EVE

Growing up in the suburbs of Québec City, Canada, I was an active child, but my two greatest passions were downhill skiing and dance. I learned to teach movement as a ski instructor, closely observing bodies in motion and discovering how to improve technique and performance. If only I had known, then what I know now about movement!

From a young age, I trained at a professional dance school, immersed in Simonson-style jazz and Graham modern dance. My jazz teacher, trained in New York and Broadway, included Pilates in our warm-ups—where my journey with the Hundred and mat exercises began. Later, I discovered Martha Graham had studied with Joseph Pilates, explaining the familiar movements I’d always loved.

Although I loved dance, I pursued a career in tourism and hospitality, working in luxury hotels in Toronto and later for Royal Caribbean. Onboard, I kept up my Pilates practice with Mary Winsor DVDs, rekindling my love for structured, flowing movement and the exercises I’d done as a dancer.

In 2007, I moved to Melbourne and began attending Reformer sessions at a gym. My instructors suggested I consider teaching, and at a time when I was ready for a career change, I completed comprehensive training with Peak Pilates. A few years later, I became a Peak Pilates’ international Master Instructor.

Pilates is a lifelong journey, and my curiosity has always driven me to go deeper. I joined the Authentic Pilates Education International (APEI) community, and after qualifying, I became the principal mentor for APEI’s Melbourne apprentices and a teacher trainer. My learning journey continues to evolve, and in recent years, I’ve also completed additional movement trainings, including DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) and EBFA foot education.

Movement has always brought me joy, and Pilates finally became my calling. It is my happy place, alongside skiing. I thrive on learning more, deepening my knowledge, and helping clients move better, get stronger, and improve their overall wellbeing. Pilates is a journey that never ends—it enhances life.

I often think of Joseph Pilates as a movement genius, the “Albert Einstein” of movement. I wonder if he ever read this quote by Einstein, which perfectly reflects the philosophy of Pilates:

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you MUST keep moving."
