Pilates Instructor
I’m a Pilates lover who has been in the fitness industry for 16 years, having completed my bachelor degree in Exercise & Sport science back in 2008. I have always been passionate about mind, body & wellness and I also hold diploma of remedial massage which gives the opportunity to work hands on when it comes to bring the best results for the body. I’m a wife and a mother of a wonderful girl. When I’m not teaching you will find me at home with my beagles and my beautiful family. I cannot start my day without a coffee… it just makes me 100 times nicer! What I love about Pilates is the way it makes me feel after class. There is no other exercise that makes me feel challenged but also stretched at the same time. During my classes I like to push my clients and make sure they are getting the most out of the class. I also love everything about technique and quality of movement. I’m always making sure my clients have the correct form since each movement in Pilates is so targeted and precise; one small adjustment makes a lot of a difference. Everyone should feel accomplished after one of my classes!
