Helen discovered Pilates after years of yoga, running and gym with persistent back pain and poor posture 21 years ago. Life had been pretty hectic for 18 years in the corporate world as an advertising Art Director and a change in career was needed.
Helen has been teaching Pilates for 17 years and is Level 3 Diploma certified after training with both APMA and PAA in Melbourne at National Pilates Training Centre. She keeps up with ongoing professional development workshops and conferences and is especially interested in areas of bone density strengthening and conditioning for sport.
After working at various Pilates studios in Melbourne Helen opted for country life in Castlemaine in 2011 and hasn’t looked back. She loves seeing the progressive change in peoples’ bodies and how Pilates can have such a positive effect on all aspects of their daily lives.
When not in the Pilates studio Helen is usually being creative in her art studio painting, printmaking or drawing. She is also a keen cyclist. Helen is at the Pilates studio on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays and will be opening Thursday mornings for classes.
