About Me
Adrienne is a former professional ballet and Broadway musical theatre dancer whose lifelong dedication to movement led her to develop a deep passion for Pilates. A native of New York City, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from New York University and received her Pilates certification under the mentorship of Romana Kryzanowska, one of Joseph Pilates’ original protégés.
She went on to establish A Physical Therapy Alternative Inc., among the first private physical therapy practices in Santa Monica, California. The practice became well known for integrating the Pilates Method into the treatment of orthopedic injuries, serving clients across the Los Angeles entertainment and athletic communities. As founder and director, Adrienne personally trained each of her therapists to blend Pilates principles with advanced rehabilitation techniques.
Beyond clinical practice, Adrienne has shared her expertise internationally, teaching anatomy and applied kinesiology at Theater Basel’s professional dance conservatory and at ProBallet in Basel, Switzerland. She continues to hold an active Physical Therapy license in California.
Client Testimonials
“After my hip and shoulder replacements, I worked with Adrienne on the Pilates Reformer, and thanks to her guidance and expertise, I am now able to glide in and out of my low-level sports cars with grace and confidence, and without those awkward and embarrassing window-grabbing moments.”
Professor G. B., PhD Biology
“As someone living with chronic degenerative knee joint disease, I’ve been continually impressed by Adrienne’s remarkable ability to adapt and adjust every exercise to how I’m feeling that day. My sessions have never been a one-size-fits-all experience. Adrienne draws on a dynamic blend of deep physical therapy expertise and a dancer’s intuitive understanding of movement. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to support my goal of preventing knee replacement surgery while allowing me to keep enjoying golfing, motorcycle rides, and sports car events.”
Dr. I. W., Rheumatologist
“Adrienne has an unwavering demand for excellence; every session is held to the highest standard. Her deep understanding of anatomy and biomechanics makes complex exercises easy to grasp, and she can always analyze any challenge with clarity and provide actionable solutions.”
