About Caroline
I started practicing Pilates regularly to improve symptoms caused by scoliosis and an L4/L5 disc herniation impinging on my nerve. It’s emphasis on more controlled movement not only helped me target specific muscle groups while ensuring correct alignment, but it also helped with developing my body awareness and mind-body connection.
Through this recovery journey, I became passionate about how the body moves and functions and how Pilates can improve this in a range of bodies and physical conditions. I’m looking forward to sharing my knowledge and passion with others to help improve their mobility, pain, functionality and overall quality of life.
I’ve worked with a range of clients, using the mat and apparatuses. I pride myself on promoting a welcoming and encouraging environment and designing classes that are both challenging and safe.

What Clients are Saying
Expert guidance
I have a very specific back condition which restricts certain movements and has affected me both physically and emotionally. Caroline was very cognizant of the limitations and provided expert guidance throughout the sessions. I had immediate and lasting relief as the sessions progressed. We ended the sessions with a mindful exercise which helped me recognize that the pain does not define me! Caroline is a true professional with a calming voice and a kind demeanour.

Highly recommend
Caroline is patient, knowledgeable, and highly attentive to her students’ needs. She demonstrates remarkable professionalism and dedication. Her ability to break down movements and ensure proper execution has made a significant impact on my fitness journey. I now apply the principles she taught me to my own workouts. They have greatly improved my strength, posture, and overall body awareness. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a skilled and passionate Pilates instructor.

Noticed improvements
Pilates was recommended to me by a friend. I had never taken Pilates seriously, and as a guy, I was embarrassed to try it. Coming out of a back injury, Caroline was able to safely work with me without compromising my recovery. When I started strength training again, Caroline was able to pinpoint weaknesses in my routine. I’ve definitely noticed improvements to my quality of life. I’ve incorporated things that Caroline has taught me into my regular training.”
