Kellie Franks
Pilates Teacher & Reiki Practitioner
Stronger bodies, calmer minds for perimenopausal women in Downtown Bloomington.
Private Pilates and Reiki to ease aches, improve sleep, and steady your nervous system so you can keep doing what you love.
Hi, I’m Kellie Franks. I turned to Pilates when I needed a way to move without pain, clear my head, and feel at home in my body again. It worked. My energy came back, my mind got quieter, and I realized I wanted to help others feel that same steady strength. If you feel better, you do better. That’s the heartbeat of my studio.
I’ve been teaching since 2008 and continue to study the Pilates method in depth, completing multiple instructor trainings through Balanced Body. Currently in Lesley Logan’s Elevate mentorship. I’m also a Barre teacher, a Post‑Natal Pilates Specialist, and a Reiki practitioner attuned to Second Degree in 2022, offering both in‑person and distance sessions. Pilates moves energy physically. Reiki moves it spiritually. Together, they support your whole system.
Why I get your life
I’m a mom of three — Abigail (25), Hannah (22), and Brodie (8) — with a wonderfully supportive husband, Craig. I know what it’s like to feel like there’s no time for yourself. You’ll often find Brodie and me sharing a playful Pilates moment on my Instagram, because movement is family life for us too.
My approach
We start where you are. I blend gentle‑to‑progressive Pilates with Reiki and breathwork to release common hot spots like wrists and shoulders, build real‑world strength, and calm your nervous system. I continue sharpening my tools through Elevate, a high‑touch mentorship with Lesley Logan, so your sessions stay fresh, effective, and personalized. Sessions are tailored to perimenopausal needs: steadier sleep, fewer aches, more confidence to keep doing the activities you love.
What a first session feels like
Simple wins, zero intimidation. Clear cues, supportive touch if you want it, options for sensitive joints, and space to breathe. You’ll leave feeling taller, clearer, and more capable.
If you’re ready to feel strong and calm again, come see me in my private studio in Downtown Bloomington.
