History

Established in 2014.

The fusion of the Pilates Method with Egoscue Postural Alignment came to life during a conversation with a client suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and Scoliosis. Vanessa began researching Egoscue, and quickly found that by utilizing the postural re-​alignment methods with Pilates, she was able to provide faster, more functional results for her clients. This dedication and desire to help people builds through her knowledge of both the Egoscue Method and Pilates which led her to the grand opening of Function.
