My Journey
As a health and wellness practitioner, I have assisted thousands of clients over the years and have help them reach their goals. Being diagnosed with “degenerative arthritis” (being bone-on-bone in both ankles) from a young age, I understand the frustration of your body turning against you and the negative emotions that it can make you feel.
I’ve spent years visiting medical doctors and none of them were about to help me.
Nothing they told me helped and no one could find a cause or a remedy to help me. This lack of real support, and knowing what positive steps I can take over time took a toll on my mental health.
But every challenge led to discovering new ways of withing WITH my body to improve my health.
I have become stronger mentally and physically by listening to my body, and working with what is safe and appropriate. I learned to make positive lifestyle changes to “fix” and improve my habits for a shot at a better quality of life. Working on myself as given me empathy for others in similar struggles. I’ve worked with healthy, athletic clients, as well as a people struggling with their own chronic health challenges. I’ve developed systems and strategies beyond just “teaching an exercise” by educating clients on how to trust their own bodies, letting intuition be the guide, and learning how to pick the best workouts that will help improve their health.
I love celebrating all the hurdles I get to watch my clients overcome!
It’s a joy to help others gain the benefits of improved posture, and healthy movement habits with Pilates, foot fitness, and the functional movement systems I teach. Beyond movement the mind-body connection is so powerful. It’s a blessing that I can share my experiences with my Health Coaching clients for things in life that are beyond exercise but integral for wellness.
A Wealth of Knowledge
The Importance of Foot Fitness
As an advocate for better foot fitness, I created the Super Ankles Foot-Fit Board Workout, and the RunFit Kit System, and believes that building a strong foundation of understanding and body awareness is key to fine-tuning fitness and maximizing benefits from every exercise, sport, and athletic endeavor.
Remember that degenerative arthritis issue in my ankles… Well I’m now 35 years on the other side of that diagnosis, and my feet feel great! I can run, walk, hop, dance, and have zero foot pain. There is so much that we CAN do to improve our whole-body health. It’s finding the right mentors and being patient through the body’s process of healing and learning new habits for better health.

Changing Lives
My goal is to share my experiences, expertise, systems, techniques, tips, exercises, and wellness success strategies to change lives – one brain, and body at a time – with a focus on reducing and/or eliminating chronic pain, improving body mechanics, and mentoring the development of healthy habits for wellness of both mind and body! I hope you can find something of value to you at Centerworks® to assist you on your journey to achieve personal wellness. Please let me know how I can be of service to support you.
Peace & Blessings,
Aliesa George, NCPT | Founder of Centerworks® and Bodhi Body Pilates
