about me

My name is Kiara Childs. I began my Pilates practice during her PhD program in Communications at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Balancing multiple jobs and sitting in front of a computer to write her dissertation left her stressed and tight — but I always left pilates sessions feeling rejuvenated and calm. After completing my program and moving back to Milwaukee, I decided to pursue the Peak Pilates instructor program at Kinetic MKE. I enjoy introducing beginners to the classical system, helping clients overcome their “fear” of the apparatus, and achieving the bliss I felt after sessions during her program. When I’m not servicing clients, I enjoy being an independent research scholar, matcha snob, trying out chocolate chip cookie recipes, and consuming all things pop culture/TikTok.
