Let's Connect

Let's connect and discuss your goals

Connect via email to book either a 30-minute complimentary phone consultation to discuss your health goals, or a 30-minute Pilates equipment session at the Ridgewood studio. Both sessions literally kick-start your wellness plan.

Together we'll discuss your health concerns and goals. As we get to know each other, we can mutually determine which program suits your needs.

In your email, please include the type of consultation you'd like, plus a few dates and times that work best for your schedule.

Before Your First Session

A few things to know

Please take a few minutes to read through these before your introductory session with Gina — it'll help you arrive prepared and at ease.

What should I expect when I meet with Gina?

Warmth, and my full attention on you. We start with a complimentary 30-minute consultation — by phone or in the studio — to talk through your history, how you're feeling, and what you'd like to work toward. From there, every session is one-on-one and built around your body: no big classes, no rushing, no one-size-fits-all. I read your form in real time, correct it in the moment, and adjust for exactly what you need that day. You'll leave feeling seen — and usually a little taller.

What should I wear?

Socks are required — grip socks recommended. For sanitary reasons, bare feet aren't permitted on the equipment, so please wear socks; I recommend grip socks for extra stability. Wear form-fitting clothing so I can see your alignment and correct your form — leggings are ideal, but anything that won't ride up works well. A fitted tee or tank on top is perfectly fine. New to grip socks? Just ask and I'll point you to a pair I love.

How early should I arrive for my first session?

Come about 10 minutes early for your first visit. There's a short liability waiver to fill out — feel free to print and bring it ahead of time (it's linked at the top of this page too), or complete it when you arrive. Arriving a little early also gives us a moment to say hello, talk through anything on your mind, and walk through how the equipment works before we begin.

Do I need any Pilates experience?

None at all. I work with complete beginners and lifelong movers alike, meeting you exactly where you are and building from there. Proper form comes first, and we always move at your pace.

Can I do sessions from home?

Yes. In the studio we use the full equipment. Over Zoom or FaceTime, sessions are all matwork — including variations of GLOW Body Evolution and my other methods — so you get a complete, guided workout with nothing but a mat at home. Both run in 60-, 45-, or 30-minute formats.

How long are sessions, and how often should I come?

Sessions come in 60-, 45-, and 30-minute formats. How often is up to your goals, your body, and your budget — many clients come once or twice a week, but we'll find a rhythm that's sustainable for you. Consistency matters far more than intensity.

What if I have an injury or a health condition?

If you have an active injury, rest and let it heal first. Once you're recovered, we'll begin with a private session so I can see where your body is and build something safe and appropriate for you. Pilates is a wonderful post-injury practice — it rebuilds strength, mobility, and confidence gently, one area at a time. With my training in anatomy and functional movement, I tailor every exercise to the body in front of me, and I'm happy to work alongside your physical therapist or doctor if you have one. Keeping you safe is always my first priority.

Do you offer semi-private (duet) sessions?

Yes — moving alongside a friend or partner can be a lovely way to share the experience. One honest note: if either of you has specific limitations or health considerations, I'll usually recommend private one-on-one instead, so I can give your body my full, undivided attention. For everyone else, duets are a wonderful option.

What's your cancellation policy?

Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule — that protects the time I've set aside just for you. Sessions cancelled inside the 24-hour window are forfeited. That said, life happens: your first late cancellation is on me, no questions asked. (Package and session terms are in Please note, above.)

How do I get started?

Reach out for a complimentary 30-minute consultation. We'll talk through your goals and figure out together which approach fits you best — no pressure, just a conversation.

Each person is on a distinct wellness journey.

No matter your current point in that journey, the right approach can help you reach your goals and cultivate a greater sense of well-being. I'd love to help you find what fits.
