Fe Dolor

Since 2004, Fe Dolor has been teaching Pilates in studios, corporate fitness centers, and community colleges in the Portland metro area. She left Portland a little over 2 years ago to teach in Latin America and Southeast Asia.

She has an evolved approach to Pilates instruction that goes beyond a list followed through in a specific order. By focusing on the goals of her clients and taking into account the uniqueness of everyone's bodies, she is able to find creative solutions to meet everyone's needs. As someone that has struggled with scoliosis, she is a testament to the power and effectiveness of Pilates.

Aside from Pilates, she also does running, cycling, hiking, yoga, and volunteer work.

Pamela Orser

Pamela has lived in Sellwood for over 20 years with her husband and their two daughters. In her words, “I am a Fitness Trainer who believes that we all need a fitness regime that we can adhere to for a lifetime; because that is what we have, a lifetime to remain functional and happy. During junior college I taught aerobics classes and decided to turn fitness into a career decision.

I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Fitness Management degree. I have since been a Personal Fitness Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor; teaching classes that include Fit Camp Portland, Indoor Cycling, The Lift, X-Training and SeniorSneakers, to name a few. I have developed a circuit type workout called “F.I.T” (Functional Interval Training) that includes multi-joint movement as well as balance and cardio for the busy, focused individual that likes to get the most out of the minutes invested in their workout.

Over the years I’ve enjoyed running a few marathons, the Hood to Coast, Portland to Coast, Dragon Boat races, and even a snow shoe race. I love hiking with my family as well as putting on a wets suit and getting on a boogie board at the coast. My philosophy is that one should be fit enough to pursue any activity that one wishes; to be able to peruse desired activities with confidence, and to have a little extra physical strength, balance and endurance for insurance.”

Deborah Bayardino

My interest and passion has been to research methods and techniques that can be used as tools in overcoming physical and emotional challenges in daily life.

My training as a teacher of the Alexander Technique was completed in 2010 after three years (1,600 hours) of study at the Oregon Center for the Alexander Technique-OCAT (Portland,OR - USA) which is recognized by the American Association of The Alexander Technique (AmSAT).

I hold Bachelors degrees in Social Communication from University Center of Brasilia and Technical degree in Contemporary Dance in Brazil from School of Angel Vianna.

Before going through this training, I dedicated myself for many years to the re-educational movement field, to dance and to Pilates. I am member of the Alexander Technique American Association (AmSAT-USA), the Alexander Technique Brazilian Association (ABTA-Brazil) and I am "Friend" of The Society of Teacher of The Alexander Technique (STAT-UK).

I look forward to working with you!
