Monique’s love of health and fitness is not limited to her profession. A competitive triathlete since 1994, her superior performances have earned her top age-group rankings for many years. Monique has completed five Ironman distance triathlons including three times at the World Championships in Kona. Her dedication to her clients and peers has gained her the reputation of being top in her field.

Kelly’s background in dance and her passion for movement led her to commit herself to a career in health and wellness. Drawn to the philosophy of the STOTT PILATES®method, Kelly began her training in 2001, became a Certified Instructor in 2004 and an Instructor Trainer for Merrithew™ specializing in STOTT PILATES® in 2004; CORE™Athletic Conditioning & Performance Training™ in 2012; and totalbarre in 2015.

Candice began her journey in the fitness industry in 1968 teaching water exercise and then went on to teach yoga and other fitness modalities. She started her Pilates training with the Physical Mind Institute in 1989 and continued her education with Stott Pilates. Candice holds many certifications through nationally recognized fitness organizations and specializes in post rehab and athletic training.

Pamela‘s journey to Pilates came via dance, yoga, snowboarding and sailboat racing. She launched her performing career with Children’s Ballet Theater of Newport Beach and her professional coaching career teaching swimming, sailing and windsurfing. She continued training elite competitive junior sailors through college while achieving All-American recognition for 3 years racing on the Nationally ranked Tulane University sailing team.

Her eye for fine details and improvisational skills were developed in the dozen years she served as dance captain for her fellow cast members of “A Tap Dance Christmas Carol.” She regularly coached youth and adult tappers to prepare them for stage.
After decades of hard playing she adopted a more balanced movement practice incorporating the deep inner resilience that comes from regular Pilates training. She thinks reformer repertoire is especially nourishing and helps build the strength and stamina for the transformative mat work.

A lifelong love of Maui led her to choose a yoga teacher training program in Ha’ikū. The opportunity to teach quickly followed and Pam and her husband David moved from Seattle. Eventually they escaped the lush confines of the north shore and now they warm their bones close to FMM where you can find them cardio jumping twice a week. Please come and join the fun!

Caroline is a 3rd generation Classical Pilates Teacher, Gyrokinesis ® teacher, licensed massage therapist, and cranial-sacral therapist. In 2009, she completed a 675+ hour training in Comprehensive Classical Pilates. This training opened the gates to become a somatic therapist. This means she work from the holistic perspective of mind-body connection and emphasizes the therapeutic benefits of concentrated movement practice in conjunction with manual therapy.

Her career has included a constellation of cultural, psychological, and therapeutic theory, hands-on practice, functional movement and rehabilitation, trauma informed somatic-emotional release, anatomy and physiology, and teaching.

She has worked in multiple cities across the USA as well as internationally in the Dutch-Caribbean. From these experiences, she learned that people of all different cultures and walks of life share a common need for physical and energetic support to help them lead healthy and fulfilling lives. No matter our differences, we all have a body and that uniquely binds the human story.
