My own journey started out a little wild. After my second spinal surgery, I knew I needed to change something. So I ran on lunch breaks, cycled to work, swam before office hours — and somehow ended up doing triathlons and even Ironman races abroad (because one sport clearly wasn’t enough punishment). When injury caught up with me, Pilates became my reset button. It rebuilt my body, gave me balance, and eventually became my career. Soon after I qualified in India as a Yoga Instructor, living in an Ashram for 3 months. Where I found my Zen:)!

Being part of the JPilates community, surrounded by world-class instructors, I get to learn from the very best! I do what I love most: help people discover that fitness isn’t about “earning” cupcakes or wine. It’s about mindset, motivation, confidence – and yes, having a laugh along the way.

And the best part? The community. The laughs, the sweat, the friends who cheer you on when you think you can’t – movement connects us all. Being part of something bigger not only expands the mind but also lets your body move the way it was meant to: with ease, enjoyment, and maybe even a little grace. Plus, you might just leave with stronger muscles, a happy heart, and a hilarious story about that time you nearly face-planted in plank.
