How long have you been teaching Pilates? For 6 years now!

How did you first get into Pilates?  I started practicing waaay back when there were only a few studios in Sydney that offered reformer and instantly fell in love. I found it helped me unwind after a stressful day at work and sleep better. 

What is your favourite Pilates position?  Teaser - although it is a love / hate relationship!

What's your favourite thing about teaching at Scout Pilates? The amazing teachers, friendly students and stunning environment. Such a good vibe all the time.  

Enough Pilates & Yoga chat, what in your life gives you the most energy? I am a classic introvert and recharge by spending quiet time pottering around the house. 

Tell us your favourite place to eat in the inner west and what you order there? Pizza Madre! Being vego it can be hard to get a good pizza but they are ALL amazing. 

What advice would you give to your 15-year-old self? Stop plucking your eyebrows girl!

Last great book that you read? I would love to say I've finished it - but I am half way through SPQR by Mary Beard. I'm a huge history buff and her insights into Roman times are always quirky. 

If you could travel ANYWHERE tomorrow, where would you go? The Great Pyramid of Giza - Egypt has always been on my bucket list. 

What goal are you hoping to achieve by the end of the year? I'm hoping that 2024 will be a year of transition, I am moving away from my full time role at an advertising agency after 5 years and looking forward to working in house for an amazing brand.
