I believe you can always feel better...
I focus on great communication and community education to improve overall health.

I love using hands-on techniques and Pilates principles to help people move better, feel better, and recover faster. It is my mission that you love the body you have and regain and retain the strength, energy, and ability to do the things that you love to do. I believe that everybody deserves to have an exceptionally good functioning body. If it sounds like you, please, make a booking and come to see me.

What a lovely way to celebrate 25 years of the Alexandra Musical Society Dance Competition! ✨

AMS once again brought together beautiful artists, from first-timers taking their first steps on stage to more experienced dancers, across a wonderful variety of genres. A real celebration of dance! Great job everyone.

I was also very proud to see how much progress has been made since the beginning of the year. Seeing the hard work, dedication and confidence translate onto the stage is incredibly rewarding. It’s a lovely reminder that progress takes time, but consistent work really does make a difference.

And yes, not to scare anyone, but I do love taking notes!
There is always something to learn, something to refine and another little detail to sharpen the choreography. Slow down, start again, repeat...until it becomes a second nature!

Thanks Alexandra Musical Society Inc for having kept dance alive all these years in our community!
Happy birthday 🎉

✈️ From keeping the skies safe to helping people move better.

Today, on International Air Traffic Controller Day, I’m celebrating the people who work behind the scenes to keep our skies safe — and bring people home safely.

For those who don't know, before massage therapy, Pilates, and dance became my daily work, I spent 17 years in the French Navy as an air traffic controller. A role where precision matters, awareness is constant, decisions count, and safety always comes first.

Those years shaped more than my professional skills. They shaped the way I approach my work today.

I bring that same attention to detail into every session. And you probably noticed!!
Different practices, one common thread: **precision, purpose and safety.**

I’m particularly passionate about working with people who have experienced or asked a lot of their bodies, and they simply want to keep doing the things they love as they get older.

Because recovery and movement aren't about pushing harder all the time. They're about understanding your body, knowing what it needs, and making informed choices. We recover smarter.

Today, I’m proud to celebrate my former colleagues in aviation and the values that continue to guide me in an entirely different profession.

It is the World Allied Health Professionals day 🤩

Today, we celebrate Allied Health Professionals Day — a reminder that good health is about supporting people to move, function, and live well.

Professional care means listening, understanding each person’s needs, and providing thoughtful, individualised care. It means working within our scope of practice, continuing to develop our skills, recognising when someone needs additional support, and connecting with other health professionals when appropriate.

Through Massage New Zealand (MANZ) and its connection with Allied Health Aotearoa New Zealand (AHANZ), massage therapy has a voice in the wider conversation about health, prevention and collaborative care. Every allied health profession impacts a different aspect of the individual: whānau wellness, physical (tinana), mental, emotional (hinengaro), and spiritual (wairua).

I am proud to collaborate with my colleagues in this space to improve quality of life for people in my community.

Footloose is a wrap!

Well... I said I would do one to tick the box.. And it is my second musical. I could not give a pass on Footloose presented by Alexandra Musical Society Inc

Such a joy to be back on stage with this wonderful bunch of amateur performers! 🎭❤️
Months of training, and celebrating all of us jumping into the uncomfortable sometimes..
We did awesome despite a few injuries..

Nothing a well deserved rest and good rehab can't fix!

Until next time! ✨
