She had discovered Pilates as a form of moving meditation and felt a calling to teach it. 

Amy's transition from her job to starting her own business was driven by multiple factors, including her desire for better work-life balance and the need to care for her son with a rare degenerative neuromuscular disease. She had discovered Pilates as a form of moving meditation and felt a calling to teach it. With a clear vision in mind, Amy made the bold decision to leave her job and enroll in Pilates school, starting her journey towards entrepreneurship.
