Hi, I'm Deanna, the founder of Nona Pilates and Mobility. I became a Flexibility Script Certified Flexibility Therapist in 2018 after training at the University of Florida. Starting my fitness career in 2013, I've since gained various certifications and training.

Since 2014, I've competed in Aerial Arts, achieving 1st place in PSO Southeast Level 3 Masters in 2017 and 2nd place in 2018. Additionally, I was a Semi-Pro Florida Pole Fitness Championship Finalist in 2018 and have performed at various events across the U.S., including the Orlando Fringe Festival, International PoleCon, Pole 4 a Purpose, and Bad to the Chrome.

​

Despite my passion for fitness and aerial arts, I faced challenges after being diagnosed with 5 herniated discs and 2 bulging discs in both the C and L spine in 2015. This limited my ability to teach and train competitively. However, after discovering Flexibility Script and obtaining my Flexibility Therapy Certification, I learned techniques that alleviated my pain and allowed me to live a fully functional, fit lifestyle. By incorporating comprehensive Pilates and strength training into my routine, along with maintenance visits to a chiropractic physician and occasional sports massages, I no longer require frequent visits for relief. I believe in the power of self-care bodywork to enhance fitness results and overall enjoyment of life.
