Carol’s lifelong passion for movement began with classical dance training at a young age. During her formative years, she attended prestigious programs such as the North Carolina School of the Arts and Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance and Choreography from Arizona State University, launching a successful career as a freelance dance artist in Los Angeles and San Diego.

After sustaining a spinal injury, Carol discovered The Pilates Method, which became a transformative part of her personal and professional journey.
