Meet Annie

Originally from Ohio (go Bucks!), Annie moved to Naples in 2011 and has been deeply rooted in the wellness community ever since. With a bachelors in psychology, certified in ABA, and a master’s in forensic psychology, her early career focused on Applied Behavior Analysis, working closely with children and adolescents at The Able Academy. While rewarding, the emotional toll of the work led her to recognize a deeper calling—one rooted in healing through movement, energy, and connection.

Annie transitioned to health and fitness in 2018, blending her passion for mental health with a more embodied approach to self-care. Practicing Yoga since college and knowing the benefits it brought to her mind and body, she initially started out as the GM At Pure Barre (A place she'll always hold in her heart) She’s been teaching yoga and aerial since 2022, added barre and Pilates in 2023, and expanded her offerings to include TRX and cycling for a well-rounded, strength-based practice. A certified Reiki Master, Annie also integrates energetic healing into her sessions, helping clients reconnect with themselves on every level.

Her teaching style is compassionate, empowering, and inclusive—focused not only on movement, but on cultivating a sense of belonging. Annie believes the highest form of self-care lies in mindful movement and community, and she’s most inspired when holding space for others to feel safe, supported, and seen.
