Hi there, I’m Faith, the founder of Cloud Island Pilates, and I’m so excited to share this space with you! I’m on a mission to make movement joyful, accessible, and empowering for every body.

My wellness journey didn’t start out easy. For many years, I shied away from exercise—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!

I received my Pilates teacher training through Balanced Body Education® which brings the best of movement science to movement education. I’ve been fortunate to train under some of the best in the field, receiving my certifications in both Mat and Reformer Pilates, as well as on the Trapeze Table, Cadillac, and Tower. When I'm not in Bequia, I teach at a beautiful studio in my hometown of Bridgeport, CT.

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 practitioner, you are always welcome here.

Together, we create a supportive, body-positive environment where you can grow, laugh, and discover your own unique strength. Every class is designed to help you feel empowered, connected, and—most importantly—joyful in your body.

I can’t wait to move with you!
