Very helpful with my shoulder problem due primarily to golfing activity - relieved then completely eliminated pain and discomfort. Recommend Danielle's assistance and therapeutic services without hesitation. James

Danielle is a great teacher with a deep knowledge of the body. When you take her classes you learn the moves but most importantly about yourself.

Several years ago I met Danielle. A few friends and I connected with her for some sessions that included yoga and Pilates. Even though we were all at varying levels of flexibility due to age and past injuries, Danielle was able to address each person’s issues with compassion, but mostly through her extensive training and knowledge. Learning how to breath properly while attempting many different positions was challenging, but over time, and through home work, very beneficial. I am honoured to call her my friend and so proud of her major accomplishments through her very successful business! She is a wealth of knowledge, but to me, it is her ability to connect with each person to address not only the physical needs, but she is also able to understand you mentally and spiritually.

Danielle is a very skilled and knowledgeable Pilates expert with the patience of a saint. She understands my injuries and has provided me with movements to enhance my mobility. Her primary focus is to ensure an improved quality of life for her customers.

I graduated as a physiotherapist. So, as a client of Danielle's (Second Winds Pilates) I was so impressed with Danielle's knowledge of anatomy, and movement pathologies - and how to correct these faulty movement patterns. She guides you through a learning curve on how to get back in touch with your body and correct long-standing faulty postures and movements. For myself this involved standing and mat work before 'graduating' to work on the reformer.

Danielle is amazing! Over a year ago I had an accident that left me with a tibia tableau fracture and a very messed up knee with torn ACL, PCL, Meniscus and gastrocnemius muscle. I was on crutches for about 8 months and really struggling with my mobility and in a lot of pain. Danielle taught me how to slowly get my mobility back. It has been a long journey, but she keeps me positive and taught me how to be in touch with my body. I do her pilates routine everyday to help keep me going!
