Here is a brief introduction to how Pilates Process was started:

Laura Helsel-Biography

Laura Helsel is the creator and director of the Pilates Process Method.  Originally from White Rock, B.C., she travelled extensively throughout Canada and the USA as a professional ballet and modern dance, eventually settling in Toronto where she taught dance classes.  In 2001, Laura opened her own Pilates studio, working with respected physiotherapists and trained in biomechanics.  After years of training clients with chronic pain, Laura developed a more clinically based therapeutic approach, and that is when Pilates Process was developed.
