Owner & Instructor
Vanessa is passionate about movement and has been teaching for over 30 years.
Vanessa has accredited qualifications in Pilates, Barre and Dance, with extended training in Pilates for scoliosis and osteoporosis.
Working in Clinical Pilates at Seaview Health Group has provided Vanessa experience working with clients through all phases of life and with a diverse range of injuries and conditions. Vanessa understands how to modify and tailor exercises so that clients gain a greater awareness of their body, feeling reduced pain, all while improving their strength, balance and mobility.
Vanessa taught the professional dance students at Spectrum Dance for over eight years, guiding them on how to safely and effectively build their strength and flexibility while focusing on injury prevention.
She understands what it's like to experience setbacks with injuries as she navigated through her professional dancing career, and the persistence required to work through rehabilitation following hip surgery and a recent hip replacement.
Most of all, Vanessa enjoys tailoring individual programs to the needs of each client, providing variety to each class, and ensuring everyone remains challenged and safe.
By adding a touch of creativity, her classes are always fresh and engaging.
I have been taking Vanessa’s Pilates & Barre classes for over 5 years. She has taught me so much and continues to challenge me each week. I love the energy & variety of her classes. Vanessa is knowledgeable, professional & caring. Thanks to Pilates (& Vanessa) I have seen a vast improvement over the years in my core strength, flexibility & fitness.

I love my Pilates sessions with Vanessa! Due to mild scoliosis – and a job that sees me sitting all day long – my back often gives me grief. But since starting my weekly sessions, I feel so much better and stronger. I also love that I can replicate many of the class exercises at home. Vanessa is a lovely and warm – and very qualified – instructor, and she's always looking for ways to tailor the sessions to better support me. I highly recommend!

Vanessa is a welcoming, caring teacher who caters for a variety of abilities by suggesting ways to increase or decrease the intensity of the exercise, so you can do whatever suits your body.
After a class, I feel like I’ve had a great, allover workout and I am quite invigorated.
