Meet Our Instructors
Mariann Doherty Conlon
Senior Instructor
Availability - Wednesdays, 9:00am - 3:00pm
Mariann possesses a vast knowledge of anatomy, body mechanics, wellness, holistic health, nutrition and mindfulness. She has gathered this knowledge as a Registered Nurse, Medical Malpractice Attorney, Holistic Health Coach, and Mindfulness Mentor. Mariann became certified by the Kinected School of Core Integration to teach both comprehensive therapeutic Mat Pilates and Equipment Pilates. Mariann discovered classical Pilates 12 years ago and enjoyed the core strength and muscle lengthening a regular practice provided. Recently, a chronic shoulder condition and an acute Achilles injury landed her in a surgeon’s office. Mariann elected to decline a surgical fix but instead embarked on a journey of Functional Physical Therapy, Therapeutic Pilates and Mindful living. During that journey of healing, Mariann became convinced that her passion for sharing wellness, mindfulness and healing could best be shared with others by teaching the Kelly Kane Therapeutic Pilates Method.
Matt McCulloch
Kinected Co-Founder
Availability - Mondays, 8:30am - 3:00pm
Matt McCulloch is an educator of fitness and movement professionals, co-founder of Kinected and co-director of the Kane School as well as co-director of the FAMI and FAMI – Level Two workshops. A classically trained dancer, he began studying Pilates over 20 years ago to rehabilitate a knee injury following 4 separate knee surgeries. He is trained in both original and contemporary approaches and over the past 15 years, he has educated hundreds of fitness professionals. Matt’s passion for movement and pilates has been the resource for creating many workshops and teaching tools for movement professionals. These workshops emphasize proper biomechanics and creative progressions and modifications based on the original Pilates repertoire. The wide range of workshops he has created are designed to focus on various injuries, joint replacements, additional orthopedic injuries, and special populations such as the young athlete with developmental issues as well as neurological issues.
Joana Meneses
Senior Instructor
Availability - Fridays, 8:30am to 1:30pm
Joana’s motto is simple. “No breath or movement wasted.” As a 20+ year full-time Fitness Pro, she strives to combine movement in ways that make you forget you’re working. You have enough jobs. To her, movement is poetry and every BODY should have the honor of writing it’s own. Always grateful, but endlessly hungry for growth and new challenges, she invests in her craft by seeking out and training with the top coaches in the fitness & wellness industry. Her goal is to teach all she’s learned to every class and client, regardless of level of experience, how to move safely and efficiently. She continues to evolve to effortlessly layer basic anatomical principles with every posture through intelligent individual regressions and progressions. Clients are not only left balanced between strength and stretch but most importantly, left connected, educated and injury-free.
