After more than 20 years working behind a desk in the corporate world, I struggled with constant lower back pain. On my physiotherapist’s advice, I tried Pilates to strengthen my back and core — and it changed my life.

 

Not being a fan of the gym, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed and benefited from Pilates. Over time, I realised I could combine my love of teaching with my passion for Pilates.

 

In 2012, I qualified as a Pilates Mat Instructor through HFPA, and soon after gained valuable experience at Perfect Pilates Studio under the guidance of Kerryn, whose support gave me the confidence to open my own studio in 2013.

Pilates 4 You was born.

 

I continued my studies, completing Intermediate Reformer training in 2014 and, in 2021, the Comprehensive Pilates course with Trifocus Fitness Academy.

 

When I’m not teaching or studying, you’ll often find me hiking with our three fur babies in the Clarens Conservancy, camping, climbing, or enjoying the outdoors.
