AIMEE INTUITIVELY AND WITH GREAT SENSITIVITY TOOK ME ON A PROFOUND TRANSFORMATION WHERE I REGAINED GREAT STRENGTH AND MOBILITY, WHILST PROVIDING AN EXCITING, EXPLORATORY & HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL SPACE TO WORK IN. HER METICULOUS EYE FOR DETAIL, GUIDES YOU THROUGH A NONTRADITIONAL APPROACH.

“I was able to stay active throughout my entire pregnancy by training with Aimee’s classes right up until 38 weeks. Her classes will allow you to create space, build strength and nourish your body as it becomes home to your baby. Aimee safely guides you to explore and understand your unique anatomy, which is powerful knowledge as you navigate both your wildly changing body and childbirth itself. These classes then become therapy ‘just as good as any treatment’ an osteo would say, as you ease into postpartum.”
I speak the language of movement and my joy is in inspiring and guiding individuals on their unique journey of physical expression.
My formal training began in the world of ballet, where I developed a keen eye for detail and technique through full-time classical and contemporary ballet training.
For 20 years, I've been teaching diverse movement modalities across the UK, Europe, Australia, and NZ. My students range from professional ballet dancers and elite athletes to individuals seeking rehabilitation and women focusing on pelvic floor health and pre/postnatal wellness. I've been honoured to share my expertise at some of the most prestigious pilates, yoga, garuda studios & health clubs.
In 2025, I was in a severe car accident and suffered multiple injuries, including a severe brain injury. I had to undergo extensive rehabilitation with additional surgeries. I experienced first hand the non-linear trials of rehabilitation, a very weak / low function profile, as well as the psychological challenges of polytrauma. It allowed me to apply my knowledge of multi-modal training to help heal my body, brain and soul.
I am extremely passionate about movement education; as a former Garuda Master Trainer; assisting & facilitating teacher trainings. Quality instruction is a blend of knowledge, experience, empathy, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of movement. Our bodies are invaluable assets that deserve to be nurtured and cared for.

““I have attended a weekly clinical Pilates session, as part of a small group, with Aimee as the instructor for about 2 ½ years. I have a great love for sport & fitness. I play cricket, baseball as well as run up to 70km per week in training for various races/fun runs. I found Aimee’s sessions to be extremely beneficial and were a key component of my training regime. She focuses on the individual needs of each of her students in a very considerate way & for me was able to significantly improve my flexibility, increase my core strength and all the while keep my L5 aligned. I attribute this as a major factor in keeping me injury free for my various sporting endeavours. Aimee has a terrific ability to demonstrate & teach the correct technique in a very friendly & personable manner. Attending her classes was always fun. As a dedicated Pilates person I have no hesitation in recommending Aimee as a “top shelf” Pilates instructor.””
