Welcome to wel•lam, pronounced "well-um." The brand is defined as wellness through length & movement. Hi, my name is Lia.
wel•lam, pronounced well-um, is defined as wellness through length & movement. Our intention is to nurture our community in a supportive space—through functional length and movement programs—one shape, one body, one human at a time. I teach adults and teen girls the path to begin, build and dedicate themselves to a supportive wellness practice and mentor Pilates students to become teachers themselves through the connection of body, mind and soul.

I’ve seen some new followers around here lately, and it’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself, so I thought it was time.
Hey there! I’m Lia.
I’m a Pilates Teacher and Yoga Therapist and owner of wel•lam (pronounced well-um). I’ve been teaching Pilates since 2007 and have spent nearly a decade training and educating Pilates teachers.
These days, you’ll find me teaching private Pilates and Yoga Therapy sessions & classes, leading Pilates Teacher Trainings, and mentoring teachers as they continue to grow.
I believe movement should meet you where you are. And when I’m educating teachers, I want them to understand the why behind what they’re teaching and feel confident adapting movement to the person in front of them.
A few other things you should know about me: I’m a music lover, proud godmother to three, and slightly legging-obsessed.
If you’re new here, welcome! And if you’ve been here for a while, thanks for continuing to follow along.
I’m glad you’re here.

One of the most common questions I receive about my Mat Pilates Teacher Training is whether it’s nationally recognized.
wel•lam academy is recognized by the NPCP as a School of Education. That was really important to me when I decided to create this training.

This week in my newsletter, I shared the story of how I ended up teaching my very first Pilates class…totally unplanned.
In 2007, my mentor called and said she was stuck in traffic—could I start class for her?
I said yes…nervously.
Halfway through, she walked in and sat at the front desk. After class, she told me:
✨ “I wasn’t stuck. I knew it was time for you to start teaching.” ✨
That moment changed everything—and I’ve been teaching ever since.
If you’ve been thinking about becoming a Pilates teacher, this is your moment.
Join me this October for the wel•lam Mat Pilates Teacher Training
Written and led by me -> this 100-hour program takes a therapeutic and functional approach to Pilates—designed to support you in feeling confident and prepared to teach.
