Heather Mullen is a sought-after and respected pilates instructor in the Seattle area. For over 25 years she has been a catalyst for change for hundreds of individuals. Some seeking physical transformation, and others seeking to overcome injury or personal physical setbacks, Heather’s compassionate-yet-demanding approach has enabled her clients to not only reach their goals but for many to truly regain a quality of life through fitness and healing of both the body and the spirit. Having always approached fitness from a highly competitive mindset shaped by years as a competitive kayak racer, cyclist, dancer, and rower – a nearly-fatal cycling accident left Heather physically and emotionally devastated. Forced to confront her own personal struggle and grief that surfaced from the accident, Heather not only recovered but emerged with an entirely new perspective and respect for the human body and how, if properly and intelligently cared for, could bring about more than just physical strength but confidence, joy, and peace of mind.

Hello, I'm Jonnie, and I'm thrilled to be joining the BodyTonic Pilates team as a Pilates instructor. With a background deeply rooted in the world of dance and movement and a lifelong connection to outdoor activities, I bring a unique perspective to the practice of Pilates. I grew up in a vibrant ski town where outdoor activities were integral to my daily life. From skiing down the slopes in the winter to hiking and backpacking in the picturesque mountains during the summer, I've always cherished the beauty of movement in nature. This upbringing instilled in me a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection and the importance of staying active in the great outdoors. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Dance from Boise State University, where I began exploring the connections between the mind, body, and movement. As a multi-passionate person, movement and somatic healing arts have always been a driving force in my life. I'm a firm believer in the power of (W)holistic wellness, and I'm continually expanding my knowledge by attending various workshops and classes,  including Reiki and Healing Touch. My introduction to Pilates came at an early age during my time in a dance company, where it was used as a tool for strength and conditioning. Since then, I've been captivated by the transformative potential of Pilates, both physically and mentally. I'm eager to share this passion and help individuals discover their inner strength, improve their form, and integrate structured movement into their everyday lives. In addition to my love for Pilates, I'm also an avid practitioner of mixed martial arts, further enhancing my understanding of body mechanics and movement. Like martial arts, Pilates is a path to self-discovery and personal empowerment. I look forward to guiding and supporting your journey towards a stronger, more balanced, and healthier you. Let's embark on this Pilates adventure together!
