Kira Davis, PTA

From gymnastics to dance, yoga to circus arts, Kira has always been a mover. After surviving an awful car crash in her teens and later seriously injuring her back as a young adult, she realized that she was all flexibility and had no strength. She was drawn to becoming a Pilates Instructor and Physical Therapy Assistant as a tool for strengthening her hyper-mobile frame and immediately enjoyed the stabilizing results both modalities provided.

Adopting a strong Pilates practice and rehabilitative maintenance routine has helped Kira not only with pain management but, more importantly, it has been the key to keeping hope and motivation alive to get back to a reasonable level of function after severe injury. Kira is inspired by the puzzle of human anatomy and feels excited to explore with clients on their journey back to pain-free locomotion and recovery. “It is an honor to be part of the process that helps your body move through space with ease.”

Outside the studio, Kira enjoys traveling to tropical islands, being on her paddle board, swimming laps and gardening inside the house and out!

Certifications include:
*BASI Pilates Instructor; comprehensively certified 2016
*MELT Method® Instructor; 2018
*PTA (Physical Therapy Assistant) OR/WA #9969; 2021
