Hi, I’m Kerstin! I have lived in Los Angeles since 2015 after graduating from the University of Michigan. I was an athlete growing, mainly focusing on ski racing, which required intense strength training and cross-training. Growing up in a high-level sport taught me so much about fitness and health in general, and led me to want to discover more about the body and what really worked for my own physical needs as I transitioned out of competing and into the real world. In my early 20’s I realized I had become too obsessed with working out and too restrictive with my diet. When I came to terms with the fact that this was not a sustainable way of living, I did everything I could to heal my relationship with exercise, food and my body. That is when I discovered classical pilates and intuitive eating and I have been so much happier since. It became my goal to share what healed me with the world and that is how I started Pilates by Kerstin!

Beyond the fitness side of my life, I have two adorable doodles, love to go to the beach and surf, travel, get outside in general, pottery, cooking, dinner with friends, and simply relaxing.
