I work with clients in 3-month immersive containers

Real transformation requires time for your nervous system to integrate new patterns. Three months gives us space to address root causes—not just symptoms—and for you to experience lasting change in your body and life.

Core Matter Studio:

The private teaching practice of Margaret Bennett, an advanced practitioner with over 7,000 hours of transformational 1:1 work.

What you'll experience:

High-level, hands-on body-mind-movement training that goes far beyond Pilates. Margaret draws from multiple modalities to help you cultivate connection, sensory awareness, stability, function, and embodied presence.

Sessions often include intuitive healing work—releasing patterns that no longer serve you and creating deeper balance and ease in your body and life.

Margaret teaches from a trauma-informed, nervous-system-first perspective—because everyone's body holds patterns from their lived experience. She collaborates with other practitioners when needed to support deep, lasting transformation.

What becomes possible:

You'll resolve issues you've carried for years. Gain tools that elevate your ability and health. Discover capacities in your body you didn't know existed.

Working with Margaret is like discovering that while you've been using algebra to navigate life, your body can actually do calculus.

Personalized Services

Embark on a transformative journey with Core Matter Studio. I specialize in creating tailored programs that cater to your unique needs and goals. Whether in-studio or online, I work closely with you to craft a tangible path towards personal well being.

Holistic Approach

At Core Matter Studio, I believe that lasting change happens when we tend to all the layers of who you are. Together, we explore the nervous system, strength and movement, connective tissue, internal blocks, and lifestyle patterns — weaving together the physical, emotional, and behavioral dimensions of your well-being into one cohesive, personalized journey.

Empowering Sessions

Experience empowering  sessions that range from coaching to Pilates to somatic awareness or nervous system training designed to unlock your full potential. As your dedicated practitioner, I create a supportive, directive and nurturing environment where you can explore, grow, shed and experience MORE of the good stuff. I am highly skilled at crafting new exercise or approaches that give you the feedback your system needs to uplevel.

Transformative Journey

Give yourself the structure  for transformational growth. We work in 3-month containers, each consisting of 24 hours of dedicated 1:1 time — structured in whatever way best supports your process. That might look like weekly sessions, an immersive deep-dive, short check-ins between bigger sessions, or any combination that serves where you are and where you're headed. Expect a Journey in which you can experience  breakthroughs and lasting change.
