JODIE M. GORDON, LCSW-C, Founder & Owner

Embody Pilates & Wellness, is the result of over 25 years of experience in the field. After earning my Masters Degree in Social Work at the University of Maryland, I extended my specialty to include personal training and Pilates instruction.  The philosophy behind Embody Pilates & Wellness began in 2015 and is the culmination of my commitment to the mind-body connection. I wanted to build a community that supports, educates and inspires clients to feel strong, manage stress, and have a healthier lifestyle while they age.

Embody Pilates & Wellness combines the highest values of the mind and body connection, fusing pilates, fitness, wellness coaching, and my psychotherapy practice.
