Brandy Winters:
Through her experience as Founder and Operator of Brandy Winters Massage Therapy based in Oklahoma City, OK since 1999, Brandy has developed an understanding that most people create their own aches and pains through habitual poor posture and poor movement habits.

The personal benefit she receives from this revolutionary method allows her the physical freedom to fully enjoy her favorite pastimes of snow boarding, jogging and horseback riding. Her increased ease of mobility and diminished body aches inspire Brandy to encourage everyone to participate in the Pilates Method and she has declared to learn as much as she possibly can.

Brandy is dedicated to expanding her knowledge of The Pilates Method and refining her teaching skills.
