About Me

Hello!

Hello there! I’m Faith, the founder of Cloud Island Pilates and I’m so happy that you’re here. It’s a privilege to share my Pilates practice with you! I’m on a mission to make movement joyful, accessible, and empowering for every body and to build a community around Pilates here in SVG.

My wellness journey didn’t start out easy. For many years, I shied away from movement—feeling disconnected from my body, frustrated by traditional fitness settings, and often uncomfortable in environments that didn’t feel designed for me or my body type. As someone in a curvier body, I often felt like I didn’t quite "fit" the mold of what fitness was supposed to look like. But over time, I realized that movement isn’t about fitting into a mold. It’s about feeling good, being present in our bodies, and honoring ourselves where we are right now.

Pilates was a game-changer for me. It helped me reconnect with my body in a way that felt nurturing, not punishing. It taught me the beauty of listening to my body, moving with intention, and celebrating my strength. And that’s the feeling I want to share with you!

At Cloud Island Pilates, movement isn’t about perfection—it's about expression. It's about finding joy in the way your body moves and learning to love the process. I truly believe that movement should be accessible to everyone, no matter your shape, size, or experience level. That’s why I created a space where you can explore movement without judgment, shame, or comparison. Whether you’re new to Pilates or an experienced mover, you are always welcome here.

I believe that Pilates can be a transformative experience for all bodies. Incorporating Pilates into your routine will not only help you perform daily functional tasks more safely and efficiently but it will also assist in the regulation of your nervous system. Pilates is also a wonderful compliment to other activities such as tennis, golf, swimming, dance, and running. Whatever your goals are, I can’t wait to move with you!

Training & Experience

Meet my island pup, Lou!

I received my Pilates teacher training in the United States through Balanced Body Education®, the leading international Pilates teacher training program. I’ve been fortunate to train under some of the best Master Teachers in the New York City metropolitan area and have completed my trainings in Mat and Reformer Pilates, as well as on the Trapeze Table, Cadillac, and Tower. When I'm not in Bequia, I teach out of the beautiful Black Rock Pilates studio in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Caribbean Connection

Although I’ve called Bequia my second home for the last 6 years, I spent part of my childhood in Montserrat, another volcanic island in the West Indies. It was during this time that I fell in love with Caribbean people, culture, food, color, and lifestyle.
