With a strong passion to move people towards a better quality of life and believing Pilates plays a vital role in providing that service, Teri completed her STOTT Pilates Advanced Mat Work course in 2015 along with her Breathe EDU Cert IV course in 2018.

Teri also has a great passion for pre and postnatal care, with a love for helping mums and mums-to-be get strong and stay strong, pre and post natal. She has completed her antenatal and post natal course with Taube Pilates in 2019 as well as another course with APPI in 2020.

She has always loved practicing Pilates herself and now loves seeing the benefits Pilates provides to her clients – postural awareness, flexibility, strength and all round fitness!

“We live in a world where there is a lot of sitting for long hours, focusing on computers and driving, and unfortunately our postures are affected by this sedentary lifestyle. I hope that by creating postural awareness and getting people moving they are able to be more in-tune with their posture and body.”

Teri loves seeing the smile on her clients’ faces after they have completed a Pilates class.

“That particular smile reserved for a class that leaves them feeling mentally and physically challenged, happier and stronger!”

Teri’s grounded upbringing and the love and support of her big family ensures she genuinely cares about her clients, and she enjoys seeing smiles on their faces, whether it’s through a great Pilates class or just a good chat.

When she’s not treating at her studio , Teri loves to perform yoga, Pilates, running, walks along the beach, drinking red wine and relaxing with her beautiful family!

After commencing Pilates around 14 years ago following an injury, Tessa fell in love with how good it was for the body and mind, leading her to want to teach it and share her love of movement and helping people’s bodies’ to work as well as they are made to.

“I love helping people to move, get stronger, feel strong and to feel good.”

She completed her Pilates studies with Polestar Pilates International, graduating in May 2018 and now enjoys teaching all aspects of Pilates and aiding in a wide range of conditions.

Outside of work, Tessa enjoys getting out for a surf, yoga, more Pilates, being outdoors (especially the beach) and because she’s a bit of a film buff – watching movies.

Alana has been practicing Pilates since 2013 when a friend dragged her along to a mat class. She instantly fell in love and has never looked back!

As a myotherapist, Alana has always used exercise prescription to help continue her client’s recovery so it was only natural that she combines her personal love for Pilates with her professional career.

“I love the idea of working with people to get them out of pain and doing what they love from the beginning of their treatment plan all the way through to returning to what ever it is that makes them happy. “I love the diverse way [Pilates] can be used to help people feeling healthier, happier and stronger, no matter their current skills.”

Alana completed her Matwork certification with Studio Pilates in 2019 and now uses her Pilates training for fitness as well as in a rehabilitation setting. Alana is also currently completing her reformer training with Polestar Pilates International.

Outside of work, Alana does calisthenics and plays touch rugby, but also loves going for long walks with her adorable dog, Dexter, drinking delicious red wine with friends or relaxing a home with a good book.

Michelle has practised Pilates for more than 10 years after being introduced to the movement form after an injury.

She loved how Pilates stretched and strengthened her body and mind, and allowed her to manage injury and muscle tightness safely through movement.

“Pilates became an integral part of my lifestyle and its philosophy of movement really resonated with me. I love that you can walk out of your class feeling taller, more aligned and energised. I’m passionate about exercise that’s good for the body and soul and Pilates is certainly that!”

Michelle completed her Reformer Pilates studies with Polestar Pilates International in 2019 as a partial career change from her desk-based job as a health communications professional.

“After so many years spent at a desk, I’m excited to begin my instructor career with Life Ready and can’t wait to share my passion for movement with others.”

Outside of work, Michelle enjoys beach walks, cooking, a good Podcast or TV series and being a mother to a very busy two-year-old (with a second on the way!)
