our story

Founder, Rikki Wescott, was plagued by chronic sciatic nerve pain (sciatica) in her right side for over a year before discovering Pilates in 2013. She had begun to seek relief from a holistic chiropractor but knew that she needed to address her muscle imbalances even further through daily exercise to see continued improvement in her condition. It was at this point in time that Rikki decided to dedicate her life to promote health and wellness. She left her web project management position in Chicago to take on her Master’s degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from California University at Pennsylvania online and start her Pilates instructor training with Balanced Body.

Since becoming a Balanced Body Comprehensive Pilates instructor and completing her Master’s degree in 2014, Rikki has promoted maintaining an active, healthy, balanced life both in the Intuitive Balance Pilates home studio, at ice rinks (she was a figure skater herself for over 20 years) and through her blog, findyourintuitivebalance.com.
