Private Coaching

Skillful Teaching Coaching is... powerful + accessible. focused on restoring purpose and passion. gets you where you want to go.

Coaching, whether 1:1 or in a group, is a rich and powerful way to gain clarity, problem solve, get focused, re-inspired, give your work direction and greater purpose. Skillful Teaching coaching focuses on helping you break down difficult roadblocks into manageable steps that are in alignment with your passion and your values.

Sessions can be done via Skype, phone, Zoom, or if you’re in Northern California we can meet in person.

What is coaching for the Pilates teacher?


CMLonCAwithBabyIf you’re looking for BIG change in your teaching and your business, and you’re looking for strong, compassionate, focused support to get you there, THIS IS IT.

None of us do this alone. Coaching is about being in a trusting, energizing, and transparent relationship with someone who wants more than they’re able to achieve on their own. Coaching is about being objective and able to provide opportunities for insight and clarity that can push someone forward; it’s about developing a person and their work beyond their own expectations. 

This is not always easy. It takes a lot of hard work on both ends, but it’s the only way through some of the tough stuff we face as teachers: burnout, lack of confidence, feeling like an imposter, struggling to do all the jobs and still be a present teacher (mom, dad, partner, parent, friend, etc.).

Coaching is also about problem solving. We’ve crafted a very clear process for interacting with teachers we coach that includes heart-centered and whole-person dialogue, AND simple, actionable strategies for identifying roadblocks and solutions no matter if you’re teaching for someone else or you’re running the show.

We look forward to working with you!

I recently told the studio owner where I teach that I feel like my schedule is busier and people are staying longer because of my work with Chantill.  I feel more energized, more focused, and more excited about my teaching! I know it’s working. Of course I really want to be the best teacher I can be and that motivation helps, but our work together is pushing me forward.
