Instructor

Francine received her Bachelor's degree in Physical Education from PUCRS in Brazil in 2012. After working as a swimming teacher for a while, she found her true calling in Pilates.

In 2011, she completed her first certification program in Mat Pilates, and later received a comprehensive Pilates certification in 2015, both from Power Pilates. Subsequently, she earned a Specialist certificate in the Pilates Method in 2017 and a Master’s degree in Human Movement Sciences in 2019, both from UFRGS in Brazil. Francine has participated in numerous conferences, workshops, and seminars related to Pilates in Brazil over the last decade.

To further her studies and seek new challenges, she moved to Los Angeles and now calls Westwood Pilates her home. Francine's main goal is to introduce as many people as possible to Pilates to help them benefit from this transformative method.
