Cheysa is a native New Yorker with her roots (and heart) in the Caribbean. She moved to Los Angeles in 2016. Since then, she has blossomed through her connection with the wellness culture of LA.
Cheysa is a nurturer, highly intuitive, and loves nature.
She expresses herself creatively through fashion, design, and movement which helps her feel connected with her highest, most embodied -self.
She graduated from Montclair State University with a B.A. in Psychology and has had a career in Fashion and Fine Jewelry for the past 16 years.
Six years ago, she stumbled upon a small Pilates studio in her neighborhood. She'd been practicing yoga for many years and while she loved the mind-body connection she found in her yoga practice, she didn't feel she was physically challenged enough. After just a few weeks of consistent Pilates practice, she became hooked! She started to see her body transform, building muscle, feeling stronger, more aligned, and her chronic back ache subsided. In turn, she felt a huge boost of confidence and learned to move more mindfully in all aspects of life.
Cheysa felt inspired to share her passion for embodiment in 2021 as the pandemic started to wind down, while longing to reconnect with friends and attempting to recreate the Pilates community she once had in that little neighborhood studio.
Since then, she has completed a Balanced Body Pilates certification at Bodyline LA - in Beverly Hills, under the guidance of master instructor, Maria Leone.
