Hi! I’m Amy and here is my story…
I LOVE to move! This began at a very early age, when I started dancing at the age of 6, and later I turned this passion into my career. I am a Kiwi (New Zealander) and my dancing journey has taken me around the world to countries like Australia, Germany, England, The United States, Monte Carlo and Macau.
Now based in Mannheim, Germany, I have transitioned from my career in dance to a career in Pilates, where I am still able to express joy and life through movement and teach others to do the same.
My love for Pilates began in the first year of my professional dance career where I suffered from an ACL tear in my left knee and needed an ACL reconstruction to continue dancing. I was given a Pilates program for my rehabilitation. Since then, I have been forever grateful to Pilates which has allowed me to continue moving freely with ease every day.
I am a fully qualified BASI® Pilates Instructor (500 hours), trained on all Pilates equipment and on the mat.
