A lifelong dancer, Meaghan was first introduced to Pilates at a young age as a complement to her dance training. During college she began practicing Pilates more intensely, and found that many of her existing injuries and imbalances improved greatly. The more she learned about the method the more she was convinced of its merits, and she knew then that she wanted Pilates to be part of her career. After receiving a BFA in Dance from The Ohio State University, she moved to New York in 2008. In addition to teaching dance classes, Meaghan completed her comprehensive certification at Power Pilates, where she has been teaching since. Meaghan loves to work with a wide range of clients, and loves seeing how the Pilates method helps every person in a unique way, giving them each what they need. In 2020, Meaghan became a Teacher Trainer with Power Pilates, and is excited to share the art of teaching with people all over the world.
