Nikkiem Schultz, Certified Stott Pilates Instructor

Nikkiem grew up in Eugene and graduated from the University of Oregon with a BA in Art History. After moving up and down the West Coast, working in several art galleries and later as a real estate appraiser, she decided she wanted to study and teach in the arts of body development. She was introduced to Pilates in 2008 and fell in love with the mind-body connection the exercises provide. In 2010, she received her certification in Stott at Pacific Northwest Pilates in Portland.

Nikkiem has been an athlete her whole life, and after having two kids, Pilates gave her the stamina to continue with her athletic activities by keeping her strong, limber, and mindful. Practicing Pilates on a regular basis strengthens your core and helps develop individual muscle strength that improves your posture and enhances your overall body awareness. This will help you avoid injury and empower you to live a better life. The more she practices Pilates, the stronger her belief that everyone needs Pilates in their lives!
