Active since I was a kid and I never stopped
I started moving at 4 years old with ballet and discovered the gym at 15, never stopped. Movement was never a phase for me, it became a lifelong curiosity and passion.
This is not another online coaching.
Pain doesn’t mean you should stop moving!
It means you need the right guidance to rebuild confidence, strength, and trust in your body again using a method that blends physiotherapy, Pilates, and strength training. Stop letting pain stop you!

Dubai taught me how to guide people, not just treat them
After five years of experience, I moved to Dubai and spent seven years teaching group Pilates classes at Jumeirah Group Hotels, guiding people with very different bodies, needs, and levels.
Strength training became part of my profession
My long-time love for the gym evolved into professional training. I became a certified personal trainer, learning how to build strength, symmetry, and confidence without ignoring limitations.

Everything comes together in MOVE 2 IMPROVE
Today, I combine physiotherapy, Pilates, and strength training into a fun, effective, and realistic approach. I don’t treat “lower back pain”, I guide people. I look at the whole body, the lifestyle, and the goals, so movement actually improves life.
Personalized mentoring: because your body, your pain, and your goals are not generic
A fully tailored approach that blends physiotherapy, pilates and strength training, applied at the right dose for your body, so pain improves while performance moves forward.
From returning after injury to supporting committed athletes, everything is adapted to your body, your limitations, and your goals. I guide the process, but progress only happens when we work as a team.
Online LIVE group classes: move, train, and feel supported from home

The classes are not personalized and are ideal if you enjoy training with others, need accountability, or want to feel part of a community. Finally the group classes vibes
