In 2023, she completed the 450-hour comprehensive training program at Drexel Pilates where she learned the classical biomechanics of Pilates. The Drexel Pilates program is under the direction of Jennifer Morley who was trained by Romana Kryzanowska. She continues to learn and grow in her Pilates practice with a weekly private session with Gina Nostrant and continuing education classes and workshops at Drexel Pilates.

Abby participated in the very first Body Precision Teacher Training Program, graduating in 2001 and completing over 700 hours. That same year, she received her Master’s degree in Dance Movement Therapy at Drexel University. Abby worked at Body Precision until she moved to Delaware and opened her own business, Bodies in Balance Pilates Studio, which became a successful studio that was even voted “Best of Delaware”.

Abby moved back to Pennsylvania in 2006, in order to work towards her second Master’s degree in Education, which she completed in 2012 at Holy Family University. 

Abby’s passion for helping others and her education, have made her able to use Pilates, something that saved her own body, to help others become strong, balanced, pain free, and pursue what Joseph Pilates called the “prerequisite to happiness”: physical fitness.
