Move from achy to active
Movement, mindset, and meditation to help you feel better, stay active, and get back into your life.
Gentle, guided Pilates with Tabitha Green for people living with chronic pain, chronic illness, POTS, hypermobility and fatigue. Online from home, or in person on Chicago’s North Shore.
You want to move… but your body doesn’t
If you live with chronic illness, POTS, hypermobility, or fatigue, you’ve probably tried to exercise, only to feel worse afterward.
Maybe it started with an illness, an injury, or symptoms no one could explain. Going from doctor to doctor searching for answers, and being offered antidepressants instead of real solutions. Navigating chronic pain, exhaustion, and the feeling that your body no longer works the way it used to. Pushing through the fog just to get through the day, missing moments, and feeling like your body has become the enemy.
Pushing harder hasn’t worked. Moving with your body, at its pace, can.
A gentle path back to the life you want
Strength isn’t the goal on its own. It’s what lets you carry the laundry upstairs, travel, play with your kids, and say yes to plans again. Every session is designed to help you move safely and feel confident in your body, without exhaustion or flare-ups.

For me, your progress is personal
If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance you’re living with a chronic condition. I’m guessing that, like me, you’re tired of being held back by your symptoms. You want to feel better in your body, regain confidence in daily tasks, and live a full life again.
Having battled with chronic pain for years, I knew I needed a new approach. What started as a personal roadmap to break that cycle has grown into a mission to help others do the same, making Pilates accessible and sustainable for anyone, no matter where they’re starting from.

Tabitha is lovely. She explains movement in a way that makes sense to me. The way we work together allows me to do exercises safely between sessions on my own. She truly keeps me fit and ache free. What she teaches goes beyond exercise and I feel the benefits in my overall wellbeing. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Before working with Tabitha, I was completely locked up. The entire right side of my body was rigid and stiff. Tabitha took things as slowly as I needed, changed position as often as necessary to keep from making my symptoms worse, and was patient and supportive about working through my pain. I’m so appreciative of her and Achy to Active for helping me get to the other side of my symptoms and actually begin to build strength! Tabitha was a key part of my recovery process.
