Why work with Abena

Experience you can trust

Opening a Pilates studio is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your career. Having built and operated boutique Pilates studios in New York City, I understand what it takes to create a business that is both financially sustainable and true to your vision.


My consulting is based on real experience—not theory. I've navigated studio design, equipment selection, hiring, pricing, client retention, operational systems, growth, and the unexpected challenges every studio owner eventually encounters.


My goal is simple:

To help you avoid costly mistakes while building a Pilates studio that reflects your values and supports long-term success.
