  • Experience

    I’ve been instructing for almost 5 years now at studios all around Brisbane (including Function Well in 2020). I have been trained by lead instructors from New York and LA, which I credit for my unique and fun style of classes.

    For the last two years I have been the lead instructor at my own studio, which I founded and opened in 2020. I created my studio to be a place that allowed people to feel a sense of belonging and empowerment, and to use physical movement to enhance mental health. Now, I’m so excited to be returning to Function Well to continue teaching as I move into my post-graduate studies and continue to provide members here with an exceptional experience to enhance their bodies and minds through movement!

  • Philosophy

    My philosophy is centred around using movement as a tool to make you feel good, rather than just look good. Exercise is the world’s most effective way of enhancing mental health, but too often, people use it as a way of punishing themselves rather than something to look forward to. Movement is a time where you should be able to disconnect from the world and re-connect to yourself; to test your limits, build new confidence, and have fun! In my classes, everyone is welcome and everyone is safe. You’ll always leave feeling better than you did coming in.
