She studied intensely under her mentors Kimberly and Katherine Corp, owners of the world renowned Pilates on Fifth.

Danielle also holds multiple certifications through Pre/Post Natal Pilates, Special Populations and Injuries, and Anatomy and Biomechanics.

Danielle has found her life long passion to teach Pilates professionally to be incredibly rewarding and credits her early athletic childhood and love of gymnastics in helping her to find this path. Danielle created the specific "4 week mat workshop" for beginners at her studio after deciding that all her new students should be learning Pilates through a structured workshop to build up proper strength and understanding prior to attending group mat classes. Through sharing her knowledge with other professionals in the field, her concept has now become the most widely used format in teaching Beginner Pilates around the country. Danielle has taught over 1500 Beginner students the "4 week mat workshop" over the years. Many of which are now intermediate and advanced Pilates devotees.
