Hi! My name is Kimi and I’ve been teaching as a mat, reformer but primarily comprehensive studio Pilates teacher for 15 years in Melbourne. I started my fitness career as a group fitness instructor and Personal Trainer before I soon discovered the intelligent nature of the Pilates repertoire and I knew I had to know all about it! 

I completed my diploma of Pilates instruction through Polestar Pilates in 2009 and went on to become a mentor and educator for the Melbourne courses for 10 years. In this time, I had the privilege of working closely with physiotherapists, sports medicine doctors, women’s health physios and other allied health practitioners which gave me a sound understanding of biomechanical retraining and using Pilates as movement therapy. 

I owned my own successful physical studio The Pilates Vibe for 5 years before converting the business solely online to make more time for family, after which I birthed my baby girl Arika.  

Today, I teach the mat, reformer and studio course for Body Organics in Melbourne under The Pilates Vibe. I am a L2 Principle Trainer with Pilates Association Australia which is the highest level of membership attainable, and have presented at the bi-annual PAA national conference on Pilates and Pregnancy. 

I currently teach primarily from Seaview Health Group in Beaumaris and am so passionate about helping people understand their body. I think my superpower is being able to educate clients on WHY certain movements will help them, and HOW to take control of their own movement health. I love to educate…but it doesn’t mean I’m going to go easy on my clients (insert evil smile here). 

In my non-existent spare time as a mum to a toddler and a dopey Labrador/ goldie puppy, I love being outdoors playing at the park, camping or heading to the beach!
