Kaia was first introduced to Pilates in college. As a Division I collegiate Pole Vaulter, she has dealt with many injuries, including breaking her back twice. Kaia discovered the many benefits of doing Pilates, including how it strengthened and lengthened all of her muscles, to both better her physically and to prevent further, or new, injuries.

After Kaia graduated from the University of Vermont with a Bachelors Degree in Early American History and a minor in Special Topics in Healthcare and Medicine, she moved to South Carolina. Once there, Kaia started to use Pilates as cross training for surfing and rediscovered her passion for Pilates. Wanting to share her love of Pilates with others and advance her own knowledge, she enrolled in the Ab & Flow Pilates Training Program. This was a comprehensive 500+ hour certification in the Reformer, Tower, Mat, Chair, Barrel, Cadillac, and Spine Corrector. The certification also covered pregnancy and how to safely work with clients with back injuries. During the course of the program, Kaia intensified her love of Pilates and for teaching. Upon receiving her certification she began teaching full time at Ab & Flow, as well as teaching online mat classes privately.

Recently Kaia moved to Scarborough, Maine with her boyfriend, Nate, and Australian Shepherd puppy, Wonky! When she’s not teaching Pilates you can find Kaia hiking, surfing, or exploring the beaches. She is excited to share her knowledge of Pilates with all of her clients! Kaia wants to leave her clients feeling stronger, happier, and more confident in their abilities.
