Enjoy a mindful, personalized approach to movement.

Welcome Abel Wellness!

We’re so glad you’re here. At Abel Wellness, we’re dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for your movement journey.

Getting Started

As a new client, you’ll begin with private sessions to work one-on-one with a skilled instructor. These sessions help us:

  • Identify your unique needs and goals
  • Introduce you to the foundational principles of Pilates-inspired movement
  • Ensure you feel confident and supported before joining a group class

Our Intro Mini Private 5-Pack is a great starting point. However, the exact number of private sessions needed before transitioning into group classes will be determined collaboratively between you and your instructor.


We require these private sessions for your safety, confidence, and optimal progress.

Waitlist for New Clients

At this time, we are operating on a waitlist for new clients. To be added to the list, please email us at
 📧 studio@abel-wellness.com

We recommend connecting with us before purchasing the 5-pack so we can guide you on availability and the best next steps.


  • What to Expect

    Because Pilates is a unique and thoughtful method of movement, your journey will begin with a personal evaluation. In your initial private session, we’ll take time to:


    Discuss your goals and physical needs


    Evaluate your posture, alignment, and muscular patterns


    Introduce foundational breath and movement techniques


    You’ll likely spend some time lying on a mat or table, exploring key concepts such as postural awareness and core engagement. We’ll also guide you through an introduction to the Pilates equipment, including spring-based apparatus designed to assist and challenge your movement in a variety of ways.


    This session is all about meeting you where you are, so you can feel safe, informed, and confident as you begin your Pilates practice.


    Cancellation Policy

    As a courtesy to our instructors and clients on our waitlist, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any session cancellations or rescheduling.


    Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will be charged 100% of the session fee.


    Thank you for honoring this policy—it helps us serve our community with care and consistency.

  • What to wear

    Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing that allows you to bend, move, and breathe with ease. We recommend form-fitting attire when possible, as it helps your instructor better observe your posture and alignment to ensure you’re moving safely and effectively.


    That said, your comfort is the priority—wear what makes you feel good and allows for unrestricted movement.  


    We practice barefoot or with grippy socks designed to provide traction and stability on the equipment or mat.

I Inspire active go-getters to conceive greater awareness of their bodies, instilling confidence in daily movements by creating whole-body strength and mobility. Empowering them to Fierce Independence



Being able to use my own life experiences and partnering with others to support them on their journey is one of the most rewarding and humbling gifts I’ve ever received. I LOVE teaching others how to move beyond the roadblocks life has thrown at them, and discover that they can take control of their well being, their mind and how it affects the outcomes they are able to achieve. YOU are your own first-person expert of your body and how it moves and thrives. YOU have the capacity to remove the barriers to a healthy body, whether from a life of injury or simply from age, and to do so with grace and ease. And I’m here to guide you on the journey to that potential.

 

You can call me an educator or instructor but I feel most truly like a partner, a listener and encourager of your independence. I am a motivator and facilitator of your best self. I have always believed you can’t ask others to do things you can’t do yourself. 


My purpose is to walk alongside my students and inspire a sense of empowered independence. As you learn the ability to tune in and access your body and its state of being you create safe, easeful freeing movement. With heightened body awareness, and optimized healthy balanced movement you’ll find deeper wells of strength and flexibility, both in body and mind, that make YOU your biggest heroine and me your faithful guide.

"I was needing a program that could help strengthen my body and help my arthritis to be managed without lots of pain in addition to give me techniques to help my muscles relax. Abel Wellness has gone above and beyond to meet my needs." 

I cannot say enough about Abel Wellness and how much Patti and Donnie have helped me.

First of all, Monday is my favorite day because that is Pilates day!

My Pilates experience with them the last several years has centered me, in body and mind. I am stronger, longer(haha), leaner and stay aligned. I used to have back pain. Now with a strong core, I can do pretty much what I want to do at age 60 and enjoy my life fully. If I overdo it, they fix me!!

They are so very intentional and informed in their instruction and that has helped me to become more aware of my own body and listen to it.

“I know that pilates starting one month after giving birth and and then the individual sessions have played a significant role in my mental, physical, and emotional health during this post pregnancy season. More awareness, less pain, and motivation to continue growing and learning in my new body. you.”

Thrive in your body.
