Amelia’s love for movement began at age 4 when she started ballet lessons at the Colorado Ballet Academy. The Denver native always knew she wanted to be a professional ballet dancer. At 14, she left home to attend the Kirov Academy of Ballet’s (KAB) year round boarding school in Washington, D.C. While at KAB, she had a back injury and started practicing Pilates to help rehabilitate her injury. She’s been practicing Pilates ever since! Amelia graduated from KAB’s high school at 16 and was off to U.C. Irvine to study dance and sports medicine/kinesiology. While at UCI, she worked at the school's sports medicine clinic and nearby physical therapy clinics. Amelia became a certified Pilates instructor during her senior year of college. After graduating magna cum laude at 20, Amelia joined the Nevada Ballet Theater (NBT) in Las Vegas where she danced for the company and taught Pilates. She left NBT to join the Las Vegas cast of Phantom of the Opera where she performed for six years while continuing to teach Pilates.  She became a certified barre instructor in 2013, giving her the opportunity to fuse her passion for ballet and Pilates. Amelia moved to Marin in 2014 and started teaching Pilates and barre at several local studios including Pilates Tiburon. In 2018, Amelia became the 3rd owner of Pilates Tiburon and she is thrilled to continue to share her passion for movement with the community and help clients reach their health, wellness and fitness goals!
