More about Marcia ...
Where are you from? How long have you been a Minnesotan?
I was born in Massachusetts, and have lived all over! My dad was in the Navy when I was a kid, and gave me nomadic tendencies. I've been a Minnesotan since 2005.
Got family? Tell us a little about them!
Married and have two stepchildren. I'm a middle sister, an aunt, and fur-mom to a dog and cat.
How did you find Pilates?
I started with Pilates at age 12 as a required conditioning class in my ballet school. I kept it up after I stopped dancing, and, well, kept doing it!
Why did you decide to teach Pilates?
I joke that it's because I'd done it for so long somebody ought to pay me, but truly it's to empower people to their mind, body, and health. I am very passionate about helping people help themselves and feel good.
Nature lover or city dweller?
I like to visit cities for short periods, but am only at home in nature.
Party girl or homebody?
Super homebody. Just shy of a hermit, perhaps, without intervention from friends.
What’s your favorite TV show(s)?
I'm a huge nerd - documentaries and anime.
Favorite book(s)?
If someone wrote it, I'll probably read it. I'm a voracious reader.
