Role in our TF family: Reformer Sorceress

Studios you teach at: Newstead & Chermside

Classes you teach: Reformer Pilates

Favourite class to teach in and why: Reformer pilates. Suitable for all ages, body types, fitness levels, stages of pregnancy and whatever part of the rehab journey people are in. What could be more versatile than this?!

What do you love about movement? The confidence that my students continually gain within themselves, what they learn about their body, the benefits of physical activity to hormones and neurotransmitters, the social aspect, the meditative components and BONUS: the way it transforms their body.

Fun fact about me? I am the youngest in my family which probably explains everything ;) I lived in Amsterdam for the last few years, so I might accidentally speak Dutch while teaching. I was teaching high intensity pilates classes while I was living there, and also started a baking business -- Dutch people had never used cinnamon in banana bread before and it blew their minds (and taste buds!) I have a Peugeot bicycle that is older than me which I shipped over from Holland when I moved back to Australia. I can't drink coffee because bad things will happen to good people if I do. I have a favourite word of the week: this week it is 'limerence'. I am an exercise physiologist by profession, who happens to have a passion for pain-management, pre- and post-natal exercise and TRX training. I'm forever on the hunt for Brisbane's best chai latte, best rooftop bar and best restaurant that will suit pescatarians... Any suggestions?
