Testimonials:

  • Sue

    “Lauren was always supportive of my teaching, helping me to know where I can improve with cueing, timing, technique and creating class plans. 

    She always had my back whilst I was working with her, encouraging me and supporting me with my teaching. 

    Lauren is a fantastic teacher, and a beautiful soul.”

  • Kelsie

    “Lauren has been one of the most influential mentors in my Pilates journey, and I genuinely would not be the instructor I am today without her guidance. She taught me everything I know, from the foundations of movement and technique to the deeper understanding of cueing, client care, and professionalism within the Pilates industry. What truly sets Lauren apart is her ability to balance honesty with encouragement.”

  • Jess

    “Lauren has had an enormous impact on my journey as a Pilates instructor, and became a mentor in every sense of the word - supporting, guiding, and backing me throughout my training and well beyond qualification. Sharing her knowledge of anatomy, cueing and facilitating classes with intention, I can confidently say I would not be the instructor I am today without her influence.”

  • Amy

    “I was honestly raving about Mel’s mentorship for weeks after her training. I’ve never experienced an instructor who’s so good at educating, not just instructing. Her depth of knowledge and genuine passion for Pilates and the body really stand out. On top of that, she’s so bubbly and lively as a person, which makes everything feel more engaging, welcoming, and open. Highly recommend learning from her !!”

  • Arna

    “It’s not every day that you meet someone who genuinely reminds you why you fell in love with Pilates in the first place. Mel is one of those people. Her passion for the practice is felt immediately through her movement vocabulary, her deep understanding of body placement, muscular load, flow, and her incredible connection to both the client and the work itself.

    Mel is a true asset to the Pilates industry and, quite simply, one of those genuinely good humans you feel lucky to learn from.”

  • Chloe

    “Grateful to have been mentored by Mel. A lot of the praise I receive now I share with her, whether she knows it or not. 

    If you’re looking for a supportive role model in your instructor journey, I cannot recommend her highly enough. As an instructor, Mel has such an engaging energy and this is something I believe I have learnt from her - how to connect to your clients and foster mindfulness during your classes. Mel’s guidance left me feeling confident and I’m forever thankful.”
