Shawna Bruchert
Pilates Instructor
Hi, I'm Shawna!
Hi, I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist, Pilates teacher, Holistic Health Coach, and Real Estate Agent. I don’t believe in putting myself—or anyone—into just one box. My passion is helping people feel their best, whether that’s through bodywork, mindful movement, or guiding them toward new possibilities in life. I’m originally from Chicago, have a son in North Carolina, and love traveling, hiking, paddle boarding, and creating new experiences. At my core, I’m curious, multi-passionate, and committed to inspiring balance, resilience, and joy in the lives of others.
My teaching style emphasizes gentle, mindful, and intentional movements that help client’s become more aware of their unique physical constitution. I am committed to helping my clients achieve their goals—whether that’s improving strength, flexibility, and stability, or reducing stress, pain, and muscle tension. I believe in the power of massage and Pilates to cultivate a healthier spine, better circulation, and overall vitality.

More about me
Why people love my classes.
My classes are designed to empower students by helping them understand the connections they feel in their workouts through the lens of anatomy. I create a supportive and challenging environment for all levels, offering modifications and progressions to meet each student where they are. With the right balance of flow, precision, and playfulness, my classes encourage strength, awareness, and joy in movement.
How I put positivity in motion.
My mission is to help people recognize that maintaining youthfulness, balance, and resilience is a choice—and to inspire that philosophy in the lives of my clients and beyond. In my teaching, I draw from my classical training to provide structure and integrity, while incorporating contemporary styles that add creativity and variety. This balance allows me to keep classes purposeful and rooted in repetition, while also engaging, adaptable, and fresh for every student.
Outside of Sultivate™
I’m a multi-passionate professional whose work spans from massage therapy, Pilates, holistic health coaching, and real estate. I believe that people are never defined by just one title or role—and that curiosity and growth are key to living a full life.
I enjoy traveling near or far, exploring the outdoors through hiking and paddle boarding, and bringing creativity into everything I do—whether in my work, in movement practices, or my everyday life.
