A Q&A With Drift Method Mobile Reformer Pilates
Tell us your backstory: What was your path to owning a business in Del Mar Village? Did you grow up here? Why did you choose Del Mar Village to set up shop?
I didn't grow up in Del Mar, but after spending time in Southern California, I fell in love with the lifestyle and sense of community here. My background is in Health and Exercise Science and corporate wellbeing, and I've spent my career helping people move with more intention, confidence, and balance.
I discovered reformer Pilates while training for marathons and immediately connected with how it combined strength, mindful movement, and injury prevention. After years of teaching and managing studios, I had the idea to create something that didn't yet exist in San Diego—a luxury mobile reformer Pilates experience that could meet people wherever they are.
Del Mar felt like the perfect home for Drift Method Pilates. It embodies everything our brand stands for: wellness, community, outdoor living, and a beautifully intentional pace of life.
Tell us about your business. What should people know about it? What makes it unique?
Drift Method Pilates is San Diego's first luxury mobile reformer Pilates studio. We bring a fully equipped reformer Pilates experience directly to homes, hotels, vacation rentals, private events, and corporate gatherings.
What makes us unique is that we're removing the barriers to movement. Instead of commuting to a studio, we bring the studio to you. Every experience is thoughtfully curated from custom playlists and aromatherapy towels to personalized class formats so clients can enjoy studio-quality Pilates wherever they are.
Our mission is simple: wellness should meet you where you are.
What is one menu item or product you are most known for or is particularly special to you?
Our signature offering is our Mobile Reformer Experience. Seeing eight reformers set up outdoors whether at a private residence, a hotel lawn, or overlooking the coast is truly magical.
I especially love our private group experiences for celebrations and retreats because they create connection and allow people to slow down and move together in a beautiful setting.
Tell us one fun fact about your business most people don't know.
The idea for Drift Method actually came to me during my own bachelorette weekend in Texas. I saw a mobile business concept and immediately thought, "Why can't reformer Pilates travel too?"
I went home, started researching, and realized there wasn't anything quite like it in San Diego. That little spark eventually became Drift Method Pilates.
What do you love about Del Mar Village?
I love how Del Mar feels both elevated and incredibly welcoming. There's a genuine sense of community here. People prioritize wellness, spend time outdoors, support local businesses, and embrace a slower, more intentional lifestyle.
Whether it's grabbing coffee, walking by the ocean, or running into familiar faces around town, Del Mar has a way of making everyday moments feel special.
How would you spend the perfect day in Del Mar? Where would you go? What would you eat or do?
The perfect day starts with coffee from Little Joy Coffee and a morning walk with our dogs through the Village and down to Powerhouse Park.
On Saturdays, we'd stop by the Del Mar Farmers Market to pick up fresh vegetables and local goodies to grill at home later. In the afternoon, I'd head to the beach or spend time with friends and family, and if there's a big game on, you'll usually find us at Monarch Ocean Pub. And no perfect Del Mar day is complete without ending it with a scoop of gelato from An's Hatmakers.
It's simple, relaxed, and everything I love about living here.
