I come from a dance background having attended the National School of Arts in Johannesburg. After school I did a BA degree at UCT majoring in History and English, and then a post-graduate diploma in Junior Primary education. After teaching in a school for two years I longed to work with the body again so I studied Personal Training through the Exercise Teachers' Academy. I worked at a small personal training gym for two years where I developed an interest in the rehabilitation of injuries. In 2001 I opened my own Pilates studio in Vredehoek having done Pilates courses through the Dance Department of the Pretoria Technikon. In 2005 I did the Body Control® mat work course.

I am now Reformer qualified and a Master Matwork Trainer.

I am passionate about the moving body and anatomy and I try to learn as much as I possibly can and pass on this knowledge to those I work with.

I hope that my clients will learn more about themselves through working with their bodies. I also hope to help my clients in the management and understanding of their bodies, in the hope that they can apply what they are learning in class to their daily life.

Although I work with a wide range of clients, my special interest is in rehabilitation. I also have a passion for the performing arts and I have worked with musicians, singers and the dancers of Cape Town City Ballet.
