A Bit About Me
I have worked in the fitness industry for over 35 years. and now teach Pilates while working externally in women's health.
I offer a holistic approach to my classes, creating a safe space where people can have fun, improve their health and connect with one another.
I have a Master's Degree in Maternal-Child Health Systems and my thesis helped to spearhead a consumer engagement strategy for Women's Healthcare Australasia. External professional work includes:
- Consumer Partnerships Lead with the Women's Health Research Translation Network
- Co-founder of Lamaze Australia (NFP registered charity)
- Consumer Engagement Manager at the Centre for Digital Transformation of Health at Melbourne University
- Consumer & Community Lead for the Monash Centre for Health Research Implementation
I like to create a sense of community and inclusion in my classes. I enjoy seeing participants improve their health and I delight in the connections people make when working in groups.

Leslie has been working with me for over 20 years. Not only does she come with immense knowledge in the body and it's function, she comes with a wide range of experience and expertise. She has been able to grow her following, with clients changing gyms specifically to attend where Leslie will be teaching. She has a fantastic level of patience and empathy, allowing her to work with different fitness levels and varying levels of abilities. Her clients would highly rate Leslie's attention to detail in her classes, and would highly rate her standard and delivery. Leslie is a very reliable, caring and passionate instructor, and would make every participant feel welcome and important. An asset!
