As the second part of EWDD’s AANHPI History Month series, we’re proud to highlight Charlotte Gatmaitan, owner and founder of Sorrel Studio LLC.
As a Los Angeles native of Filipino descent, Gatmaitan was inspired to create a Pilates studio that reflected the kind of space she had always envisioned, one rooted in wellness, community, and accessibility. Gatmaitan’s goal was to bring a thoughtful, welcoming fitness experience to Fairfax while contributing to the city Gatmaitan has long called home.
With support from the PACE BusinessSource Center, Gatmaitan secured a small business loan that helped turn her vision into reality. Today, Sorrel Studio stands as a reflection of Gatmaitan’s passion and a great example of how local entrepreneurs are shaping LA’s small business landscape.
Though this feature completes EWDD’s AANHPI History Month series, EWDD encourages the support of all locally owned AANHPI businesses year round.

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.

Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
