Like many of us in 2022 during the pandemic I found myself confused and disoriented. My young family and I had re-immigrated to my home country of New Zealand but acclimating my husband and kids to a new culture, a new city and a corporate job left me very disconnected with myself. I felt as if I was simply going through the motions of my life stiff, sore and constantly tired.

One afternoon by chance at a party I heard someone say "The body screams what the soul keeps quiet" and it was like being struck by lightning. I made the decision to restart and rebuild from the inside out and beyond.

I went on to complete Comprehensive Pilates teacher training-an extremely humbling and demanding process. While at times it felt like an ugly mirror, I was so excited about how small changes I made within my body lead to a sense of balance and alignment in all areas of my life and I wanted to pass that along.

We moved to Austin TX where Bespoke Pilates ATX was born and I returned to a former vocation as a massage therapist. I envision building a lively, welcoming community where wellness, connection and genuine friendships thrive.
