Shirley has been a massage therapist since 2009. She graduated from Marywood University in Pennsylvannia with a Bachelors of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders. She completed her professional training at Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy in Piscateway, N.J, in October 2009, was awarded state licensure in February 2010, and spent the next year and a half as a massage therapist building private clientele and working for Massage Bar Inc, and The Hoboken Massage Practice out of the Hoboken Chiropractic & Wellness Facility. She also has volunteered much of her time to organizations such as The American Cancer Society Relay for life events, The Breast Cancer Society Race/Walk events, and the NJ Marathon. In 2010, Shirley had the great opportunity to work with the New York Jets as a Sports Massage Therapist during that year's Super Bowl. During that time, she also worked with a wide variety of athletes, professionals, and continued to hone her skills in Swedish, Myofacial, Pre-natal, Deep Tissue Corporate Chair Massage and Sports Massages.

On August 2010, Shirley took YogaFit's Level One Teacher Training, and has been teaching and introducing beginners yoga to the Hispanic community in Union County area. On April 2011, she took Momilates® & Stroller Moves®: Pilates For Mommies Certification with Annie Martens at Bella Bellies Studio, and is looking forward to integrating this knowledge into her practice.

In her free time, Shirley spends a lot of her time with her family, reading books, painting, and the outdoors. Shirley believes that all of us are in need of more positive touch in our lives. As our lives become ever more rushed and pressured, we find fewer and fewer opportunities for actual physical contact with other people. It is exciting to share what I learn and to see others find not only fitness through yoga, or Momilates® & Stroller Moves® but also contentment, peace, and a sense of fulfillment.

Carrie Campbell is a Hoboken mom of 2. She has been teaching Pilates for over 13 years and is a senior level Teacher Trainer for Power Pilates NYC. She has appeared in numerous Pilates DVDs and has been featured in several magazines including Fitness, Us Weekly, and Pilates Style. Carrie gives all the credit to Pilates for both of her happy healthy pregnancies and births, as well as helping her get back to her pre-pregnant body soon after birth. In Prenatal Pilates, she teaches breathing techniques to help with labor, core strengthening to help with pushing and to prevent diastisis, stretching to help combat all the aches and pains of pregnancy, but best of all, she works on all the peripheral parts of your body that aren't pregnant (legs, arms, & butt!).

After birth, Postnatal Pilates is the best way to regain core strength and pelvic floor control. She also focuses on strengthening and stretching all of the muscle groups associated with motherhood (core, upper back, and arms).
