Pic coming soon!

After high school, Krista completed the Legal Office Administration program at Camosun College and found work at PBA Engineering. In this position, she gained a great amount of office experience and administrative skills. Krista has been active in sports and movement throughout her life and in 2003, she and her mother began the search for treatment options for her scoliosis, which led her to Victoria Pilates. Krista felt very quickly that Pilates was the answer for her body and became a dedicated student. Eight years later the office manager position became available and she knew this would be the perfect match for her. Krista is passionate about healthy lifestyles and has been working towards her Pilates certification during the past year. She is very excited to be the new office manager at Victoria Pilates!
