My Story
I have always had a love of exercise and fitness, and the great outdoors. From 100km bike rides, running half marathons, duathlons, triathlons, hiking and wading through croc swamp, deadlifting 100kg, climbing mountains, to parasailing and soaring over the treetops (I admit I was strapped to a flying fox) but it was quite a rush. I love a great adventure and keeping active.
After recovering from surgery on a bulging disc, I was quite anxious getting back into exercising, with a fear of injuring myself again. But to keep moving was the best thing for me, (mostly) mentally and physically, and this is where my Pilates journey began. Pilates was in fact, recommended to me by my surgeon. I have become stronger in my body and core since beginning, which keeps me moving freely..
I fell in love with the Pilates method so much that I became qualified to instruct it. I am now able to help others become stronger and more confident in themselves when it comes to moving their body. Not only has Pilates helped me physically, but also helps to clear my mind. It has become my daily practise to give my body the attention it deserves.
