About Hillary:
Hillary recently relocated back to Salt Lake City after living in Honolulu, Hawaii, for 17 years where she owns and directs Manoa Dance Studio (MDS). When she started MDS, many thought she was simply teaching kids the basics; however, she was, in fact, learning to dance again herself. In 2008, Hillary suffered a major stroke that left her unable to speak and rendered her right side paralyzed. After a risky brain surgery, she nurtured her recovery over several years with Pilates. Pilates enabled her to make leaps and bounds in her recovery and allowed her to return to her first passion: dancing.
Hillary has one constant thread throughout her life—her passion for empowering people through movement. Now, Hillary instructs at several studios in the Salt Lake City valley and names TOSH Orthopedic Specialty Hospital her home where she specializes in neurological recovery with movement, body mechanics for athletes and dancers, and injury recovery and prevention. She also holds over 2,500 hours in movement science, Pilates and Yoga certifications.
