Denise developed a love of body movement as an adolescent, taking a variety of dance classes while growing up in the Midwest. During her college years, she studied Dance as a minor. Acquiring certifications, beginning in 1980, in aerobic dance, strength, flexibility and personal training (IDEA, AFAA, ACE) led her to the Pilates world. In March 2003, she helped open a Pilates Studio at the Jewish Community Center in Indianapolis, IN. An adventure trip of tent camping for a month from Anchorage to Homer to Chena Hot Springs Resort solidified her and her beloved’s decision to relocate to Fairbanks, Dec 2015. Traveling back to Indy to visit granddaughter, family and friends is one of her favorite things to do, as well as dancing, cooking, gardening and resale shopping.

Diane discovered Pilates in 2002, when she began taking mat classes and private lessons with Ann Turner Studio. Years of physical training and an active lifestyle kept her fit, but she was inspired by the strength, vitality and mental focus that she experienced through Pilates. Her enthusiasm for the Pilates method prompted her to pursue professional training as a second career after retiring from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. She earned preliminary certification in 2010 through Peak Pilates. Then, in 2012 she entered the True Pilates comprehensive training program at Seattle Pilates International Studio while apprenticing with Ann Turner, and completed her certification in 2014. This program provided the additional opportunities to train with Romana's Pilates Senior Instructor Lauren Stephen, Romana's Pilates Master Instructor Trainer Roxanne Richards-Huang, and Romana's Pilates Grand Master Instructor Trainer Cynthia Lochard.
