Global Studio CPD Workshops
Physio-Led Pilates Education That Transforms Teams, Retains Clients & Elevates Your Studio’s Reputation
As a Women’s Health Physiotherapist, Clinical Pilates Rehabilitation Instructor, Global Teacher Trainer, and Founder of two international Pilates education companies, I’ve worked deeply with both injured clients and studio owners. I’ve now trained 66+ studios across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, UK, and Indonesia, teaching their teams how to confidently:
-
Modify for injuries without breaking class flow.
-
Support pre & postnatal clients safely and effectively.
-
Retain clients long-term by making them feel seen, supported, and safe.
Your instructors don’t need another anatomy lecture. They need real, usable skills that make them better in the next class they teach.
"The best course we’ve ever done. We walked away with practical tools and immediate confidence to handle any client who walks in." – Kristina, Form & Flow Pilates

The Reality for Most Studios
If you run a Pilates or group fitness studio, you’ve seen this happen:
-
A client walks in with hip bursitis, knee arthritis, a disc bulge… or announces she’s 28 weeks pregnant.
-
Your instructor panics the carefully prepared lesson plan gets tossed out.
-
They scramble to adjust on the fly, disrupting class flow and leaving the client feeling singled out.
The result?
-
Frustrated instructors.
-
Inconsistent client experience.
-
Lost members and damaged reputation.
This is the gap I fix

Claire – Pilates Collective Owner, South Coast NSW
"Your presentation exceeded my expectations, and the entire team is buzzing with excitement today. The way you delved into detailed content while making it digestible and easily applicable for our instructors was truly impressive. Your straightforward approach to group classes resonated with us, reinforcing the importance of simplicity.
From your training, everyone gained valuable insights and practical applications. Beyond the knowledge, the workshop has significantly boosted team morale, and I am grateful for the opportunity to provide this experience for them. Our members will undoubtedly benefit from the workshop, as we are now more confident in supporting various injuries and conditions while maintaining the quality of our group classes. I highly recommend you to any studio seeking to further educate their instructors in anatomy, injury, and pathologies."
