2 / Do I need any Pilates experience?
Not at all! Our sessions are tailored to your needs and fitness level, whether you’re a complete beginner or a Pilates pro.

Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour, giving you enough time to work out and still get back to mum life.

6 / Are you certified?
Yes, I’m certified through Barre Body and hold up-to-date St John Ambulance First Aid and CPR training for adults, children, and babies. I also have a valid Working With Children (WWC) check, a police check, and full insurance, so you can feel confident in every session.

Pilates helps strengthen your core, improve posture, and ease tension—especially in areas like your back and shoulders that take a hit during pregnancy and early mum life. Plus, it’s great for mental clarity and stress relief.
