Meet the Founder

Ilene Morris White

Founder | Perfectly Balanced Pilates

Ilene Morris White is the founder of Perfectly Balanced Pilates and brings more than 26 years of experience in personal training and therapeutic rehabilitation, along with over 15 years specializing in Pilates instruction. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology from Temple University and has dedicated her career to helping people restore movement, strength, and confidence in their bodies through intelligent, personalized exercise.

Ilene is a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor through Polestar Pilates, completing an intensive rehabilitation-based training program covering the full Pilates apparatus. She is also a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT) through the Pilates Method Alliance, one of the most recognized professional standards in the Pilates industry.

Her teaching focuses on therapeutic and rehabilitation-based Pilates, working with individuals recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or living with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke recovery. To deepen her expertise in this area, Ilene completed Advanced Pilates training for neurological conditions, expanding her ability to help clients improve mobility, stability, and quality of life.

After experiencing a car accident in her teens that left her with a neck injury from double whip lash and vestibular issues later in life , she found Pilates to be her saving grace.

That experience continues to shape her philosophy today: movement is one of the most powerful tools for healing when guided with knowledge, care, and precision.

Before founding Perfectly Balanced Pilates, Ilene also founded Newtown Health & Wellness Center, where she developed an integrated approach combining Pilates rehabilitation, personal training, chiropractic care, and bodywork to support clients recovering from injury and striving for long-term wellness.

At Perfectly Balanced Pilates, Ilene brings that same philosophy into a focused studio environment dedicated primarily to private and duet Pilates sessions, where every client receives individualized attention and a program designed specifically for their body.

Her mission is simple:
to help every client move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in their body through safe, intelligent movement.
