MEET SOMER
“I’m Somer, founder of Core & Cradle.
Pilates and I go back 14 years, nearly half of my life.
I discovered reformer Pilates at sixteen, through a close friend who was a dancer. I was immediately drawn to the discipline, precision, and intelligence behind the method.
At seventeen, I was certified through a boutique studio in upstate New York and began teaching reformer Pilates throughout college. It was here that I met the love of my life.
I went on to earn a B.S. in Business Administration, but I knew Pilates was my true passion. It was the work I wanted to fully commit to and master.
After graduating, I moved to Toronto and completed six months of full time comprenehsive training with STOTT Pilates, one of the most respected Pilates education programs in the world. The program ran nine to five and resulted in full classical certification across all Pilates apparatus, including reformer, cadillac, chair, barrels, and mat.
After my training, I relocated to Sarasota and began teaching at a reformer studio before eventually launching my own online Pilates subscription platform focused on intelligent, at-home mat Pilates. I built this platform just before Covid, which gave me the flexibility to relocate to London and continue teaching while building a life with my now husband.
I eventually stepped into the world of software sales and business development. While different from movement, this chapter sharpened my skills in strategy, growth, and building sustainable businesses.
During my maternity leave, I was laid off from my corporate role. At the time, it was painful. In hindsight, it was the moment that brought me back to my purpose.
In the early weeks postpartum, nap trapped on the couch in surviving a brutal New York winter, I opened the Core and Cradle Instagram account. I was craving connection, movement, and a way to feel like myself again while navigating new motherhood.
A few months later, my husband and I packed our bags, and our newborn, and made our way back to our forever home in Sarasota, Florida.”
