Linnea Rothenmaier

Linnea is the owner and founder of Limber Arts. She is a rehabilitative Pilates instructor and personal trainer with nearly 20 years of teaching experience. She is a retired competitive athlete and circus performer who enjoys working with recovering fitness addicts, weekend warriors, injured yogis, and anyone who needs more loving kindness in their movement practice. Above all else, she believes that movement is medicine and strives to teach from a place of whole-heartedness and inclusivity, working with each individual in a unique and respectful manner. In addition to being a personal trainer and comprehensively certified Pilates instructor, Linnea has specialized skills and experience in Anatomy in Motion (AiM), Rocktape performance taping, and Pilates for scoliosis. Linnea looks closely at the feet and the gait cycle (walking) as a way to assess and properly rehabilitate the structural alignment of the entire body. She has helped thousands of clients from post-rehab to advanced athlete. In addition to working directly with clients, Linnea is excited to be expanding her offerings to support and mentor other instructor/trainers as they gain confidence, skill, and knowledge as a coach.

Valerie Demattei-Selby
Valerie is the Client Services and Operations Coordinator at Limber Arts. She is a planner and organizer to her core and is very excited to lend her talents to a fabulous woman-owned business in downtown Olympia! She will greet you with a smiling face and make sure all your bookings are in order. Behind the scenes, she is helping to ensure that everything is running smoothly and safely.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Valerie and her family relocated to Olympia about 3 years ago and absolutely love it here! When Valerie isn’t working at Limber Arts, she is spending time with her family, in her garden, or painting.
Valerie was an athlete when she was school-aged, and a Latin dancer and yogi through her 20s. Now in her 30s, mom-life has taken over! She is looking forward to utilizing Pilates and personal training through Limber Arts to help gain back her strength, especially in her core, after delivering her daughter via cesarean section. Look out for her story as a case study for Limber Arts in the future!
