Bettina came to Pilates on her 50th birthday because the pain in her back and hips were taking a toll on her movement. She was limping while walking the dog, Zumba and dancing felt impossible and even sitting was difficult!

 She was amazed how much her pain subsided after the first few Pilates lessons. The mind-body awareness coupled with full body strengthening changed her entire body …. and life.

Bettina has completed over 500 hours of Traditional Pilates teacher training with renowned Pilates Teacher Hilary Opheim and is qualified for the National Pilates Certified Pilates Teacher exam (Fall 2024).  She is always looking for ways to expand her learning. 

She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Communications.  She is an award-winning novelist, editor, writing coach, and ghost writer. You can learn more about her writing at www.bettinarestrepo.com
