Professional Education
Her Pilates practice began in Denver, CO, in 1995, 1 year after her second car accident, and her formal Pilates education began six months later. Her extensive Pilates education includes an in-depth, decade-long study with Pilates elder Ron Fletcher who certified her directly. Additionally, she certified with Master Teacher Barbara Huttner during a full-time two-year comprehensive teacher training program. She is certified through NPCP (National Pilates Certification Program), and a graduate of the Essential Motion Inc., Post-Rehabilitation Program a year-long intensive that qualifies her to teach Pilates post-rehabilitation.
She continues to be a student of movement through yearly continuing education and dedicated daily practice.
Since 2014 Geneviève has studied under Dr. Deepak Chopra and his team of educators at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, now Chopra Global. Trained as a Perfect Health Lifestyle Educator by Dr. Deepak Chopra and other leading Ayurvedic experts, she is a certified Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant and a Chopra Certified Health Coach. She is deeply passionate about helping others heal and live better through Ayurveda- the science of life, and through the tools of mind-body medicine.
