My passion for Pilates all began on the hardwood floor of a youthful ballet class, followed by years of modern dance. I believe it was the rigorous training and focus on precision and technique that gave me the foundation in movement and posture that has helped me become the kind of fitness trainer, I am today. In 2015, and while living in Harrismith, South Africa, I discovered Pilates classes and was hooked, I became a Certified Pilates Trainer that next year, eventually opening my first Pilates studio in Harrismith and now here in beautiful New Braunfels. It is a part of my daily lifestyle and a compliment to my body being a mother of 3 beautiful children Tristan, Tamzyn and Kaylin. Pilates has become my go to fitness routine that marries nicely with my other fitness methods and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

This class is especially geared for client with Osteo Scoliosis.
While Pilates may not cure or fix Scoliosis, it will improve posture, elongate the Spine, and uniformly develop tissue. This Spine centered approach to movement makes Pilates an ideal modality for individuals with Scoliosis.
