A true Cajun girl, Tori Chiasson was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She has over 20 years of dance experience, and has been happily married to her husband Theron of 26 years. Tori has always loved nutrition and exercise, but was never able to overcome injuries from a car accident that left her in chronic neck and back pain. The pain ultimately caused her to resign as owner of a thriving hair salon. After being introduced to Pilates a few years later, her life changed relative to pain as she found her new passion in health and fitness through Pilates. Helping others became Tori’s mission and career as she became a certified Stott and Balanced Body instructor including 30 years of teaching many other forms of fitness. She has people in all career backgrounds and health profiles. Helping those with injuries or those who simply want to be in better shape became her life’s passion.
