HI, I’M KIRSTY
ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
As a Pilates instructor with over 10 years of teaching experience and a background in dance, I am passionate about helping my clients achieve balance, strength, and flexibility and firmly believe that movement is the key to a happy, healthy life.
After obtaining my Diploma in Dance, I came to the realisation that the highly competitive world of dance did not bring me happiness. Instead, I found myself drawn to Pilates, a practice I had initially taken up to complement my dance training but quickly fell in love with. Through Pilates, I not only enhanced my physical abilities but also discovered a newfound sense of balance and wellbeing. What began as a personal journey for strength and flexibility soon evolved into a deep desire to share the transformative benefits of Pilates with others.
Completed a Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre from SLP College, exposing me to the transformative power of movement and establishing the foundation for my holistic approach to movement-based practices.

Drawing from my background in dance, I bring a unique perspective to my Pilates practice as I understand the intricacies of the body and how movement can be both therapeutic and transformative. My goal as an instructor is to help clients achieve their fitness goals and empower them to live healthier, more connected lives.
At the heart of my teaching practice is a deep commitment to my clients, taking the time to get to know them as individuals and listening to their unique goals and concerns. From there, I tailor custom workouts designed to challenge and inspire, ensuring that every session is uniquely beneficial to them, bringing them back into balance with the full potential of their bodies.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, seeking to improve your athletic performance, navigating the changes of pregnancy, or simply looking to enhance your overall wellbeing, I am here to support you on your journey.

This certification deepened my expertise in guiding women through pregnancy and postpartum, equipping me to design tailored programs that address their physical and emotional needs, empowering them during this transformative phase.
