Susan “Lily” Hollister, Owner/Master Trainer
Lily is a certified STOTT™ Pilates Master Instructor who began her training career at the STOTT Pilates Boston Certification Center, under Master Trainer PJ O’Clair. She is certified on all levels, and fully certified in Injury and Special Populations.
With a BFA in Arts Management (emphasis in Dance/Choreography) from Boston’s Emerson College, extensive graduate course work in Dance Movement Therapy from Lesley University in Cambridge, M.A., and copious classes/experience in physical therapy & nursing, Lily set out to train independently in various locations in Europe (Spain, The Netherlands), and across the United States (Boston, NY/NJ, SF Bay, Austin, Orlando, Maine).
She is a certified NIA instructor, who has practiced guided expressive movement for more than 20 years. She is the founder of NIR (Nerve Impulse Redirection), a technique that re-awakens nerves in once “dormant”, unused muscles, to create stronger and more even muscle functioning.
In addition to her groundbreaking work with NIR, Lily regularly attends fitness and Pilates conferences in the U.S. to advance her understanding of the human body, its movement, and healing potential. She takes pride in the precision of her corrections to achieve the body’s ultimate balance.
