Classical Pilates Studio 447-449 South Road, Bentleigh, Vic
Growing up in the suburbs of Québec City, Canada, I was an active child with two great passions: downhill skiing and dance. As a ski instructor, I learned early how to observe bodies in motion and improve technique and performance, skills that still shape my teaching today.
I trained at a professional dance school in Simonson-style jazz and Graham modern dance, where Pilates was part of our warm-ups. That’s where my journey with the Hundred and the mat work began, long before I knew how deeply Pilates would influence my life.
After a career in tourism and hospitality in Toronto and with Royal Caribbean, I moved to Melbourne in 2007. While working at sea, I stayed connected to Pilates through Mary Winsor DVDs, keeping my love for structured, flowing movement alive.
Once in Melbourne, my Pilates instructors encouraged me to train as a teacher. I completed comprehensive certification with Peak Pilates and later became an international Master Instructor. Driven by curiosity and a passion for learning, I joined Authentic Pilates Education International (APEI), where I now serve as a principal mentor and teacher trainer. I have also completed further training in DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) and EBFA foot education.
Over the years, I’ve learned that progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about curiosity, consistency, and courage. If you ever ask me why I encourage clients to keep learning, moving, and challenging themselves, my answer is always simple: because you can.
Today, I am an active mum of two and the owner of ME Pilates Studio in Bentleigh. I am passionate about intelligent, purposeful movement and lifelong strength. I help clients move better, get stronger, and feel confident in their bodies at every stage of life.
Pilates is a lifelong journey. It enhances life, builds resilience, and supports long-term wellbeing. I often think of Joseph Pilates as the “Albert Einstein” of movement, and I’m guided by this simple truth:
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
