Sarah (Cheltenham)
Vanessa is a fantastic instructor giving clear direction and care to ensure that you get the most out of each class.
I feel stronger and healthier since starting the classes and the duo class has been great for my husband and I.
The best part is you feel seen and not just a number, with good guidance and support.
I was nervous to try pilates but really glad I have now at Pliés and Pilates.
Steven (Kew)
I've suffered from chronic back pain and scoliosis for 8 years, which has significantly impacted my day-to-day functionality. Pliés and Pilates have played a huge role in restoring my movement, achieving a mostly pain-free state, and giving me back control over my body.
Vanessa is meticulous, highly adaptable, and incredibly supportive. She's knowledgeable about complex conditions, cautious around pain triggers and specific movements, and consistently tailors each session to how you're feeling that day. I highly recommend this to anyone, regardless of physical capacity or condition.
Tessa (Beaumaris)
Vanessa has been my pilates instructor now for over 5 years. Her commitment to improving my strength whilst always being mindful of my wellbeing is definitely what sets Vanessa apart from other instructors. Each session always feels like a personalised experience and no class is ever the same. Vanessa also continually seeks to further her knowledge and expertise and brings this to her sessions. As someone with a number of past injuries and mid life niggles I feel very safe with Vanessa and highly recommend her classes.
