What drew you to Pilates?
I was drawn to Pilates because of its ability to transform not only the body, but also how people feel within themselves. I love that movement can create strength, awareness, confidence and a deeper connection between body and mind.

​

How do you define your teaching style?
My teaching style is supportive, empowering and detail-oriented. I love helping people feel safe and capable while challenging them in a way that builds strength, confidence and body awareness. I aim to meet people where they are and help them move with purpose.

​

How do you think Pilates can support one’s lifestyle?
Pilates can support everyday life in so many ways... improving posture, strength, mobility and body awareness while helping reduce stress and create more balance. It’s not just about what happens in the studio; it’s about moving better and feeling stronger in daily life.

​

Your go-to strength based Pilates move?
Side Pull-Up on the Chair. I love it because it challenges full-body strength, stability and control while creating a strong sense of connection and empowerment.

​

How should clients feel after your class?
Strong, grounded, energised and more connected to themselves, leaving with a sense that they’ve done something meaningful for both body and mind.
