Eleanor graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree in dietetics from UBC in 2004. Eleanor has received training in Chinese Qi-Gong and a variety of dance styles, from ballet to Middle Eastern; however her experience with the Pilates Method of conditioning has benefited and changed her life so profoundly, that she decided to make it her life long career, after only a few sessions.

As a severe asthmatic since childhood, Eleanor is particularly interested in and has benefited from the deep healing aspects of the method. As an avid amateur dancer, she especially enjoys the athletic side of the work. After being a client at Boditree for 2 years, Eleanor started her formal education with Boditree’s certification course, graduating in 2006, and teaching regularly since. To further her understanding in the complexities of the moving body, she has taken classes in floor barre, workshops in orthobionomy, the Franklin Method, and also in Pilates with Marie Jose Blom Lawrence. In addition, she attends regular classes in Laban Movement Analysis, Bartenieff Principles, and participates in ongoing training at the Boditree studio.
