One of the ways that Baxter’s business has expanded is its collaboration with Elysium Body Therapies, a business operated in the Flourish Pilates studio by Laura McCorkle, LMT. Serving on her staff are licensed massage therapists Marie Blacklidge and Larry Wolfe.
McCorkle’s specialties are Swedish relaxation massage and deep tissue massage, but she also does pregnancy and Reiki massage. Also available at this studio is Thai massage from Wolfe and Swedish and deep tissue massage from Blacklidge.
A certified Stott Pilates instructor and certified group fitness instructor, Baxter has been teaching since 1999. In her recent expansion, Baxter has hired certified Pilates instructors Elizabeth Payne, Nissa Windsong and Michelle Kinkade.
The additional instructors give Baxter the chance to offer more and different classes because of the specialties of each instructor.
“My instructors can offer personalized Pilates training and sport-specific workouts for golfers, tennis players, runners, cyclists, equestrians and skiers,” she said. “They are also trained to work with clients who are rehabilitating from an injury or have Parkinson’s disease as well as women who are pregnant or post-partum (visit www.pilatesmommy.com).”
Three words summarize the benefits of regular Pilates practice, Baxter says: thrive, prosper and flourish.
The benefits include improving posture, balance, lung capacity, flexibility and strength as well as tightening abdominal muscles and decreasing neck and back pain.
Baxter says the studio not only offers personal training by appointment, but also will be open for anyone to observe Pilates classes during the farmers market every Tuesday evening throughout the summer.
Flourish Pilates is located at 1785 Willamette Falls Drive, between 13th and 14th streets. Take the path through the white picket fence, behind the rose arbor and alongside the 1895 Victorian home to the modern studio near Knapps Alley. McCorkle is available by appointment and may be contacted by calling 503-201-8333 or visit www.elysiumbodyther
