Sheron Parks, NCPT, PCES

Sheron has been a practitioner of Pilates for over 20 years after discovering that a regular practice is critical for her to maintain a healthy and functional spine. Suffering from sporadic back pain since her teenage years, she was blessed to find Pilates and immediately fell in love with how it made her feel, but more importantly discovered that the improved core strength helped to prevent back spasms. Because of how the method has impacted her life, she decided she had to share her love of Pilates with others and completed a comprehensive instructor training program with Balanced Body, a highly respected global program that includes 500 hours of training on both mat and apparatus as well as anatomy and went on to gain her national certification. While in training, she made even more discoveries about her own body and was able to improve her posture, increase overall muscle tone and flexibility and improve her tennis game by re-balancing her muscles.  Sheron is now a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT), certified Barre Above Instructor, and a certified Pregnancy and Post-Natal Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES).

Sheron is passionate about helping clients find their unique muscular imbalances and developing a plan to help them feel better and move better in their body. Her style of teaching is very calm, supportive and thoughtful, encouraging mindfulness and stress relief during a client’s Pilates session. However, she also challenges her clients to work hard and take their practice to the next level so that they feel and see the benefits of the method. 

Using her knowledge as an avid racquet sport player and specialized study, Sheron has developed a workshop for tennis and pickleball players to improve their game with functional conditioning.  This can be provided online or in person upon request.  Sheron also works with women to help prepare their bodies for pregnancy, improve labor outcomes and postpartum recovery.  Any woman who has delivered a child (even 30 years ago) and still experiences leaking or an abdominal separation (diastasis recti) may be able to improve with the right program and sustained effort.

When she is not in the studio, Sheron is often playing tennis or pickleball, hiking, boating on the lake, cooking up a new recipe in the kitchen, or working her “day” job in the biopharmaceutical industry.
