Richelle Wescott

Owner Operator, Rikki Wescott, was plagued by 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. After making the decision to dedicate her life to promote health and wellness of others, Rikki left her newly established project management position at a web development company in downtown Chicago and started on her Pilates training path with Balanced Body. 

Rikki is a comprehensive Balanced Body Pilates instructor with a master’s degree in exercise science. She hopes that the personal training aspect of her master’s blends and combines with her Pilates experience so that she can truly help and educate people on their own body movement. She hopes that she can make a difference in as many peoples lives and bodies as possible, starting with herself, her family and her close friends. She hopes that her blog and social media pages can help further extend the reach of her ideas on healthy living, healthy eating and mind-body fitness and wellness.
