I have been teaching Pilates for over six years and practicing it myself for more than a decade. I’m passionate about Pilates and all things health and wellness. I truly believe Pilates is for everyone—and that it has the power to change your life for the better in so many ways. Outside the studio, I love avocado sushi, bunnies, the countryside, red wine, and peppermint tea. My husband, our two children, and I live in Ponsonby. When we’re not at home gardening, my favourite place to be is in the South Island, where we spend as much time together as possible.

I was first introduced to Pilates at age nine during my career in elite sport, using it as a tool to reconnect and realign with my body. Over time, it became integral to my performance, recovery, and longevity—and ultimately, something I deeply fell in love with. Reformer Pilates continues to inspire me for its intelligent approach to building strength, balance, and body awareness.

With an extensive background in movement and wellness, I bring a strength-focused, intentional energy to every class. Expect mindful, challenging sessions that leave you feeling strong, connected, and elevated—it’s a privilege to guide you through them.

I love a Pilates class that leaves me feeling longer and stronger than when I arrived, so I always plan my classes to deliver on both of those points! You’ll see plenty of strong and long lunge and plank sets from me.

When I’m not teaching Pilates, I’m running a women’s nutrition and wellness consultancy. I love supporting people in all aspects of their health—from movement to nourishment and everything in between!

I’m a passionate and experienced movement teacher with a background not just in Pilates, but also in yoga, breathwork, and meditation. My classes blend strength, control, and mindfulness—specifically designed to support both physical and mental wellbeing. When I’m not in the studio, you’ll likely find me on the golf course, which is why I’m especially excited to be leading the Golf Reformer Series at AJP. This series offers a fun, functional approach to movement that helps golfers feel stronger, more mobile, and more in control—both on and off the course.

With a background in ballet, Pilates felt like a natural next step for me. I was drawn to the way it blended movement and mindfulness, which led me to begin teaching barre and reformer Pilates.

What I love most about teaching is the energy and sense of community in the room—especially when you’re doing those last 8 pulses! Outside Pilates and my desk job, you’ll find me at the beach, exploring new wine bars, or planning my next overseas adventure.

I have enjoyed doing Pilates since 2017, drawn to how it challenges you during class but leaves you feeling stronger and more aligned afterwards. It’s helped me tremendously with posture and overall well-being, and now, as an instructor, I’m excited to help others feel the same benefits. Outside of my 9–5 and the Pilates studio, I love catching up with friends and bonding over music and films with some good food.

My Pilates journey began through my work as a physiotherapist. I was constantly looking for ways to help my clients move with more ease, feel stronger, and prevent injury—and I kept coming back to recommending Pilates.

What started as a clinical tool quickly became something I personally loved and believed in. It’s such an intelligent, effective method. In my spare time… I’m cooking, taking French lessons or planning my next trip.
