Bio

Leslie is the Senior Manager, IT Experience at Merrithew®, where she considers it an honour to support, guide, and mentor Instructor Trainers around the world. In this role, she is dedicated to fostering growth, maintaining excellence in global education standards, and helping Instructor Trainers thrive within Merrithew’s expanding international community.

Before stepping into her leadership position, Leslie built a distinguished career as a movement professional. Formerly a professional dancer, she was introduced to the STOTT PILATES® method following a significant knee injury and multiple surgeries that ended her dance career. Her extensive understanding of body mechanics and strength made her transition to Pilates both natural and impactful.

Leslie quickly rose within the industry to become a Merrithew Lead Instructor Trainer specializing in Total Barre® and STOTT PILATES. As a long-standing and valued member of the Merrithew education team, she has presented and mentored instructors around the world and contributed to the development of new workshop content.

In addition to her global education work, Leslie is the owner of Pilates in the 6, a Toronto-based boutique studio where she continues to train clients and apply her deep expertise in movement, rehabilitation, and performance. Her client experience includes working with a wide range of populations, including Cirque du Soleil.
