If you find yourself in a difficult season of life - physically and emotionally - Katia will meet you with wisdom, support, encouragement, and practical tools to safely heal. I found her on Yelp when I was starting to recover from a traumatic accident: 7 broken bones, wounds, a sprained ankle, concussion, and was in need of emotional support while I was healing. Katia is an excellent listener. She is poised with questions and challenges to you, and will help you process hard things with clarity. She will be your biggest cheerleader, supporter, encourager, and accountability partner (if you so choose to commit) in your time of healing. Conventional medical coverage was not enough for me to confidently move forward with my life. Conventional therapy, although excellent, wasn't enough either. To heal you need to come at it from all angles, and Katia will be just that. She will work with you to heal both physically and emotionally, and that is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself, isn't it? read more

I came to Katia on a recommendation for Pilates not knowing much about it, I needed to do something for my health; I had just retired, lost my Mother, and I didn't feel comfortable going to gyms due to my weight and age... I was lost when a friend of mine, who was a client, insisted I should do Pilates with her. When I arrived I was warmly welcomed and after a few minutes I felt calmer and at ease. I talked about what brought me in and she explained to me about Pilates and what it could do for me. It all made sense! Katia's first question on every session is: "what does your body have to tell me today" and we focus more on that area. After a few visits I could see and feel a difference in my body. She would make suggestions on things I could do at home and day-to-day to enhance my workout. Her knowledge of the body and the one-on-one attention to me made my Pilates experience in person and online the best. The longer I have been under Katia's care, the more evolved I have become with other services she gradually offers as needed, such as Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Cupping, Ear Candling to name a few. All of which have been extremely helpful to me and my healing. One day we were talking about how affected I was by the loss of my mother and she suggested some Coaching Sessions. That yes to coaching is one of hardest but best things I have done. The combination of Pilates, Holistic Therapies and Coaching has helped me understand my mind, body, my feelings and spirt. I had pain in my body caused by some memories I have been carrying for years, thinking it was normal. With her coaching I now know why I have the thoughts and pain. Coaching has given me the power to let it go, and allows me to grow and become the person I am meant to be. I highly recommend Equilibrium Wellness Studio to everyone who is looking for fast results, all ages, any issue. But don't expect to be in an ordinary Pilate's studio, full of machines, lots of instructors loud and crowded. You will be entering a space where you will nurtured, heard, seen and treated by her as a Very Important Person with all services included, and Katia's attention extended online or by texts whenever you need her.

There are two things that have stuck in my mind since the first time I worked with Katia. 1. What a wonderfully informative and knowledgeable woman who helped me really feel the difference in the pilates system. 2. What a serene location she has created and what an incredible difference between that one on one work out experience and the meat grinder experience of a larger gym. Make Mine Pilates. read more

I've been to many Pilates Studios and this one by far is the best I have ever experienced. They are extremely knowledgeable, passionate and affordable. All of the equipment is up to date and the studio is always air-conditioned and clean. There is also plenty of parking. They also do craniosacral Therapy, Reiki and are trained with anatomy and physical therapy. If you are looking for a studio that is more than just Pilates that is a life changer, I highly recommend Equilibrium Pilates. read more

I've been coming to Equilibrium Pilates for many years now. I have been suffering from back pain for over 15 years because of my scoliosis and Katia has been the only person able to relieve my pain. After many chiropractors, physical therapies, acupuncture and rolfing massage sessions, I would say coming here was the best thing for my back pain. Katia's stretches are very powerful and you will learn so much about your body you won't learn anywhere else... believe me, I've been to countless pain relief centers, vast majority of them don't do anything. Katia is a very knowledgable instructor who knows much more than just pilates, she knows every muscle that causes pain, every joint that's connected to your problem areas. She knows the human body head to toe, inside and out. I highly recommend anyone who's looking for body pain relief to come here. You'll be in good hands. read more

