Health and wellness have been a part of Kelley Peace's career story for years.

Colleen’s Pilates pursuit was launched in the ‘90s by a local news segment featuring a Pilates studio in her hometown of Cleveland, OH. She soon found an instructor at DC’s National Capital YMCA who taught the classical method and she was hooked. As she pursued a career in public health, Colleen was often in remote places and no matter where, she could “bring” her Pilates practice with her. Once settled in Atlanta in 2009, Colleen was able to dedicate more time to her practice and she loved that she could always learn something new, even about the most fundamental of exercises. She also appreciated how this full body system provided conditioning and recovery for other activities and the sessions always brought her joy.
