A Life in Movement: My Pilates Journey
Growing up in Québec City, Canada, I developed a strong connection to movement through downhill skiing and dance. As a ski instructor, I learned early how to observe bodies in motion and refine technique, a skill that continues to shape how I teach today.
I trained at a professional dance school in Simonson-style jazz and Graham modern dance, where Pilates was part of our foundation. That is where my journey began, with the Hundred and the mat work, long before I understood how deeply this method would influence my life.
After a career in tourism and hospitality in Toronto and with Royal Caribbean, I moved to Melbourne in 2007. Even while working at sea, I stayed connected to Pilates through regular practice, often using Mary Winsor DVDs, drawn to its structure, precision, and the way it builds strength and control.
In Melbourne, I completed my comprehensive certification with Peak Pilates and later became an international Master Instructor. Wanting to deepen my understanding of the original method, I went on to train with Authentic Pilates Education International, where I first certified and later became a mentor and teacher trainer.
Alongside my formal training, I have studied with internationally recognised Pilates teachers, attended international conferences in Italy and Morocco, and teach professional workshops for instructors. Ongoing learning is a core part of my work and continues to shape how I see and teach movement.
I have also completed further training in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization and foot education, allowing me to approach the body with a more connected and comprehensive perspective.
Over the years, I have learned that progress is not about perfection. It is about consistency, awareness, and the willingness to improve.
Today, I am the owner of ME Pilates Studio in Bentleigh and an active mum of two. I work with clients who want more than just a workout. They want to understand their body, move with purpose, and build strength that carries into everyday life.
Whether you are returning from injury, looking to move better, or wanting to stay strong and capable as you age, my role is to guide you with clarity, precision, and care.
I teach the body in front of me. No two people move the same, and your practice should reflect that.
Pilates is a system that builds strength, resilience, and confidence over time, so you can keep doing what you love, for longer.
