Throughout her career, Adriana has worked with a wide range of clients, including athletes, seniors, pregnant women, individuals with diastasis recti, gastrointestinal conditions, fibromyalgia, autism, hip issues, and those recovering from hip replacement surgery or transitioning out of physical therapy. Adriana is deeply committed to helping her clients feel empowered, resilient, and connected to their bodies. Her mission is to support each individual’s unique journey—one session at a time—through thoughtful, personalized, and transformative Pilates instruction.

FRONT OFFICE MANAGER / PILATES DIRECTOR/ INSTRUCTOR
Celine is the Office Manager and Pilates Director at Tyler Physical Therapy & Pilates, where her work is guided by a commitment to helping others heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a student of neuroscience and philosophy, she is passionate about the connection between mind and body. Her studies focus on how the brain and nervous system influence movement and well-being, while philosophy offers insight into consciousness and identity. This perspective shapes both her approach to Pilates and her role in clinic management. As a certified mat pilates instructor, she views Pilates as a powerful practice for reconnecting with oneself, focusing on movement tailored to each individual’s anatomy, needs, and emotional state. In her role as office manager, she ensures every patient feels supported and cared for throughout their healing journey. Outside of work, Celine enjoys volunteering, spending time outdoors, and being with her family and friends.
