Summary

I am a certified Pilates Instructor with over 2 years of experience teaching both mat and reformer Pilates, blending classical principles with clinical and contemporary techniques. Skilled in working with a wide range of clients with different needs, including beginners, athletes, seniors, and those in rehabilitation. I have additional training in pelvic floor health, prenatal and postnatal care, and HIIT/barre classes. This enhances my ability to offer tailored, effective sessions depending on the clientele. With a strong background in customer service and client-facing roles from my past corporate work experience, I bring excellent communication, empathy and professionalism to every session. Known for being motivated, positive and outgoing, I strive to create an inclusive environment where every client feels seen, supported and empowered in their wellness journey!
