Annie brings years of experience teaching dance to students from age 5 through college, and she’s thrilled to now bring that same passion to the barre as a Barre certified instructor!

She holds a degree in Psychology with a minor in Health Studies from Fairfield University, and earned her Master’s in Occupational Therapy from Drexel University. As a soon-to-be certified Occupational Therapist, Annie is committed to leading classes that not only promote functional movement and mental health, but also empower clients to move with purpose and joy in everyday life. Her ultimate goal is to help you feel good, move well, and have fun while breaking a sweat!
