Kim has always had a love for exercise and how movement can heal the body. Movement has always been a part of Kim’s life with a love for swimming, walking, hiking and of course Pilates, which she adopted into her everyday life six years ago.

Learning about how the body can heal through movement became such a strong interest that she decided to pursue her career in Pilates and completed a Diploma of Polestar Pilates Studio and Rehabilitation in 2017. Throughout Kim’s pregnancy journey, Pilates was the only exercise that was gentle enough, yet also so targeted that her body had support and could flow with the constant changes.

Becoming a Mum in 2018 taught Kim more about the importance of self care, and gave her the motivation to pass on her learnings about the essence of breath and moving the body in a conscious way.

Her passion is to help people discover how they can help alleviate pain, restore healthy movement patterns and maintain a happy, balanced mind and body.
