Nicole is co-creator of the Barre Evolution Method, certified Pilates Instructor & Owner of Mt. Pleasant Pilates & Wellness. Nicole discovered Lotte Berk in London in the early '90s and loved that a low-impact workout could yield such high-impact results. In 2005, she began studying and training to create her own barre certification program and in 2008, launched Body by Barre as a complement to the Pilates classes offered at her Pilates studio. Nicole is trained and barre accredited through Core Fusion/Exhale Spa and trained with Elizabeth Halfpapp and Fred Devito-the longest standing pioneers in barre fitness in the US. Nicole is proud that Barre Evolution is SC's only accredited barre fitness program.
