Danielle is a wonderful instructor. 'Very clear with her instruction and sensitive to a client's needs. Highly recommend!
As a classically trained ballet dancer Natalie Blanco first
utilized Pilates techniques to enhance her own dance training and
quickly discovered its superior rehabilitative benefits. She then
began formal training in Pilates and was certified in 2001. Seeing
the potential of Pilates for rehabilitation Natalie worked with
Physicians and Physical Therapists, helping to heal patients with
Pilates techniques adapted for rehabilitation. During that time she
was among the first Pilates professionals to work with disc
replacement patients during the surgery’s clinical trials. Natalie
founded Have BodyWellness (then BodyWellness) in 2004. The
reputation of her work grew and Have BodyWellness began receiving
regular referrals from The Spine Institute at St. John’s Medical
Center and The Pain Center at Cedars Sinai. In 2006 BodyWellness
became an authorized Medicare and health care provider. As the
Founder and Managing Director of BodyWellness Natalie achieved the
vision of combining traditional Physical Therapy with the unique
benefits of Joseph Pilates exercises. This combination proved to be
successful in bringing patients and clients to new levels of
healing and strength. Today the focus of Have BodyWellness is to
gather the different styles of Pilates under one roof and to make
those styles accessible to a broader clientele, utilizing the style
most appropriate to the client’s needs. Have BodyWellness offers
everything from Classical Pilates to Contemporary to rehabilitative
forms based on the Pilates method.
