Guys.

I’m 40 now… and I wanted to share with you some of the reasons why I continue to move, and prioritise it.

I love to go for walks, I love to dance, I love Pilates. I love yoga - especially hot yoga in winter ❄️ (sorry but I do - I get so cold!) I’ve done gym workouts, pole dance, hiit classes, strength training, gone running… but I do this to explore movement. To see what ever use sits with my body in the season of life I’m in. For my brain and mental health. To find a moment for me. To leave my friends podcast length voicenotes on walks… To keep mobile and supple. Damn straight I still want to be able to do the splits at 80! I mean I’m half way there 😉

I move to feel good in my body and I really try hard to make that not an aesthetic thing.

This body has allowed me to travel the world as a performer, dancing is how I met my husband, dancing is how I met some of my lifelong besties. It gave me transferable skills and confidence and a life I would never have had without it.

I want to honour that my body has had to perform at such a high standard by keeping fit, staying mobile and continuing to move.

I could quote a heap of studies which are all neatly cited in our manuals, but you know moving is good for you in so many ways as you get older so if you want specifics - message me and I’ll point you to them.

Aging is a privilege denied to many, as I age I want it to be fun and filed with the things I love and - if I’m lucky - things I’m yet to experience too.

Wondering what it is?

Fusing moves from Pilates & Ballet - to music. She’s cardio and she’s fun and she’s a good time!

A body weight resistance workout to music - no previous dance or Pilates experience required!

We use props and weights for extra challenge. You are the one who dictates the pace and how much effort you put in. Wanna work hard? I gotchu. Need a little less pace? I still gotchu.

No prerequisites, no need to bring anything but yourself, a mat and some water - and wear clothes you feel comfortable to move in. We guide you through everything in the class and offer modifications and progressions as you need them.

More questions? Let me know 🥰

Come and give it a go!

Everybody is welcome at class ✨

Here you go

So fun. 🤩 I had 5 minutes at the park with the kids to try and learn it! I’m not even sure if I got it right haha.

Imperfect action in practice. Definitely practicing what I preach! 🙌🏼

Okay let’s see you beauties give this a try!

The journey so far ✨

A little reminisce, a moment to appreciate the depth and varied career so far and thank you to the friends, mentors, clients and others who saw my potential when often I did not 💜

I hope I am able to do the same for the next generation of movers and shakers 💜

08/04/2026

I’m bringing my home studio back online from 20th April!

Intentionally limited spaces.

A non judgemental place for you to move, guided by me in a 1-1 setting. Equipment or mat. Whatever you need on the day. Probably a bad joke and definitely a sprinkle of terrible counting!

If you are curious if this offering may be for you - please get in touch ✨

Qualified, registered (NZ REPs & AUSactive) internationally experienced and non aesthetic focussed sessions.

The one time I film and my battery dies half way 🤪

Since returning from Aus, I’ve had to fight to carve out some space for me and my movement.

Is it perfect? No.
Does that matter? No.
Do I feel better for finding time to move? Absolutely!

Ps. Home studio is back looking a little more lived in 🤩 thanks to my plant sitter 🪴
