Studio Owner/Certified STOTT Pilates® Instructor
Collette Brown
I have been involved in the health and fitness industry for nearly 30 years with experience spanning in group instruction, private training, and leadership roles - all grounded in a lifelong commitment to movement and well-being. I believe it all started with my Dad dragging me out for after-dinner runs at the early age of 13!
An active lifestyle has always been a part of who I am - from trail running and biking to duathlons and completing my first half marathon in 2013. Beyond the studio, I am a proud mom of three and find my greatest joy in family life and inspiring them in health and happiness.
I discovered Pilates more than 25 years ago and was immediately drawn to the precision, mindfulness, and transformative results of the method. After studying the STOTT PILATES® approach, I knew I had found my professional calling. This passion led to the creation of Create Balance Pilates, a thriving studio built on community, education, and a shared love of movement.
As both an instructor and studio owner, I love to bring energy, focus, and authenticity to every class and session! I am committed to helping clients move optimally, build strength with intention, and experience the powerful balance that Pilates creates - both physically and mentally.
I am so proud of the community we’ve built at Create Balance Pilates. Seeing the positive impact our work has on people’s lives is truly the most rewarding part of what I do.
