Pure Pilates – Chelsey Harper, Instructor

Chelsey Harper

Chelsey is Central Coast born-and-raised and a certified Pilates instructor dedicated to helping students reclaim their lives after injury. 

Chelsey's journey towards becoming a certified Pilates instructor began in 2020 when she completed a mat certification course with Pilates Collective International Education, which laid the foundation for her ultimate goal of comprehensive Pilates training. In 2021, she dove headfirst into an extensive Pilates program, solidifying her expertise and turning her dream into a reality.

Chelsey faced injuries during her transition into adulthood including a dislocated shoulder, 3 dislocated ribs, and a risk of rupturing both Achilles tendons. It was during this time she discovered Pilates and it changed her life.

Pilates became Chelsey's sanctuary. Pilates helped her heal and gave her a newfound appreciation for the ability to perform even the smallest everyday tasks. Now, as a compassionate teacher, she's on a mission to share her transformative experience with others.

Specializing in post-injury recovery and Scoliosis, Chelsey guides her students towards strength and stability through intentional movement. She firmly believes that no matter the obstacles we face, we all have the potential to live our fullest and best lives pain-free. Chelsey encourages her students to regain confidence in their bodies and rediscover their joy through thoughtful, physical movement.

Beyond the studio, Chelsey is a busy mom and constantly on the go with her daughter's activities. In between the studio and her family commitments, Chelsey may be spotted taking a moment of tranquility for herself at a local coffee shop.
