Meet our team, part 4! 📚THE ADMIN TEAM 📚

Meet Katina, Iebe, Sofie, Lotte, Femke and not in the picture we also have Siobhan, AmĂ©lie, ZoĂ« & Lena 💙

We’re the ones making sure everything behind the scenes runs as smoothly as possible. From finance and HR to marketing and customer care, people are at the heart of everything we do — supporting our team internally while helping create the best possible experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

đŸ™‹đŸœ Come say hi to Sofie, Iebe & AmĂ©lie at the front desk!

đŸ‘©đŸŒâ€đŸ’» You may run into Femke on one of her floor & admin support rounds around Waves

đŸ„‚ Maybe you’ve spotted our marketing manager Siobhan running around during one of our shoots with a boa scarf and a bottle of cava — don’t ask us why 😅

đŸ‘©đŸŒâ€đŸ’» And meet Lotte, one of our physios who’s also our current admin team manager

While we may spend a lot of time behind our computers, we all LOVE TO MOVE! From hiking and weight lifting to dancing and Pilates, we can only sit still for so long before the urge to get moving kicks in again.

Behind the scenes, but playing a part in every corner of Waves 🌊

Meet our team, part 3! đŸ€žđŸŸ THE PILATES TEAM đŸ€žđŸŸ

Meet our fully comprehensively trained Pilates team! From left to right we have Carlotta, Maria, Bavo, Naomi, Valerie, Nelle, Katina, Aish, Flore, Joanna and Edith and not in the picture we also have Olga, Lauren, Anne, Ginie, Brooklyn, Wanda, Lien, Femke and Sarah ✹

Pilates is a whole body and mind concept developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It has since developed from its early conception to have both incredible fitness and clinical properties, which is why here at Waves we are so passionate about it as a mind-body health platform. We offer group classes as well as private, duo and semi-private sessions.

Every Pilates instructor at Waves is comprehensively trained, meaning they have completed a full, in-depth Pilates training covering the full repertoire of exercises and equipment, as well as the principles behind them. This allows our team to adapt Pilates to different bodies, goals, abilities and health conditions.

Fun fact: a surprising number of our Pilates instructors have a background in dance! From ballet to salsa to contemporary dance, movement has been a big part of many of their lives long before they joined the Waves team.

New to Pilates at Waves, or not quite sure which class to book? We have made a straightforward guide to how our Pilates classes are structured, what each level means, who each class is for, and how to pick the right one for you. Go to our website > Start here to find out more

Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year’s theme is ‘lived experience’.

Lived experience is what someone has experienced themselves, and the knowledge and understanding that can come from living through something, rather than simply learning about it from the outside.

Too often, people with lived experience (PWLE) are asked to share their stories, but are not included in the decisions that affect them. Meaningful engagement goes beyond simply being heard. It means creating opportunities for people to help shape policies, services and support, challenge stigma, and influence decisions that affect their lives.

Lived experience is an important part of understanding and improving support for many different mental health challenges. Motherhood is just one area where there is still room to better recognise and respond to women’s lived experiences and mental health needs.

A while back, our dear colleague Lien wrote a blog about maternal mental health, ‘Hold the Mother, not the Baby’ — a personal reflection on the huge physical, emotional and psychological transformations that can come with becoming a mother.

Sometimes, the person living through an experience understands aspects of it that a textbook, statistic or clinical definition cannot fully capture. That’s why we think sharing stories like Lien’s matters. Personal experiences can help us better understand complex topics, challenge assumptions and, hopefully, contribute to a society that is more informed, understanding and supportive of mothers and their mental health.

Meet our team, part 2! đŸ‹đŸŸ THE GYM TEAM đŸ‹đŸŸ

Wow it’s a challenge to get them to stand still even for a photo 😅 But here they are: our amazing clinical gym team! Meet Charles, Bavo, Justine, Nelle, Katina and Femke đŸ’ȘđŸŸ

Our highly qualified and passionate gym team focuses on exercise interventions for ALL, including support for people with acute and chronic health conditions and disabilities. Our goal is to provide an empowering and inclusive environment to attain your health and well-being goals – and most importantly keep things fun and enjoyable along the way. Be the participant in your journey – not the patient.

