MEET THE OWNEr
HELLO, I’m Destiny!
I was born in Kansas City, MO, but I have lived in the Dallas area for almost 10 years with my Husband and 3 Daughters.
My pilates journey started when I attended the Kansas City Ballet School. In my training there, Mat Pilates was always apart of the curriculum and naturally, I developed a passion for it! I also attended numerous summer intensives on scholarship across the U.S, including American Ballet Theatre, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Ballet Met, and Alvin Ailey where Pilates was sprinkled throughout the curriculums as well. During my senior year of high school, I was a Student Apprentice with Kansas City Ballet before attending The University of Oklahoma as a Ballet Pedagogy Major and a member of the Oklahoma Festival Ballet. While attending OU, I really got to experience the true beauty and benefit of mat and reformer pilates, as not only did the dancers use it to cross train, but other athletes and college majors were in the classes as well; Everyone having a different fitness level and doing Pilates for different reasons!
My goal for Platinum Pilates McKinney is to help clients understand how pilates can be more than just exercise! I want clients to understand it can be used to improve mental health, heal and prevent injuries, and can be challenging, yet so rewarding! I want to provide all of the various benefits of pilates in fun, engaging and all-inclusive classes!
