After feeling the benefits of Pilates on the mat, Theresa changed careers in 2010 to embark on the journey of continuous learning about movement and Pilates. What started off as Mat work with Body Control Pilates UK in 2011, changed into an in depth study of Pilates on all the equipment through the BASI Comprehensive Teacher Training in 2016.

With a passion for helping people, strengthening the mature client and those with special conditions, she finds the Pilates method as the perfect way to challenge, assist and modify exercises to suit everybody!

As a BASI student, Theresa visited the States to complete the BASI Legacy Program with Founder, Rael Isacowitz and other workshops and courses includes:

• Pilates for Injuries and Pathologies 2013 and again in 2024
• Pilates for Osteoporosis
• Pilates for Active Ageing
• Pre and Postnatal Pilates
• Pilates for Kids
• Pilates for Men
• Pilates for Triathletes
• Pilates for Stretching (Innovations in Pilates/Anthony Lett)
• Athletic Reformer

Theresa owned her own studio in Qatar and served the Doha community for 11 years before moving to Auckland in 2022. Originally from South Africa, Theresa and her partner enjoy walks in nature, meetups with friends, reading and the movies. She is committed to excellence, finding a deeper mind-body connection and continuous learning.