One thing that really comes through across the team is that they’re all genuinely passionate about movement. Our gym team doesn’t just talk about movement, they LOVE it and can’t sit still for too long — which is one reason why our team meetings don’t always happen around a table 😅 From running and strength training to Pilates, sports and all kinds of outdoor adventures, they each have their own way of staying active and having fun đŸ€žđŸŸ

Meet our team, part 1! đŸ’†đŸ» THE HEALTH TEAM đŸ’†đŸ»

This month we’re putting the spotlight on the people behind Waves â€ïžâ€đŸ”„ From the admin team to the Gym, Pilates, Health & Leadership teams — who are they, what do they do and what makes their heart beat a little faster?

Let’s start with our amazing health team, each bringing their own expertise to Waves 💙 From left to right, meet our physios Aish, Naomi, Charles, Valerie, Lotte, Joanna, Katina, Carlotta, Flore, Edith, Arne, Bavo & not in the picture we also have Davy, ZoĂ«, Sven, Sarah and Anne as well as our osteopath Evelien, psychomotor therapist Janne and psychologist Stef!

Physiotherapy is about so much more than recovering from an injury. It’s about helping people move with more confidence, reduce pain and build resilience. Whether this means supporting a high-level athlete to perform at their best or helping someone reach the upper kitchen cupboard, our health team is here to support you to keep moving.

With a wide range of expertise and specialisations from hands and wrists to postpartum support through to support during cancer treatment, we’re able to support people with different needs, goals and challenges.

29/09/2026

Charlotte holds a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences from KU Leuven, specialising in pelvic floor and perinatal physiotherapy and has completed a PhD in Biomedical Research. Alongside her work at Waves, she currently also works at UZ Leuven, where she has gained experience in oncological rehabilitation and lymphoedema therapy. She is also a certified Pilates Mat Level 1 instructor, combining her clinical expertise with a strong interest in movement.

Charlotte takes a calm, personal and evidence-based approach to physiotherapy. She believes that every person is different, and takes the time to understand each client and tailor their care to their individual needs. Her experience across pelvic floor and perinatal physiotherapy, as well as oncological rehabilitation and lymphoedema therapy, allows her to support people through different stages of their health and recovery.

Outside of her professional life, Charlotte loves staying active and is happiest when she’s moving — whether that’s Pilates, running, trying something new like hockey, or simply getting outdoors. She also enjoys slower, creative hobbies like crocheting, embroidery and knitting. She loves travelling and has a soft spot for Asian food, with pineapple fried rice being a particular favourite. At home, she shares her life with two black cats, one of whom is a real snuggler :)

We’re very excited to have Charlotte join our team. She will start at Waves Tuesdays AM and Fridays PM. Her slots are already open for booking via wavesleuven.be > Health

Living with chronic pain and how Pilates has helped 💙

Our dear client Andrés speaks openly about his journey with Pilates and how it has supported him in managing chronic pain. Thank you so much Andrés, for sharing your story with us.

H E A L T H U P D A T E — Welcome Joanna! 😍

Originally from Greece, Joanna moved to Leuven to study physiotherapy and rehabilitation sciences, specialising in neurological conditions. Alongside her work as a physiotherapist, she contributes to Parkinson’s disease research at KU Leuven — a field that has fascinated her from the beginning.

Joanna is especially fascinated by the role of the nervous system in how we function and feel, and by how movement and therapy can make a real difference. She believes that every person and every recovery journey is unique, and values creating a supportive environment where people feel guided towards meaningful, lasting changes — not only becoming stronger or more independent, but also feeling more confident in their own body.

Always curious to learn more, Joanna is currently completing a postgraduate programme in Relaxation and Breathing Therapy for children and adults at KU Leuven, alongside her Polestar Comprehensive Pilates training.

Outside of work and studies, you’ll most likely find Joanna outdoors with her two dogs. She loves staying active through running, swimming, Pilates, strength training and yoga, and is always up for a new challenge.

We’re excited to have Joanna joining the team. Welcome, Joanna! đŸ™ŒđŸŸ
