What motivates you?
I’ve always had a passion for movement – from dancing in the parades at Disneyland Paris to being flung sky-high as a cheerleader and training as a stunt performer. After moving into a full-on, fast-paced career in TV producing, those passions slowly took a backseat...until Pilates stepped in to save the day.
Pilates has been the one form of exercise that consistently challenges both my body and my brain in all the right ways – and easily the most committed (workout) relationship I’ve ever had! I love helping others find that same sense of strength, confidence and achievable physical wins that made me fall in love with the practice ten years ago, which is why finally took the leap into the fitness and wellbeing world this year. I’m so excited to be starting this new chapter at The Studio – supporting our community to move well, feel fit and have fun doing it.
Outside of The Studio...
You’ll probably find me with a coffee in hand, dragging my boyfriend on a long weekend walk and finishing with a dip in the sea (the novelty of living in beautiful, sunny Sydney has definitely not worn off!). Otherwise, I’m catching up with friends at the local or checking out a new restaurant in the city that’s caught our eye. Sipping, snacking and chatting with my girls really is my favourite pastime!
Favourite exercise?
A lunge on light springs – the burn is real and you feel instantly humbled!
