How Wild Pilates began
My story
I started teaching Pilates in 2014, coming from a background in personal training. I loved everything about it. The focus on core strength, the precision, the way it made people feel. So I completed my full training with STOTT Pilates and never looked back.
In 2017 I opened my own studio in Auckland and spent four incredible years working with some of the most amazing clients. But I kept coming back to the same thought. I wanted more people to be able to experience this.
So we took Wild Pilates online.
I started filming in the places I love most. Black-sand beaches, quiet forests, windswept clifftops all over Aotearoa and beyond. And somewhere along the way I realised that twenty minutes on your mat just hits differently when you’re moving alongside something wild. It stops feeling like another thing on the list and starts feeling like a proper escape.
After the success of our online studio we made it official. Closed the physical doors and went all in on reaching more people and filming in more beautiful locations.
These days I’m doing it all as a new mum too. I filmed our Wild Prenatal classes all the way through my own pregnancy, right up until 5 days before my daughter Billie arrived. And a full postnatal programme based on my own recovery, to support so many other mums through theirs.
Real life. Real seasons. That’s the bit I’m proudest of.
Affordable, effective movement for every season of your life, from the comfort of your own home. With a pretty good view in the background. Because this is where achievement meets escape.
I also write about pregnancy, postnatal recovery and moving well over on Wild Wellness.

The things I won’t budge on
Move for how you feel
Not how you look. Wild Pilates is about feeling strong, calm and doing something just for you.
Pilates for everyone, anywhere
Your lounge, a bach, the back yard. Wherever you are, your mat is enough.
Real people, real places
Filmed out in the wild across Aotearoa and beyond, movement for every season of your life.
We go at your pace here
No pressure, no comparison, just you showing up for yourself.
I’m doing this
alongside you
I’m a new mum, and Wild Pilates has grown right alongside my own life.
When I was pregnant I wanted to keep moving. Safely, gently, without having to get to a studio. So I filmed the classes I wished I’d had, all the way through every trimester, right up until 5 days before Billie arrived. That became Wild Prenatal. Every single movement is something I did myself, pregnant, on my own mat.
And then Billie arrived and the next chapter began. I built our postnatal programme from my own recovery, move by move, because I knew exactly what my body needed and I wanted every mum to have that too.
If you’re in either of these seasons, I’d love to move through it with you.
