Risa Booze is a Registered Nurse, Certified Nurse Midwife and Pilates Teacher. She worked in numerous capacities as a CNM: full scope practice, outpatient women's health, family planning services and home visitation with prenatal and postpartum women. After twenty years of service she changed direction and began practicing Pilates. She completed the Ron Fletcher Program of Study, a 1000 hour program. She is in her fifth year of teaching. She owns VitalMotion LLC, a bright, beautiful north Boulder Pilates studio and also teaches for the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department and Iron Works Fitness.
She brings her vast knowledge of pregnancy and great love for the pregnant woman to her teaching of Pilates. "I see Pilates as a wonderful system to prepare the female body for pregnancy and to maintain that strength during pregnancy. For postpartum recovery, Pilates reunites the abdomen and pelvic floor to assist each woman in developing her strength and endurance as a mother."
