I’m Carina, a passionate Pilates instructor and movement professional with a deep interest in how we move and how we can move better.

​

I first fell in love with Pilates in my early twenties while living in Perth, Australia. My first teacher instilled in me the importance of “really seeing” people. Through years of Pilates training and further study in corrective movement techniques, I’ve come to understand how to do that. 

​

My teaching is rooted in observing how each client moves,  understanding what their body is communicating and meeting them where they are at. Rather than trying to fix posture or force a certain shape, I work to uncover and shift the underlying patterns that are shaping movement. The goal is to create change from within so your body naturally finds positions that feel more supportive, allowing you to move with greater ease and freedom.

​

I also bring this approach into my work with pregnancy and postpartum clients, blending Pilates with corrective movement strategies. Having two children of my own, I know firsthand how impactful targeted movement can be during pregnancy to support a more positive birth experience and how valuable it is in navigating the challenges of recovery after birth.

​

Whether you’re looking to feel stronger and more connected in your body, are currently pregnant, or returning to movement after having a baby, I’d love to support you on your journey — in a one-on-one session or in a group class.
