Meet Mia

A nurse’s care.
A teacher’s hands.

For more than thirty years I’ve cared for people as a registered nurse: at the bedside, in clinics, and in their own homes. Along the way I fell in love with Pilates, because I watched what strength, balance, and breath can give back to a body.

Willows & Wildflowers brings both together. Like a willow, the body can bend without breaking. Like a wildflower, it can thrive in hard places. My work is helping you do both, safely, at any age and any stage.

Visitors
Music for the mat

Every class has a soundtrack.

Music is how I breathe through a day. Class playlists lean on the songwriters I love most: honest words, warm voices, and melodies slow enough to move with.

Questions

Good to know.

I’ve never done Pilates. Is that okay?

Yes. Most of my students start as beginners. Every movement can be scaled down or up, and I’ll show you exactly how.

I have osteoporosis, arthritis, or a past injury. Is it safe?

Pilates can be very safe when it’s adapted, and that’s where a nurse’s background matters. We start with a health conversation, and for some conditions I’ll ask for your provider’s OK first.

Do you come to my home?

Yes, for private Pilates sessions and for nursing care. I serve Walland, Townsend, Maryville, and nearby communities. I also welcome clients to my home studio.

What kind of nursing care do you offer?

Private-pay, in-home support such as recovery after surgery, postpartum and newborn checks, wellness visits for older adults, and respite for family caregivers. Skilled tasks follow your provider’s orders.

Can visitors staying in a cabin book a session?

Absolutely. I bring mats and small equipment to your cabin for private or family sessions. Book a few days ahead in summer and October.
