my teaching profile
BComm
Co-founder & teacher, Pilates BodyTree
Co-founder & educator, BodyTree Academy
Co-founder, BodyTree Group
I started practicing Pilates out of curiosity when I was 18 years old. My personal practice has seen me through major transitions, including becoming a mother.
I have a special interest in working with women and the female body, particularly through transformations like pregnancy, postpartum & motherhood, hysterectomy, peri-menopause/menopause. I do my best to teach through trauma-aware lens and meet you where you are.
​
I am very privileged to have studied with Pilates Elder Ron Fletcher (1921-2011) from 2004, and my approach is also influenced and inspired complementary schools of thought and teachers (see full list below).
Apart from teaching clients, I also mentor students and newer teachers. 2024 marks my 20th year of teaching, and the 12th anniversary of Pilates BodyTree.
