MEET YOUR GUIDES

Maeve McCaffrey

I’m so happy to be a part of your wellness journey! For 28 years, I've taught people of all ages and fitness levels. Since the start, one thing has become evident: everyone can benefit from movement and mindfulness. I'm here to help you on that path! 

I'll provide you with breathing and posture work. There will also be strength, core, and cardio workouts and yoga classes for all levels in a safe and supportive environment. Movement is healing and your body was made to move. 

During my late teens and early twenties, I struggled with an eating disorder. I credit mindfulness and self-love for helping me build a healthy relationship with exercise and food.

I have a beautiful toddler and two silly cats. I love dancing, singing, cooking, eating, Scrabble, word games, and writing. I believe our purpose on earth is to be happy and facilitate the happiness of others. I hope to be a part of your joy!

Sonje Mayo

After certifying as a physical therapist at the University of Cape Town, my career as a professional dancer took me to London and the USA. I studied jazz with Luigi and contemporary dance at Martha Graham's School in NYC where I met Joseph Pilates. The sessions with him & Romana Kryzanowska had a profound influence on my life. 

During the ’60s and ’70s, I danced with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. I returned to South Africa & formed the first multi-racial modern dance company JAZZART. I've won many awards including the Vita, the Swiss "Prix de Lausanne", the Isola de Capri in Italy, and the Concours de Dance in Paris.

16 years ago, I opened my Pilates studio in Nashville. I specialize in rehabilitating injured athletes and treating Scoliosis. I'm a Master Teacher Trainer for Pilatesology.com & teach international workshops around the world. At 76, I credit Pilates for helping me maintain a strong core and spine, which has helped me stay toned and flexible and age with grace.

Dr. Suzanne Gilberg -Lenz

I'm Dr. Suzanne, an expert, speaker, and advocate for integrative women’s health. And I am on a mission. I’m exploring what it means to be a healthy woman in this culture and age and how we can support our growth as individuals and show up in our communities.

I’m a hard-core science nerd with a deep respect for the holistic approach to health and life. Believe it or not, there is a science to self-care! After earning my medical degree at Southern California School of Medicine and completing my residency at Cedar Sinai, I wanted to expand my knowledge beyond conventional medicine.

In 2010 I graduated as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, which has  expanded and informed my practice of medicine and allowed me to integrate this ancient healing tradition into my work.

Our society is obsessed with “looking” younger- but we forget the value of growing confidently into the wise woman phase. I de-stigmatize aging so you can live FEARLESSLY! My Menopause Bootcamp empowers women through education, so you can understand, prepare for AND feel fabulous through Menopause and Perimenopause.
