For me, Pilates is not only a physical exercise, but a tool to help to align the body and mind to maintain a productive and fulfilled life. Regardless of your background or your physical level, as a Pilates instructor, I want to take everyone on a journey through precise movement to find strength, flexibility and grace with a touch of playfulness. My classes are built on Pilates principles and combining anatomical and somatic knowledge I gained throughout my dance career. Whether you are recovering from a specific injury or preparing for/recovering from a pregnancy or simply to challenge one's physicality, I will create programs and building blocks to meet your needs.

 

My love for movement started throughout my childhood and continued with a contemporary dance education and a professional dance career in Switzerland, Denmark and Belgium. 

 

Life throws curve balls at you sometimes, that's the start of my Pilates journey to recover from a few dance injuries. Through Pilates I regained my full body strength and realigned my body. Having experienced these benefits, I decided to share it with others by becoming a Pilates instructor. I completed a full pilates apparatus BASI Comprehensive Global Teacher Training in Amsterdam with BASI Pilates® and to deepen my Pilates movement understanding I am doing a continuing education with STOTT PILATES®.
