I started ballet at the tender age of 3 and continued to study full-time ballet in my teens. I enjoyed a career in dance which resulted in travelling around the world dancing and then on my return to Australia I ran my own ballet school, choreographed and produced shows. 

My crossover into the world of fitness started in the early 1980's when I become a Jane Fonda Workout instructor. 

I subsequently taught aerobics, step classes and body conditioning for many years. I enjoyed being fitness editor of Australian Slimming Magazine from 1985 to 2000.  However my body was suffering from wear and tear and it was my discovery of the Pilates method that led me down the path I will continue on for the rest of my life

Pilates history:
* 2004-2008  full studio certification (600 hours) Pilates Moves
*2011 received certification as 2nd generation Pilates teacher after a 2 year training programme in the USA with Lolita San Miguel ( 1st generation teacher certified by Joseph Pilates)
* 2007 opened Balmain Bodies Pilates Studio
*2014 I was invited to teach at an international conference in Monchengladbach, the birthplace of Joseph Pilates. 

I continue to train with world leaders in the pilates Method to ensure  that my clients receive first class instruction

Working in the entertainment industry for over 15 years I have always had a love for performing, human interaction and making people feel great about themselves.
I was always active and fit and incorporated Pilates into my fitness routine as I have suffered back pain all my life .

After doing my Pilates course and working closely with the clients at Balmain Bodies I look forward to continuing to bring diversity, understanding, high energy and lots of fun to every single class ! I love throwing something fun into the mix and I want people to love every session!
