Hi, Im Nikki. Im a Pilates teacher, massage therapist, and fitness educator with over a decade of experience helping people build strength, improve mobility, and overcome injury.If theres one thing that I wish everyone knew its that workouts shouldnt hurt. My original approach to fitness aka beat the crap out of yourself left me so debilitated by pain that even though the thought of slowing down gave me hives, I knew something needed to change.I ditched the extreme behavior and discovered that all the incredibly unsexy information in the exercise science textbooks were right. When you combine moderation with thoughtful application, you stop getting hurt and start getting results.And if that sounds ridiculously straightforward, its because it is. Fitness is only complicated, because we make it that way.
