I discovered Pilates while living in Melbourne. Upon moving to country Victoria, I began my training to be a teacher through Breathe Education. At the same time, I was fortunate to find my current mentor, Wade Edwell, who is Australia's only 2nd Generation teacher trained by Jay Grimes, who himself, trained and worked with Joseph Pilates. Initially apprenticed to Wade and his partner Trevor at their studio Proper Pilates, I eventually began working with them. In time I grew to become a leading member of their team, responsible for assisting Wade in education workshops and seminars for teachers and trainees. I am still involved with Proper Pilates and remain a mentee of Wade. I continue to assist him in training when in Victoria. I have also had the special pleasure of training with Vintage Pilates, home of Jay Grimes, as well as attending their international workshops in Dubai and Los Angeles.
