About me
Meet your instructor
Hi, I am Marie,
I'm delighted to welcome you to Pilates Body in Balance website, which I've designed to provide a convenient platform for both my existing and future clients, ensuring easy access to all essential information in one place.
I am a mother of two teenagers who seem to have adopted my love of Pilates as they are regular attendees in my classes, so there's a chance you might see one of them during your sessions..
My journey into Pilates began when my daughter was two years old. I embraced Pilates as a regular practice and continued it throughout my second pregnancy with my son. Towards the end of my pregnancy with my son, I slipped two discs, falling down the stairs. It was during this time that Pilates helped me find relief. Through my consistent practice, Pilates not only aided in my recovery but also enabled me to maintain a pain-free life. I had the privilege of being taught by an extraordinary instructor, Kate, who ignited my love for the Pilates method. This profound passion for movement and Pilates led me to pursue a career as a teacher.
In 2010, I successfully completed my training under the expert guidance of Alison Swan, a distinguished founding member of the Pilates Foundation, and earned my certification as a Matwork teacher. Later, in 2016, I furthered my expertise by obtaining my apparatus training qualification under Rachel Rafiefar, another esteemed founding member of the Pilates Foundation.
With over a decade of experience, I'm here to guide you on a journey toward a healthier, stronger, and more vibrant you.
Don't wait—join me now, and let's start this exciting adventure together.
I hope to see you soon!
