Meet Our Team

Donnie and Patti have been entrenched in Movement their entire lives.

From kids you could find them both very active, not only could you find Donnie in the karate dojo, but he was an avid skateboarder, surfer and snowboarder can you say crazy balance and core strength.  Patti always preferred being outdoors biking, hiking through the woods, climbing trees which would lead to her success in running track along with being one of the first girls in cross country at Franklin High. 

After many years of doing and trying multiple types of exercise programs Patti found Pilates at just the right time.  The daily strain of the corporate world had wreaked havoc causing low back and hip pain, within the first week Patti told Donnie she had finally found what worked for her body as the pain had already dissipated and she was learning strategies to also use while out of the studio. Through the Pilates method Patti sailed through pregnancy and was back to her regular routine within 4 weeks post c-section (per Dr. approval). 

 Donnie's love for movement took him into work as a Personal Trainer and Physical Therapy Technician which he did for 20 years until Patti stole him away to work with her as a Pilates and Movement Specialist at Abel Wellness.  Together they have worked alongside each other at Abel Wellness since 2009. 

“I have tried multiple styles of systems but have achieved greater results in less time. I attribute the results to both the system of Pilates and the teacher..”

“Donnie and Patti always takes into consideration our individual capabilities. Listens to our concerns. Personal attention. Treats us like friends, not just clients..”

“My blood pressure is excellent, my cholesterol is down, my bone density is normal, and I am the same height I was in my teens.”
