Hi! I'm Holly Chiodo, and I mentor and teach Pilates Teachers, Physical Therapists, and Personal Trainers!
With a passion for teaching and mentoring, I have been a dedicated Physical Therapist since 2003 and Pilates Educator since 2007. My health and teaching journey began after I was awarded the "Most Outstanding Psychology Advisor" during college, which led to tutoring anatomy , physiology, and neuroanatomy. This solidified my passion for teaching health and wellness to others.
After earning my master's degree in Physical Therapy, I crafted numerous wellness programs, including the highly-regarded "Pilates for Back Care" at the University of Utah Orthopeadic Center, where I served as the Director of the Pilates Clinic treating patients with lower back pain and other orthopaedic injuries.
The Advanced Spine Teacher Training Certification Program embodies the integration of Pilates into Physical Therapy and is also informed by my personal recovery from lower back pain. I add professional insights, evidence-based research, and focusing on recovery for individuals with acute and chronic lower back pain. I am committed to empowering teachers to confidently deliver exceptional outcomes for this population, both during and following this training.
