Who I Am
Kacie Devaney is a master Pilates trainer, choreographer, and multidisciplinary movement artist with over twenty years of professional experience teaching and creating at the intersection of body, mind, and creative expression.
Her work is rooted in a rich international background, having studied and performed professionally in New York City, Paris, and Los Angeles. As a choreographer and performing artist, Kacie has spent decades developing original dance and theatrical works, bringing a refined artistic sensibility and intuitive intelligence to every aspect of her teaching.
For over twenty years, Kacie has taught Pilates, dance, movement therapy, breathwork, and meditation to diverse populations across the globe. Her teaching spans private in-home clients, corporate wellness programs, schools, universities, community centers, and healthcare-adjacent settings. She has worked extensively with children, teens, adults, seniors, professional performers, and individuals navigating injury, recovery, and life transitions—including pre- and post-natal care.
Kacie spent six years as an in-home wellness coach for Blue Shield of California, supporting employee health through personalized movement, stress reduction, and mind-body integration. She has also taught within university dance and theater programs and at cultural institutions such as the Jewish Community Center, offering accessible yet deeply informed practices for whole-body wellbeing.
She holds a BFA from The American University of Paris in French Literature and Theatre Studies, and her lifelong devotion to writing, performance, and choreography continues to inform her work. Kacie believes creativity is not separate from wellness—it is essential to it. This philosophy shapes her highly individualized approach, blending technical precision with intuition, artistry, and nervous system awareness.
Kacie is certified through Balanced Body, NAFTA, ACE, CPR, and Redcord Therapy, and has trained extensively with leading Pilates and dance educators in Paris and New York City. She is known for her ability to work skillfully with all body types, ages, injuries, and wellness goals, meeting each client exactly where they are.
Embody Pilates is the culmination of Kacie’s decades of movement study, creative practice, and global teaching experience—a refined fusion of Pilates, breathwork, embodied awareness, and artistic intelligence. Through private sessions, corporate offerings, and international retreats, she invites clients to reconnect with strength, clarity, resilience, and their most fully embodied selves.
