About The Pilates Apothecary

The Pilates Apothecary is a queer-owned studio crafting bespoke pilates sessions that center your unique goals, body, and lived experience. Rooted in the belief that movement should be a joyful, accessible, and empowering part of life, our studio was designed to break down the barriers that often exist in traditional wellness spaces.

We offer 1:1 private sessions in a welcoming environment free of judgment whether you're new to pilates, returning after time away, or seeking a deeper connection to your body. Our approach blends movement with mindfulness and honors the healing power of nature—right down to the medicinal plants that infuse our experience. At The Pilates Apothecary, we believe that everyone deserves access to movement that heals.

About
Ashley Weber

Ashley Weber (she/her) is the founder and lead instructor of The Pilates Apothecary. Her pilates journey began at 19 when she sought to build physical strength and discovered a lifelong practice of dynamic self-care. Since becoming a certified instructor in 2006, Ashley has taught with a focus on biomechanics, posture, and mindful movement, with a special passion for helping beginners feel comfortable on the pilates equipment.

As a queer woman and a Virgo through and through, Ashley brings care, detail, and groundedness into every session. After years of feeling like an outsider in traditional pilates spaces, she opened her own studio in May 2024 to create the inclusive, body-affirming environment she always longed for.

Ashley’s approach is deeply informed by her studies in herbal medicine, her dedication to body inclusivity, and her commitment to community care. She works intentionally to bridge the gap between those who need pilates the most and those who have access—offering a healing, supportive space where movement becomes a tool for connection, empowerment, and joy.
