Daphne Kelman

Pilates Instructor and Reiki/Access Bars Practitioner

Daphne is a Certified Pilates Instructor, specializing in both apparatus and mat work, with extensive experience in rehabilitation for back pain, post-surgical recovery, injuries, and orthopedic and neurological challenges. Daphne also holds a Pink Ribbon Certification for rehabilitation of breast cancer survivors. She holds certifications in both classical and contemporary Pilates and trained at NYU under master teacher Kathy Grant, a protégée of Joseph Pilates.

In addition to her Pilates expertise, Daphne is an experienced Reiki practitioner, providing energy healing for clients of all ages. She has worked extensively with cancer patients in hospital settings, offering compassionate care and support. Having practiced Pilates in both New Jersey and Israel—where she calls home—Daphne conducts sessions in both English and Hebrew.

She also specializes in Access Bars, a gentle energy-healing technique in which practitioners apply light pressure to 32 specific points on the head. This method helps release energy blockages that may contribute to stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, physical pain, or other negative emotions. Similar to acupressure but gentler, Access Bars promotes deep relaxation and overall well-being.
