I'm Fiona - I am a Pilates Teacher, Physiotherapist and Endurance Athlete. Originally from Ireland, now residing in Christchurch, New Zealand. A curiosity to explore and love of travel lead me to packing my bags and moving to New Zealand. This was 10 years ago and I'm happy to say that it has been a full 10 years with plenty of growth and experience. 

I balance working as a Physiotherapist with endurance training for Multisport competitions, such as the Coast to Coast. Where I have podium 3 times in the Longest Day Event. In the past 18 months I have added a passion for Pilates to this list! Whilst broadening my Physiotherapy skills, I started to delve into the wonderful world of Pilates. Recognizing how valuable it would be to me in my own sporting life and seeing the value it adds to so many populations, I decided to start my own Pilates journey and now teach group and private classes in Christchurch, as well as online classes available to any location in New Zealand.  

My 10+ years experience as a Physiotherapist along with my sporting background, gives me a wonderful platform to deliver Pilates to people in all walks of life. I truly believe Pilates is for everyone and has a key benefit for sports people wanting to prevent injuries and improve performance, people rehabilitating from injury or illness, those with sedentary jobs or older adults needing to improve balance and flexibility. 

Pilates can be a key addition to managing and recovering from any health problem you might be experiencing and a positive tool to help you rehabilitate to a stronger healthier you!
