ABOUT LILA

As a movement specialist with an emphasis in applied neurology, I empower individuals to move with strength and pain-free mobility. Through my Love of Movement Community, I guide clients in retraining habitual movement patterns, enhancing posture, balance, and overall well-being. Through personalized sessions, online classes, or immersive retreats, my goal is to help you reconnect with your body, eliminate pain, and embrace a life filled with vitality.

"All the body, all the time."

I’m a passionate educator, movement coach, and wellness advocate. My journey began with dance, sparking a lifelong fascination with movement and the science behind it. Based in the Bay Area, I specialize in Pilates, Breathwork, Applied Neurology, and Functional Movement, and I’m dedicated to helping people reconnect with their bodies in transformative ways.

As the founder of the Love of Movement Community, I’ve created a space where movement, education, and neuroscience converge. My unique approach, NeuroFusion, blends these modalities to support each person’s nervous system, empowering them to move and feel better. With over 20 years of experience and having worked with thousands of clients, my work is grounded in deep knowledge, intuition, and a genuine love for guiding others toward embodied well-being.

In addition to my private practice, I lead transformational retreats—inclusive, heart-centered spaces where movement, connection, and personal growth come together.

"All The Body, All The Time."
