Description
The Pilates for life is for you if:
- you are committed to take action and follow step by step guidance
- you are willing to gradually change your body’s unwanted habits
- desire professional guidance and support
- seek motivation and stay focused
- you don’t want to feel overwhelmed
- desire help getting back on track.
You want to work with a skilled coach who knows how to make things happen, who can break everything down into manageable chunks, and who can keep you focused on what really matters, making sure that your health, fitness and overall wellbeing is working for YOU and not against YOU.
I am a Certified Advanced Personal Trainer, Rehabilitation Pilates Coach, Lower Back Pain Management and Core Exercise Specialist who helped many clients in their rehabilitation journey.
Let’s do this together!
I know that achieving your health and wellness goals on your own is hard work – but it doesn’t have to be intimidating. I’m here to help you simplify so that you can focus on what matters most: your health and wellness.
What you get:
- initial posture assessment
- 12x 60 minutes weekly sessions on Zoom or in person if previously discussed
- regular progress evaluations and verbal health screening,
- integration of specific movements relevant to daily activities or sports,
- guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle for long-term well-being,
- education on area(s) of concern (prevention and body mechanics).
Date and time of regular weekly sessions are arranged in advance and confirmed in writing.
Cancellations must be made in writing via an email 48 hours in advance. Cancellations made 48 hours or less before the scheduled session are charged in full and are not re-scheduled.
In certain circumstances, if required by the client, the coach can send reminders, however, it’s usually the client’s responsibility to set reminders for scheduled sessions.
If the coach is on an annual leave and the session cannot be arranged in the same week, a recording of the session will be provided in advance to ensure client’s regular training and progress.
It’s client’s responsibility to develop consistent practise outside the training sessions with a coach. Coach provides guidance.
If you require more comprehensive program suitable for rehabilitating one or more parts of your body the Limitless Body 6 month package is rehabilitation based program designed to take you progressively from ‘injured’ to ‘optimal’ health & wellness. If you are new to Pilates you can start with the Pilates for life 3 month package, however, more likely you will need much longer and more comprehensive program with a specific home plan you can follow on your own between our private sessions. Specific plan performed consistently gets results faster.
You know deep down that the positive change will help you to show up even more powerfully in life. Once your cup is full, your life will flow.
Looking forward to guide and support you in your ‘wellness journey’.
‘Our bodies were designed to be our home base, our intelligent centre connected to our soul.
Pamper your body, rebuild your home.’
