Catherine's Journey
Our Story
For years, our founder, Catherine, battled severe anxiety, depression, fatigue, and the frustrating cycle of pushing her body hard without seeing results. She tried every form of movement but nothing seemed to help. Working out was supposed to help with stress, so why did she always leave feeling worse?
It wasn't until 2017, when her functional medicine doctor suggested she try Pilates, that everything changed. In her first class, a whole new world opened up. She could breathe easier, the tension had melted away, and for the first time in a long time, her mind was finally still. Her muscles had never worked harder, yet her body didn't hurt. She actually wanted to go back.
Catherine knew she had found something special and that she had to share it. In 2018, she moved to Manhattan to complete a 650+ hour comprehensive Pilates and advanced therapeutics training, studying under some of the country's top master instructors, doctors, and wellness practitioners. There, she developed her deep passion for functional and therapeutic movement and became trained to work with a wide range of needs - including scoliosis, chronic pain, injury rehabilitation and prevention, athletic conditioning, back injuries, pre/postnatal care and diastasis repair, osteoporosis, gait training, and myofascial imbalance assessment and correction.
In 2022, Catherine brought that expertise home and opened Sound Side Pilates on the Crystal Coast, with one goal in mind: to help others break free of old patterns and learn to move with intention, strength, and ease.
If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like your body is working against you, Catherine gets it. She's been there. And she knows the way through.
