About Your Teacher

“My mission is to help women love their bodies and align with their power.”

As a certified Pilates instructor, movement educator, personal trainer, posture alignment specialist and wellness coach, Debbie Lichter uses her trained ability to tap into what your body and soul needs in order to get you the results you want.

Debbie discovered Pilates in 2002, while working in Cape Town, South Africa, for COSMOPOLITAN™ magazine; the premier SA magazine for the Fun, Fearless Female™. The combination of working in a female-empowering environment while practicing Pilates shaped her experience. And it sparked her desire to empower to other women through Pilates. Upon her return to The United States in 2005, she transformed her mission into a career.

Debbie received her STOTT PILATES™ certification in 2006 and has helped hundreds of women and men get stronger, more aware of their bodies and feel more confident in life and fitness. She has worked in many facets of the health & fitness industry, but her passion still lies in teaching Pilates and helping women use the principles of Pilates to lead more confident and empowered lifestyles. Her unique mission has blossomed into a special style of training that adds new layers of depth and transformational results that keep her clients stimulated in body, mind and soul. Debbie currently instructs privately and semi-privately in her studio, and teaches small and large groups for female empowerment workshops and special events.

Debbie graduated magna cum laude from UCLA in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature. And since then, she has worked in the fields of PR, staffing, sales, publishing, brand management and fitness. She is also a STOTT Certified Pilates Instructor, NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer, Egoscue Method Posture Alignment Specialist, a member of the IDEA fitness association and a member of the Todd Durkin Platinum Mastermind group.
