Shape Shifters Pilates and Health Studio's founder, Terra Khemiri, had to face one of her worst fears as a parent: her son developed a medical condition. When he was 6, his doctors discovered that his bone growth was a year and a half behind the normal rate, and they couldn’t explain it. That’s when Terra decided to take matters into her own hands, and she began studying the content of the foods he was eating. She found an alarming number of additives in the form of artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. When Terra eliminated these additives from her son’s diet, his condition slowly disappeared.

In addition to her nutritional knowledge, her background in rehabilitative massage, homeopathy, and Pilates led her to teach others how to take control of their own wellness at her studio, Shape Shifters. She has developed a program that combines Pilates, nutrition counseling, and therapeutic massage, designed for clients ranging from teen athletes to seniors. She helps rehabilitate those recovering from surgery, and she accommodates expectant mothers by addressing hormonal shifts and giving them the strength to pry their tyke from the vicious stork’s clutches.
