Give us a brief summary of your career to date – how did you get involved with Pilates?
Deciding on a career path in my teens was very difficult so I studied Arts/ Science to keep my options open. From there I fell into Geology because I loved hiking, outdoors and field trips. But I always had a yearning to pursue sports medicine and Physiotherapy seemed like the best fit. I managed to study Physiotherapy at three universities in two cities for part of one semester until I eventually settled back to Melbourne to complete my degree at La Trobe University. I discovered Pilates in my first year out of Uni after trying a few classes with Paul Cini, which led me to pursue Physio clinics that focused on Pilates rehabilitation.
What is your favourite thing about Pilates?
I love that Pilates makes us tune into our bodies – massively increasing our awareness. This information allows us to move more efficiently, preventing injury and minimising pain. Pilates continually challenges us to access muscles that we never knew existed, helping improve stability and posture.
If you could go anywhere in the world right now where would it be? Why?
South America. This was on my wish list for our first year of marriage but we fell pregnant with Millie. She was also a wish come true!
What food could you not live without?
Avocado – spread it, eat it whole, mix it or mash it. I eat heaps of fruit and muesli too.
What piece of advice would you give to someone about to embark on their Pilates journey?
Be kind on yourself and listen to your body. Pilates gets easier, but it will always present you with a new challenge.
What do you love about Balance & Control Pilates Studio?

Featured Team Member- KIERA!
MEET KIERA- one of our our wonderful Rehab Pilates Instructors!
Give us a brief summary of your career to date – how did you get involved with Pilates?
I graduated from La Trobe University in 2010. Since then I have worked across a variety of settings including private practice, acute and rehabilitation hospitals and aged care. I have a particular interest in women’s health physiotherapy which initially drew me to Pilates. I also plan to complete a post grad certificate in women’s health physio in March 2014.
What is your favourite thing about Pilates?
Pilates is accessible to all ages, body types and levels of fitness. Pilates enables people to develop their strength and flexibility which leads to participation in everyday activities and recreational activities that may otherwise be difficult due to pain and dysfunction.
If you could go anywhere in the world right now where would it be? Why?
Brazil. The energy, beaches, sunshine and excitement.
What food could you not live without?
Sweets and Falafels!
What piece of advice would you give to someone about to embark on their Pilates journey?
Concentrate on one aspect of the exercise at a time, initially the mind is working very hard to re program the body and experience the new movements. Over the course of the 5-6 sessions it’ll get easier and the movements will become automatic.
What do you love about Balance & Control Pilates Studio?
The people of course! The team and all the clients are absolutely wonderful!
