How long have you been teaching Pilates ? For 9 gorgeous years!

How did you first get into Pilates ?  I needed something to add to my barre classes and my mentor at the time suggested Pilates. I’ve not looked back!

What are your favourite Pilates position?  Ooooh not a position but a principle, flow, when a class flows and the transitions are quick and you come out feeling like what just happened, then there is no better feeling.

What's your favourite thing about teaching at Scout Pilates? Without a shadow of a doubt, the community. Teachers and students. They all got me through quite a year and I feel so grateful to them all.

Enough Pilates & Yoga chat, what in your life gives you the most energy? My kids. My why. My reason to get up at 4am. They are just joy. (Most of the time) 

Tell us your favourite place to eat in the inner west and what you order there? Oooh I love Pistou and any of the cheese! 

What advice would you give to your 15-year-old self? Don’t give up. Don’t fit in. 

Last great book that you read? I just read Lola in the Mirror, by Trent Dalton. I love his writing. I couldn’t put it down.

If you could travel ANYWHERE tomorrow, where would you go? Home. The UK. London. I miss everything about it. 

What goal are you hoping to achieve by the end of the year? To begin thriving and not just surviving.
