Pilates Brunch Club brings people together through movement, conversation, and shared experiences that feel welcoming and intentional. What began as a small gathering has grown into a multi-layered community built on connection.
Best known for our signature Pilates Brunch Club events, we now host a range of experiences, including movement-based gatherings, book clubs, supper clubs, and smaller, more intimate events. Each one is thoughtfully curated to encourage meaningful relationships and real conversation.
Over time, Pilates Brunch Club has connected thousands of women and collaborated with small, local businesses across California. Our events have taken place in hotels, rooftops, wineries, private homes, salons, and restaurants. While no two events look the same, they all share the same purpose: creating spaces where people feel comfortable, seen, and connected.
Pilates Brunch Club officially became a registered nonprofit organization in 2024. In 2025, we raised $30,000 to support local domestic violence survivors through partnerships with HAVEN in Stanislaus County, Napa News, and Domestic Violence Solutions in Santa Barbara.
In 2026, our goal is to raise $40,000 to continue supporting survivors and the local organizations that serve them. Pilates Brunch Club exists to turn shared experiences into collective action and meaningful community impact.

"When I struggled with fertility issues for nearly a decade, I found solace in her aerial yoga sessions and her soothing voice in my head... laughter was always abundant in any of her sessions. She has created a community wherever she goes, and most of us follow her wherever she goes. I trust her implicitly and her fitness knowledge, and appreciation for all women's needs know no bounds. If you are LUCKY enough to find yourself in her orbit, never let go."
