Momentum Pilates

Peggy was first introduced to pilates while training as a dancer over 25 years ago. In 1999, she certified with STOTT PILATES and has continued to pass on her expertise, enthusiasm & passion for pilates throughout her journey... eventually opening her own studio, Momentum Pilates, which has been growing strong for over a decade.
Her desire to help people experience the life-changing benefits pilates can bring to everyday life has seen her advance her learning of the human body, and becoming a Fascial Stretch Therapist.
Peggy’s goal for everyone she works with is always the same - to help them move through their daily lives with more strength and confidence in what their body can do.

Dancing since the age of three, Gloria's body was aching and in need of something else. During Aromatherapy training, Pilates was suggested and she was hooked. After certifying as a Stott Pilates Mat Instructor in 2000, Gloria also trained with Colleen Craig and Pilates on the Ball. In 2011, the Melt Method was introduced to her and she was off to New York to begin training with Melt Method creator, Sue Hitzmann, becoming the first instructor in Ontario. In 2015, Gloria and her husband Cliff left Toronto for Gananoque and she is thrilled to introduce more people to this self-treatment that helps alleviate the negative effects of daily living.

I was born and raised in Sweden and have lived in Canada since 2004. In my earlier years I worked as a technician in a research laboratory, then started my family and became a stay-at-home mom raising my two, now grown, beautiful children, and loving every minute of it! In later years I received my PSW diploma and provided care for the elderly and now most recently, completed training and examination in Tactile Massage. My passion lays in helping and caring for people with the goal of making their life a little better in whatever way I can. What captured my interest about Tactile Massage was the scientific aspect of this method due to my early years in the research lab and the many ways it can improve people’s quality of life. Now, more than ever, many of us are stressed, anxious, lonely and isolated. My desire is to help and provide some relief, making life a little sweeter for each one of us.
