"I have been taking group classes at Healthy Changes Pilates for 5 years and during the pandemic started woking with Erika individually. Working with her has been truly a wonderful experience. She brings incredible knowledge, competence and depth of experience to each session, which I am greatly appreciative of. She is quick to assess strengths and weaknesses and works with the areas that are in need of strengthening while continuing to strengthen the entire core. I tell her she is a miracle worker as she knows how to work around an injury and has me feeling better at the end of a session. Through working with her I have come to better understand how my body muscles function, have gained strength and flexibility, and I feel and look fit! I am so glad to have the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend Erika and Healthy Changes Pilates to any pilates enthusiast! -Sally"

"Having taken Pilates in San Francisco and Honolulu, I never thought I would find the best Pilates instructor in the suburbs of Boston while on a trip! I’ve been taking Pilates for the past 7 months after my physical therapist suggested it to strengthen my core to relieve lower back pain caused by years of sitting at a desk with bad posture. It was difficult finding an instructor teaching a session that is both challenging and emphasized proper form. I was either powering through a challenging Pilates session while performing the exercises with horrendous form, or performing with good form on unchallenging exercises. Enter Erika from Healthy Changes Pilates. She is by far the best Pilates teacher I have worked with. She has been helping me build a strong Pilates foundation - from thoracic breathing, to spine articulation, to the principle of opposition, to pelvis tilt, to ribcage placement, and so on. With this approach the simplest exercises have become so challenging and it is very rewarding to know that I am performing these exercises with proper form. Erika has also been helping me correct my posture and body alignment. I never thought something as simply as knowing how to stand and sit with proper posture could make such a huge difference in how my body feels! People of Reading, you are so lucky to have her in your town and able to work with her all year long! I wish I could!"

"I have been going to Healthy Changes Pilates since Feb 2012. Initially I went to help build my core after a C-Section. Can not tell how much of a difference it made. I continued to work with the instructors through my second pregnancy and postpartum. Pilates truly made my recovery and ability to bounce back so much easier. Erika and her team of instructors really work with each client. Even though you are in a class of 2-6 (depending on the class/day), you get individual attention each time. I love to switch the apparatus each time for a different approach (reformer, tower and chair)... Erika and her team (Lisa, Lea, Elaine and Karen) are wonderful! The clientele are so welcoming and Erika's new studio is so nice. Can't say enough except... give it a try!"
