I am truly blessed to have met Anna. I had an extremely traumatic birth in August 2022. I had a healing session with her in May 2023. It was so transformative and inpowering. But I was more concerned with my daughter and all the drama she carried.

She was flown to Stanford and in NICU for 2 months. Tube fed for first 5 months. Diagnosed with eye disorder that affected the muscle to her eyes. They wanted to do surgery but I was hesitant. So we tried glassed but as any baby she only lasted 2 months before ripping them off her head. She has been doing therapy P.T, O.T and speech therapy. And most recently was diagnosed with Cerbal Palsy. 

In March 2024 I set up a healing session for her. From the moment we stepped into Anna's cozy studio. I could see my daughter light up with interest. She sat through most of the session engaging with Anna. She at one point even fell asleep. There was a peace about her I had never seen. I hung on Anna's every word. Ready to put in the work.

That evening when I came home we sat for dinner. And suddenly my daughter started signing she said Eat more. Grabbed her spoon from her dad's hand. Put spoon in bowl and scooped food and into her mouth! It was incredible. She slept through the night for the first time. I truly believe she shed some of her trauma in one session!

Her O.T came that following morning. And she said something is different. She is sitting up straighter. And was stacking blocks with her therapist. Something that has been a goal for her. That week I started working with my daughter on all the things I learned. I started juicing for her every morning. Green juice one day and Red juice the next. Giving her legs and arms a massage every day when getting her dressed. Meditating with her 4 days out of the week. While I breast feed her. Feeding her super foods through out the day. Dressing her in Indigo blue to help balance her Third Eye.

It has been one month since my miracle girl had her session. We just left her eye surgeon appointment at Stanford and the Dr. Said she no longer is a candidate for surgery. Her eyes now only cross slightly at 5%. And will be getting fitted for leg braces next week. We are scheduling a session with Anna for next week. 

Anna has an amazing gift and in my experience has helped me and my daughter tremendously. This has not been an easy journey. But Anna has been a healing hand every step of the way! A million thanks and if you're ready to make a change please reach out to her.

Anna  Biela St Hilaire was my personal exercise instructor for at least two years.  I looked forward to each session with her because she motivated me in a way that I would never have been able to achieve on my own.  Each session was one hour that included strength training, flexibility/balance and Pilates Reformer exercises.  Anna adjusts exercises to each person’s strengths, needs and personal goals.  She has a strong background in physiology and relates that to any physical injuries or pain that one may be experiencing.  She guides one through each step of exercising and makes sure that correct form is being used and that modifications are made based on one’s physical abilities for that particular day.

Exercising with her is a positive, uplifting experience and when the session is over, one feels invigorated, stronger and very much appreciated.

I have had other personal Pilates trainers but none compare to Anna as she is the best at building a positive connection with her clients and she motivates in a respectful, uplifting, energizing way always.  

I hope many others can benefit from her instruction as I have.

I am an 80 year old retired elementary school teacher with severe full body arthritis.  My experience with Anna and Pilates was extraordinary!  I grew in strength, flexibility and confidence.  My pain level decreased and my energy increased.  Anna kept me moving constantly during our one-on-one sessions, always with different activities, so I did not become bored with the workouts.  She affirmed me constantly, which built my confidence over time.We also did Energy Healing, which has had long term positive effects on my general health.I would recommend Anna and Pilates to anyone who wants to improve their strength, flexibility and energy and improve their general health.

Anna is an extremely gifted Pilates instructor. She is creative, attentive, thoughtful, and finds just the right balance between challenge and a level that builds one’s confidence. I have taken Pilates from so many great teachers, including some of the big names in the Pilates world, and I can highly recommend Anna as an incredibly talented teacher.

I've worked with Anna after my hip surgery and now I'm fully recovered. I can enjoy time with my grandson just like Anna said I would. Anna is my favorite therapist. She is very knowledgeable, smart, hard-working, passionate, funny and committed.
