Studio Manager Waterford

Reba Tehan

Hi! My name is Reba. I found PVPT about a year ago in my search to find something that would be gentler on my body. Pilates has been life changing for me in so many ways! I have always worked out -- from Barre to Spin -- I’ve tried it all. Pilates for me is that perfect mind/body connection that just hits all the right things! I look forward to bringing my love of Pilates to other members in this community! When I’m not doing Pilates, you can find me in my design studio making someone’s dream kitchen come to life or hanging out with my family and friends. 

Lead Pilates Instructor Waterford

Jamie DiPalma

Hi! I’m Jamie and I discovered my passion for Pilates in the Spring of 2023. I was first encouraged by the idea of low-impact workouts where I could lie down? Whaaat?? I was immediately hooked on the gains in strength and the unexpectedly rewarding mind body connection. I aspire to create a welcoming environment where I can foster the positivity and wellbeing of our members in a vibrant, zesty, high-energy atmosphere. Hopefully promoting the growth of Pilates in our community with my love of the practice. When I’m not attending or leading classes at PVPT, I’m operating my hair salon or finding F’s and chasing W’s.

Cathryn Ouellette

Hi, I’m Cathryn! 

I’m a CT native who took a little detour to RI after meeting my husband, who proudly serves in the RI Air National Guard. I found Pilates during my own health and fitness journey and started as a member at PVPT Waterford—quickly falling in love with not only Pilates, but the incredible community that comes with it.

I began Pilates at my heaviest weight, and through that experience, it became my personal mission to show others that Pilates is truly for every body—no matter your size, shape, or starting point. In 2025, I set out to become an instructor to help others discover the powerful mind-body connection that Pilates offers.

When I’m not in the studio, I work as a Revenue Cycle Management Director for a local family of dental practices. And if you take one of my classes, you’ll definitely meet Olive—one of the best studio dogs around!

Pilates Instructor

Jennifer Boluch

Hi, I’m Jenn! I’m so happy you found us, and I’m excited to be part of your journey. I discovered
PVPT—and Pilates—at a time in my life when movement and taking time for myself didn’t come
naturally. It was here that I unearthed strength and perseverance I never knew I had. I’m truly
honored to be part of the incredible community we’ve built at PVPT. When I’m not in the studio,
you’ll find me wrangling two dogs, two cats, three teenagers, and one husband!

Pilates & Yoga Instructor

Maggie Skinner

Hi, I’m Maggie! I traveled to Kenya when I was 18 to be of service with Africa Yoga Project, where I received my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification, Expand Your Power, under Paige Elensen. In 2021, I continued my training with Baron Baptiste and became a Level 1 Baptiste Certified Instructor.

Along with yoga, I completed a Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training under Kim Cremin in 2023 and continue to expand my Pilates education through workshops and bodywork training. I believe exercise is a celebration of what the body can do—not a punishment for what you ate yesterday—and I’m passionate about using Pilates to help clients fall in love with how good it feels to move.

With a background in ballet and personal experience navigating chronic pain and anxiety, my goal is to help clients use yoga and Pilates as tools to feel empowered and in control of both mind and body, rather than feeling at their mercy.

Hi, I’m Dion! I grew up on Miami Beach and moved to Waterford two years ago. I’ve been practicing yoga since the 4th grade and decided to take my practice up a notch by becoming a yoga teacher! Fitness is a huge part of my life, from pilates to marathon training to yoga, and I love showing people that movement and exercise is for every BODY!

Pilates Instructor Apprentice

Allison Silva

Hi, I’m Allison! I’m stepping into the Pilates teacher world after falling in love with the practice in 2020. With a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a full-time career in SaaS sales, I’m passionate about blending brain and body through intentional movement. Pilates has become an outlet for me to apply my knowledge of how the body works while helping others feel strong, balanced, and confident.

When I’m not practicing or teaching, you’ll usually find me walking my husky, catching a game (or yelling at one on TV), soaking up beach days, or daydreaming about my next exercise class.
