Performing Arts Medicine
Performing Arts Medicine (PAM) is a field of medicine devoted to the care and support of all performing artists. It has been established internationally for more than 30 years, and it is growing rapidly within all disciplines of health & wellness.
All Performing Arts Specialists have an in-depth knowledge of the vocabulary and the CHALLENGES involved in a diverse range of disciplines, as many of the physical symptoms that performing artists encounter will be related to the specific demands and techniques of their particular discipline.
Isabel has presented research and created innovative educational lectures and programs supporting the development of safe and effective performing arts training. She’s adjunct faculty at University College London and serves on the board and committees of several international organizations in the field.
In 2014, she founded the onsite health clinic at the Institute of the Arts Barcelona (Spain) to bring the knowledge and best practices from these international organizations to her hometown.

"I have seen Isabel on a weekly basis for about 4 months to help with pain and mobility issues that I have as a result of severe scoliosis"
Since seeing her, I have developed my muscle strength to a point where my spine is supported by my body and I rarely have any pain. She has shown me how to take my practice outside of the studio and incorporate life changing techniques and exercises in my daily life. I am so grateful for her knowledge on healing injuries and ailments because it has changed the future of my health and quality of life.

"I have been doing private pilates with Isabel for a little over 3 months and there is an obvious and noticeable difference in my strength, flexibility, and posture."
Isabel perfectly scaffolds sessions so that I experience the perfect combination of rigor and mindfulness. She is open to feedback and will modify movements on the spot to accommodate my body and how I am feeling that day. Her positive personality is infectious and motivates me to push through even the most difficult of exercises. I leave every session feeling refreshed, relaxed, and connected to my body in a personalized way that group classes cannot provide!

I've been training with Isabel all through covid virtually.
Her training has transformed my fitness. I was suffering from a variety of sports injuries that prevented me from running or going kayaking. Her knowledge of Anatomy and constantly changing workout regimen has allowed me to start these activities again. Also, my abs have never looked better!

I have loved working with Isabel.
I noticed an immediate difference after just one session in my breathing, posture, and core strength. Isabel's training really helped me get out of the COVID and work-from-home slump. We have a great time doing creative and interesting movements - each session has been really fun!

Isabel is an excellent instructor who has not only helped me to recover after surgery, but has given me the confidence and the tools to be an even stronger version of myself.
I am stronger now than I have ever been, and I credit Isabel with my progress. She took the time to get to know me and she definitely has "magic hands" - she just knows where the stress is in my body and how to correct it. Her teaching and encouragement have been essential for me and she makes a point of showing you how pilates movements can really change the way you move your body. I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to work with her - she really is a wonderful, caring person who truly cares about you as a whole individual. Anyone would be lucky and privileged to be her student!
