Hello, I'm Emilio

15+ years experience in Pilates and Holistic Health

Over 2,000 hours professional training

Comprehensive Certification through Balanced Body University

I offer customized pilates and wellness sessions for people who want to live more fully and have a great time in the process. This is not a standard pilates or body work experience.  I meet my clients where they are at and cater to your individual needs on that particular day. The focus is entirely on you: what do you want for yourself right now? How can we build on your strengths and offer support where it is needed? How can I assist you in living your best life right now?

I get to know you and give you a unique session catered to your unique needs on the day you see me. I’ve worked with students of all ages and body types. I love getting to know my clients — we have a great time together while making strides towards your goals. 

You're in good hands

As soon as people step inside they tend to breathe easier. Beautiful artwork, a zen garden, lush plants, and records on vinyl. This isn’t your average Pilates & Wellness Studio- it’s a true sanctuary!

The space itself is healing

Whether you’re coming to get a great Pilates workout, or unwinding on the treatment table with Polarity Therapy, I aim to be super attentive, compassionate and open-minded. My goal is to listen and provide skillful support wherever I can to help you move toward what you’re wanting for yourself.

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Great, as always. Since I started working with Emilio, I've noticed more strength, flexibility, and endurance. I can walk longer and experience less pain. Studio Emilio is such a serene, welcoming space, and Emilio is incredibly attentive from the moment I arrive to the moment I leave. I’ve gained more confidence in my movement and a greater awareness of how I move. He always evaluates what’s going on and adjusts things to suit my needs. Every session feels different, like he’s in tune with exactly what’s needed for the next step in my journey toward better health. Emilio is patient, encouraging, and truly cares about his clients."
Linda

"Since starting pilates at Studio Emilio I have noticed a significant increase in body flexibility, balance and strength. Emile adapts the routines mindful of my osteoporosis. I have full confidence in his skill, knowledge and caring."

Gillian

"I always feel better after working with Emilio. He meets me exactly where I’m at each time and adjusts our sessions accordingly. His support has helped me continue healing after physical trauma, improve my strength and flexibility, and better understand my body. What stands out most is how Emilio creates a calm, positive space and offers so much knowledge and kindness. He is someone you can trust, and working with him has been a grounding and deeply helpful experience."
