Pepperoni Pizza and any pasta dish, I couldn’t choose between them.

13. HOW DID YOU GET INTO PILATES?
My mum, I used to go to classes with her before I had my girls and had the option of learning to instruct but really had no confidence in myself, so I didn’t take the opportunity. Fast forward a few years, learning about myself, gaining strength and confidence, doing Pilates workouts from Youtube and a lot of push from my amazing friend circle I decided to go for it.
14. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PILATES STYLE TO TEACH?
I only teach mat Pilates at the moment but I have been playing around with Pilates-style exercises in the Hit 50 style format and I’m loving that.
15. WHO WOULD BE YOUR DREAM CLIENT
Someone that is looking to give their mind and body some love. They aren’t just in it for the external appearance (I know we all care about that but it shouldn’t be your number 1 reason for exercising) but for their health and wanting to really appreciate how their body works and enjoy the process of building strength and confidence in themselves. I love to celebrate the small achievements so they need to be ready for me to cheer them on when they can do something for an extra 10 seconds than last time.
16. WHAT IS ONE OF THE KINDEST THINGS YOUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID TO YOU THAT YOU’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER?
How that one hour they spend with me changes their day. They walk away feeling strong and happy for the rest of their day. It’s nice to know you can have that impact for someone.
