Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know before we start. Can’t find your answer? Send me a message.

Getting started

Do I need any experience?

Not at all. You don’t have to be a Pilates pro or a gym regular. Every session is designed around you and your goals, wherever you’re at today, and we build from there.

What happens in the free consult?

It’s a relaxed 15-minute chat by phone or video. We’ll talk about your goals, your history, any injuries or niggles, and whether you’re pregnant or postpartum, and I’ll recommend the option that suits you best. No pressure, no hard sell.

Which option is right for me?

1:1 coaching is the most hands-on and the one I recommend for pregnancy, postnatal recovery and injuries. Online programming suits people who are happy training on their own but want a plan written for them and someone keeping them accountable. The Kala App is perfect if you want flexible, follow-along workouts on your own schedule. Not sure? That’s exactly what the free consult is for.

How much does it cost?

1:1 pricing depends on where and how often we train, so I’ll talk you through the options in your free consult. Online programming is A$120 a month, and Kala App memberships start from A$39 a month with a 7-day free trial.

1:1 coaching

Where do sessions happen?

Either at Omnia Movement, a calm, private boutique gym in Manly that’s fully equipped for Pilates and strength training, or in your own home if you’re within 10km of Cremorne.

What do I need for a home session?

Just a little bit of space. I bring the equipment and the motivation. Your living room, backyard or even a local park works perfectly.

What does a session look like?

Every session is designed around you. We start with a chat and a movement assessment, then blend strength training, Pilates and mobility in whatever way suits your goals, adjusting as you progress.

Do 1:1 clients get a discount on the Kala App?

Yes. 1:1 clients get 50% off the Kala App, making it A$19 a month for unlimited access, so you can keep moving between sessions.

Can you work alongside my physio or chiro?

Absolutely, and I love to. Feel free to send through any reports or exercises beforehand so your training and rehab point in the same direction.

Do you run group classes?

Yes. I teach small semi-private classes at Omnia Movement in Manly, with a maximum of 4 people. Mums & bubs runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday 11:15am–12pm, and a pregnancy-friendly Strength & Pilates class (open to everyone) runs Monday and Wednesday 12–12:45pm. Classes are booked through Omnia.

Pregnancy & postnatal

Can I bring my baby?

Babies and toddlers are always welcome, whether we train at the gym or at home. I’m used to working with mums and I’m happy to pause and help settle them so you still get your session.

Is it safe to exercise while pregnant?

For most healthy pregnancies, yes, and staying strong has real benefits. Every session is adapted to your trimester and how you’re feeling on the day. Please check with your GP, obstetrician or midwife before starting.

When can I start after having my baby?

Gentle breathing, pelvic floor and core reconnection can start in the early weeks. Once you’re cleared by your healthcare provider (usually around six weeks), we build back up progressively, at the pace your body sets.

I had a caesarean. Can you still help?

Yes. Postnatal training is tailored to your birth, whether you had a vaginal birth, a long labour, an episiotomy or a caesarean. Scar healing and core recovery get extra care.

Do you work with diastasis and pelvic floor symptoms?

Yes. I’ve trained in Diastasis Done Differently with Antony Lo and in pregnancy and postpartum rehab, and I’m happy to work alongside your women’s health physio.

Online programming

What’s included?

A 4-week program built around your goals, for home or the gym, with video and written demos for every exercise, weekly check-ins and unlimited questions.

How is it delivered?

Your program lives in an app on your phone, so you have your workouts, demos and messages to me all in one place.

Can I do it from overseas?

Yes. Online programming works wherever you are in the world.

The Kala App

How does the free trial work?

Every plan starts with 7 days free. Today you pay $0, and if you cancel during your trial you won’t be charged.

What equipment do I need?

Plenty of classes need nothing more than a mat. Others use dumbbells, a resistance band or a small ball, and you can always swap in what you have at home.

What devices can I use?

Your phone, tablet or laptop, at home, in the gym or on holiday.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel your membership whenever you like.

Not sure where to begin?
