Comprehensively certified in Pilates through the PhysicalMind Institute, she has nearly a decade of teaching experience and has been instructing at Evercore Pilates & Wellness in Biddeford since 2019, working with clients of varying backgrounds, abilities, and movement goals. She is excited to bring her experience and love of movement to the Samudra community.

She is also the founder and director of Creature Works (creatureworksdance.com), a company that develops original performance works throughout New England.
Drawing from extensive training in dance, physical theater, choreography, strength training, and movement analysis, Kelsie brings a thoughtful and highly embodied approach to her classes. Her teaching emphasizes core strength, alignment, mobility, balance, and body awareness while encouraging students to move with confidence and curiosity. Whether leading a focused Pilates session or a dynamic full-body workout, she aims to create an environment that is both challenging and accessible.
Kelsie believes movement should leave people feeling stronger, more connected, and more at home in their bodies. Her classes blend technical precision with creativity and play, offering students an experience that is both empowering and sustainable.
