About us:

Clare Hesterman grew up in Southern Oregon and is now making her home in Portland after almost 20 years away from the west coast. As a student of the American Conservatory Theater Master of Fine Arts Program, she found Pilates to help support her studies in Alexander Technique, movement and physical theater. Later, as a professional actor in New York she discovered the rehabilitative power of Pilates as she worked to come back from a debilitating injury.  

​Clare is certified in both Mat and all Apparatus Pilates through the internationally recognized Kane School of Core Integration in NYC. She trained directly under Kelly Kane and Matt McCulloch at the Kane School/Kinected Pilates Studio and was soon after asked to join the Kinected staff and became a Kane School Teacher Trainer in 2012. She simultaneously opened the first incarnation of the Push and Pull Pilates studio in her home in Brooklyn, NY


Clare has completed numerous continuing education courses to keep growing and learning in her field. Her training is specialized with information in anatomy, biomechanics, touch therapy, and experience working with a wide range of injuries, including but not limited to: osteoporosis, scoliosis, arthritis, knee/hip replacements, abdominal surgeries, ligament and labral tears, pain disorders, and pre/post-natal. Clare continues to seek out new approaches, thoughts and guidance about her field so that she may be of service to those in need.
​
Alissa Lesperance holds certifications through ACE for Personal Training, 550 hour pilates teacher training through Cascadia Pilates, YogaFit, Rock Tape FMT (Functional Movement Taping) and Schwinn Cycle. She’s been helping clients achieve their personal best for almost 2 decades. As an avid aerialist, rock climber, cyclist and yogi with a history of body building, she brings a holistic, well rounded approach to her teaching.
She began her fitness career in 2005 on Cape Cod after getting certified for personal training and yoga instruction. As well as training clients, teaching belly dance and other fitness classes, she competed in the figure division of bodybuilding. In 2007 she moved to Vail, CO to pursue her love of snowboarding where she trained and taught classes at the Vail Cascade Resort. She traveled to India for 3 months to study yoga and traditional dance. In 2021, she completed a 550 hour pilates teacher training through Cascadia Pilates, deepening her passion for anatomy and motor learning. Living in Portland, Oregon for the past decade, she has found her home actively perusing her love of aerial circus, rock climbing, hiking, yoga and dance.
Fitness is about so much more than endless repetition at the gym. It is about realizing your goals, finding ways to move your body that you enjoy and training to be your personal best. Alissa provides the support, guidance and knowledge to help you experience your full health, happiness and vitality.
