Hi! I'm Markie.
I believe women deserve to be heard, understood, and truly healed.
I'm a Holistic Health Coach, Pilates Instructor, and studying to become a Functional Hormone Specialist, passionate about helping women heal through a root-cause approach. I hear the same frustrating narrative over and over: women's symptoms getting brushed off, being prescribed birth control to manage symptoms, being told things are "normal" when things are definitely not normal. The list goes on, and I'm here to create a new narrative.
Women are battling chronic disease and illness now more than ever, and they deserve real support with real results. That's where my work begins.
Both my Pilates practice and hormone work stem from the same core belief: our bodies hold incredible wisdom and healing potential. We just need to listen and provide the right tools for transformation.
I've been practicing Mat Pilates for over three years and earned my teaching certificate in 2024 through Trifecta Pilates. What started as YouTube classes in my living room grew into a love for this practice. I chose Mat Pilates because it's accessible, restorative, healing, challenging, and strengthening all at once. I became an instructor to offer that same transformative experience to other women.
You can find me doing my work at Craggy Collective in Black Mountain, North Carolina, a wellness collective offering an array of holistic health services. I'm currently offering a 12-week Mat Pilates program designed to take you from foundations to flourishing. Check out my Pilates page for more info. Very soon, I'll be adding my services as a Functional Hormone Specialist to help women come home to their bodies, reconnect with their innate wisdom, and find balance through targeted lifestyle and nutrition support.
My approach honors what your body already knows. Together, we'll help you trust your body's wisdom and create lasting transformation from the inside out.
When I'm not working with clients, you can catch me managing the office at Temple Chiropractic, snuggling with my kitties Wilma and Margo, traveling with my partner Dan, chasing waterfalls, reading while enjoying a cup of coffee, antiquing, or simply sitting on my porch soaking in the moment.
