Julieanne Bird

Owner and Founder, Better Day Pilates
Classical Pilates Certification, 2013

Sweet and upbeat Julieanne is a foodie, a level II certified sommelier, and a classically trained Pilates instructor whose favorite pursuits include eating, drinking, and teaching in charming northern California. 

She moved to NYC from Sacramento in 2011, began practicing Pilates that summer, and immediately fell in love with the incredible mind-body connection that it provides. She completed her comprehensive Pilates certification in 2013 at Core Pilates NYC and has been teaching full-time ever since. Julieanne has trained a diverse clientele, ranging from triathletes and professional golfers to prenatal/postnatal moms and individuals navigating post surgery spine/joint rehabilitation. Julieanne’s style of teaching is thoughtful and encouraging and she brings a contemporary approach to her classical training of movement for all bodies.

With a background in wine, culinary arts, and merchandising, Julieanne has followed many different interests but she finds the most happiness working in health and wellness and guiding her wonderful clients through movement for strength, longevity, and enjoyment. Her teaching is cheerful and masterful, and she knows for a fact that Pilates is for all bodies. Hearing her clients rave about no longer being in pain, feeling lighter and more energetic, performing better in their races or sports games, etc is the most rewarding part of teaching at Better Day.

After 12 years of calling Manhattan her home, she has returned to her NorCal roots to share her wealth of teaching experience and build a life here in Folsom with her wife and their pet schnoodle, Mosel.