Katia is a great help to my health. Over the 4 months I've done Pilates here and I can't believe how much my body has changed from just doing it once a week. I actually have abdominal strength now. Katia has also helped me with other treatments that really help me be more calm and centered. I can't see me doing Pilates with anyone else. read more

Her back is always better after her sessions. read more

This was the worst place that I ever been to in past 10 years. This instructor does not know what customer service is. She was very rude and mean. I am not what she is thinking, only word that I can think of is dissapointed. Totally waste of time. I had to leave in the middle of the session because of her personality. read more

Katia is a Pilates instructor professional with a physical therapy background which makes her super in tune to the your body. Her stretching techniques will make you sweat, her muscle strengthening will bring balance and core strength, and her cranial sacral technique will help you find peace again. She is truly educative about Pilates and it's benefits. I highly recommend trying even a group class to have a taste, although it takes time to start to feel, breath correctly, and understand the movements. read more

I took the introductory session to Pilates in order to learn more about the system and to find out how I could benefit from it. The session was an hour and half long and very affordable. What impressed me is that Katia didn't merely just show me some exercises. She took the time using skeletal models and my own body to explain how certain muscles function and serve to protect the spine and joints. She gave me her undivided attention and thoroughly answered all of my questions. Her depth of knowledge as well as her passion for Pilates is readily apparent. I would highly recommend Equilibrium Pilates to anybody who is looking to alleviate pain, or simply improve their overall health and well-being. read more

I really enjoyed my time and look forward to going back. read more

Love her energy, knowledge, and sincerity in helping me accomplish my goals. I chose to come here as part of my overall wellness and rehab plan that traditional medical care won't address.

She is teaching me to breath, working my abs and stretching me out to get me ready for this baby! I highly recommend EVERYONE try! Who doesn't want a better posture?! read more

Katia makes Pilates individualized and this type of targeting gives you the knowledge about your own body. I have learned so much in the 4 years I worked with Katia. Just when I think I know my body and its capabilities, she challenges me to the next level, and I am surprised by myself. Stretching, core strengthening and rehab (when necessary) are all areas of expertise and you will not be dissatisfied. I feel stronger and more knowledgeable now after the time I have spent at Equilibrium Pilates. read more

Katia is amazing. She brings all of her intuition, talent and experience to everything she does. Helping folks heal and move forward with our lives in better health and with more balance is her vocation. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

After being in a bad car accident in 1998, I had been to more than twenty doctors and chiropractors in an attempt to reduce my back pain; it would improve to a certain degree, but eventually the pain would return. I was to the point that I could not stand for more than a couple of minutes before the pain was excruciating even with pain relievers and muscle relaxers. Once I started working with Katia, I knew I had hit the jackpot! After one month of 1 private session and one class per week, I have eliminated 3 muscle relaxers per day and feel stronger with less pain each week. She has allowed me to reduce my own pain by strengthening my muscles. Her knowledge of the human body and how to rehabilitate it is just phenomenal! read more

Katia is wonderful! She is loving, patient and always happy. I initially went to her rehab my foot so that i would avoid bunion surgery. But going to her has changed my life. My husband went to her as well. She has opened my mind to the importance of stretching and core strength. I have fallen in love with Pilates. She is a gem! Thank you Katia!!!! read more

I came to Katia looking for Craniosacral which I was introduced to by a fellow RN in San Diego. She is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. Admittedly, my first couple of sessions I could not fully relax but with time and getting to know Katia I became more comfortable and my sessions were incredible. The tension in my neck subsided and my migraines have only occurred twice in the last few months a huge improvement from bi-weekly. I was looking for a more permanent and holistic approach to minimizing my migraines and I found it in Katia. After craniosacral I began my Pilates training looking to strengthen my core and upper body. Katia did that and more helping me to realize that you really can work every single muscle in your body and she sure did. She also greatly improved my flexibility and taught me how to stretch properly as to avoid injury while trying for half marathons. I highly recommend Equilibrium Pilates. read more
