Maggie’s exploration into Pilates began in 2004 when she signed up for her first Pilates Mat class. She expanded her personal Pilates practice by taking Pilates Equipment classes and saw how the benefits of specialized Pilates equipment could help her achieve her fitness goals in ways that other movement modalities had not been able to do. The next step in her Pilates journey was clear; she trained in Victoria and became a Certified Pilates Instructor in 2005. Maggie is passionate about helping people reduce pain in their bodies and move with confidence in their daily activities. Pilates can play a fundamental role in retraining the body’s movement patterns and allows for a more mindful connection when it comes to any physical activity.
Maggie’s thoughtful and compassionate approach to teaching Pilates has allowed her clients to not only regain control of their bodies but she has seen first-hand how clients feel invigorated and empowered when they are given the right tools to reclaim agency in their own lives. Maggie has continued her formal training with Balanced Body, a globally accredited Pilates education program. She recently completed her MELT Method Hand and Foot Certification. She has pursued her interests in movement and physiology through a variety of certifications offered through the Fascia Hub and Anatomy Trains which offers professional development courses for manual therapists and movement practitioners.
