About me….

Find me at 6/1412 Logan Road Mt Gravatt (entrance on Selborne Street). Private lessons in studio or online available for booking now.

I have been teaching pilates since 2004, training comprehensively in the method (all equipment) and completing a number of contemporary certifications over the years, including Pilates ITC and Polestar. I am passionate about maintaining high standards of teaching and training in the industry and love working with students and mentoring instructors on their Pilates teaching journey. I am proudly part of the Pilates ITC Queensland education team, and regular deliver training from the Brisbane host studio Movement Principle.

My other love is dance, and as the in-house Pilates Instructor for Queensland Ballet I work with professional dancers helping them recover from injury, manage their busy workloads and use strength and conditioning protocols to improve performance and reduce injury risks. I love working with dancers of all ages, and also with dance teachers and ex-dancers as they navigate the different stages of life.

Over the years I have worked with a vast range of clients, including children, adolescents and adults in all stages of life including many in their 80s and 90s. I have had particular success with adults managing chronic health conditions such as hypermobility, hEDS, scoliosis and arthritis, and have many long term clients who have found great improvements in their quality of life through pilates, after decades of chronic pain and limited progression with standard health care or group pilates. I am confident working with injuries, pre- and post-surgery, pre- and post-natal and neurodivergent populations. I use my training in Strength and Conditioning to inform my management of elite athletes, active work professionals and performing artists.

I am available for private lessons in my Mt Gravatt studio, virtual private lessons by video call, guest teaching, workshops, and mentoring and coaching.

Get in touch, I’d love to chat!
