Massage Therapist
CORRINE BARRIOS
Pilates & Yoga Instructor
When Corrine first unrolled her yoga mat at 189lbs she felt terrified and self-conscious, not knowing what to expect. After spending years with doctors, medications, and treatments for an auto immune condition, which disrupted her digestive system and life as a whole, she searched high and low for a help and paid a fortune for medications, powders and potions. Yoga was something she had experienced throughout the years, but insisted that running and swimming were exercise, not yoga. Committing to yoga helped Corrine find peace, confidence, strength, and increased flexibility. Another benefit was a an improved digestive system. An ankle injury a few years later led her to Pilates and all of its benefits in the rehab of her ankle. She pursued a Pilates certification at Fullerton College and is now on faculty teaching future Pilates instructors. Her intention is to design safe, fun, and transformative classes and private sessions for students across all levels of experience and to welcome all shapes, sizes with love, acceptance and an open heart.

AALIYAH DIVINAGRACIA
Pilates Instructor
Aaliyah started her Pilates journey as a client, where she fell in love with the way it made her feel. It made her feel stronger, lighter, and more connected to her body. That passion led me to earn a Pilates teaching certificate at Fullerton College in 2024, so she could share it with others. As an instructor, her goal is to create a welcoming space where clients feel supported, successful, and excited to see their progress. She loves celebrating every milestone, big or small, and helping each person grow stronger with every class.
LINDA KAY ARNOLD
Massage Therapist
I recognized the beauty of massage 20 years ago when I was training for marathons and triathlons and was also a single mom of two small kids. It not only reduced my stress which gave me a more nurtured, grounded disposition but also helped me recover from strenuous training and races. It also conditioned my tissues and muscles for any potential injury from overuse plus gave moments of bliss. With this experience, I tailor make each massage that incorporate a number of modalities so that it best suits your needs each time you come to see me. I feel that it’s a luxury but also a necessity for both your emotional and physical health.
BETH M
Pilates Instructor
After years of experiencing a recurring ankle injury, Beth had surgery. Unfortunately, it caused other complications resulting in chronic pain. Looking to doctors to "fix" her so she could get back to normal, she began to realize that she wasn't going to get the results she hoped. She was prescribed multiple medications, causing additional problems, and they didn't reduce her pain. She began to seek alternatives. She had done mat Pilates on DVD and had liked using a Reformer at physical therapy so she searched for a local studio. She began taking classes at Aspire in 2021 and never stopped! She started out shaky, stiff and with little range of motion, but with consistent practice, Pilates made her stronger, more flexible, improved her endurance, and helped her reduce her pain. In addition to the physical benefits, she also feel connected, loved and supported by the Aspire community. Encouraged by the Aspire community, she enrolled at Fullerton College where she received her Pilates Teacher Training Certificate in 2024.
