued her RYT-200 and Pilates instructor rating through ACE in Cadillac, Reformer, Mat, Tower and Chair Pilates. After adding Pilates into her fitness regimen she was able to eliminate even anti-inflammatory medications to stay pain free.

Eileen most recently attended Balanced Body, Inc. Pilates On Tour London for MOTR-Instructor Training, which is a portable device combining the core training from Pilates with aerobic condition and strengthening, functional exercising through a pulley system, and the balance and tissue release of a foam roller. She also attended a Gait Control course, which focused on how even small muscle imbalances can affect your daily walking pattern, forming gait deviations and possibly pain and dysfunction.
