Phoebe Higgins, PMA Gold Certified, studied and performed with the School of American Ballet, Simonson technique of Jazz Dance and Kevin Wynn Collection, among others. From 1967-68 Phoebe also attended ballet classes taught by Romana Kryzanowska. Phoebe was reintroduced to Romana in 1976 and began studying the Pilates Method to help strengthen a spine weakened by scoliosis. In 1980 Phoebe went to work at the Pilates Studio under Romana's guidance. When that studio closed in 1989 she began work with Dr. Howard Sichel in his chiropractic office. That work evolved into Power Pilates. In 2006, Phoebe left Power Pilates and became a freelancer for both individual sessions and workshops.
