Pilates is for every body
Pilates has been a part of my life for 15 years — and couldn’t imagine a well-lived life without it.
It has transformed me, not only physically but mentally, teaching me how to live more intentionally in my body and move with purpose. Pilates is a powerful, functional fitness method that supports all bodies — regardless of age, shape, or size.
My journey began during a time of chronic, debilitating back pain. On a friend’s recommendation, I started private sessions — and what began as a path to recovery became a passion. I learned how to shed unhealthy movement patterns, breathe with intent, and cultivate a deeper mind-body connection. Very quickly, Pilates became more than just exercise — it became a calling. Eight years ago, that calling turned into a career.
As a teacher, I’m deeply passionate about creating a nurturing space where clients feel supported, safe, and seen. My goal is to guide each individual on their own unique Pilates journey, meeting them where they are and helping them move toward their goals with confidence.
With a background in music, I see Pilates as an art form — one that, with consistent practice, not only strengthens the body but also reshapes how we think and feel within it. I draw inspiration from a wide spectrum of Pilates styles, from classical to contemporary, always honouring the roots of the method while staying excited for where it’s headed.
I am a comprehensively certified instructor including Beginner- Intermediate - and Advanced Mat Work, Reformer, Pilates Cadillac, Pilates Accessories, Rotation for Scoliosis and Sport all accredited by the Pilates Academy SA.
