PAA Certified Pilates Teacher

National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach

As a young competitive swimmer, Lucy was suffering lower back pain and sciatica from a bulging lumbar disc. Under the advisement of a Physio, Lucy began practicing Pilates in 1998. She was absolutely amazed that after only a short time she was mostly pain free and was an immediate convert to the method! Pilates has been a significant part of her life ever since. She has discovered that an added happy benefit to regular Pilates practice is significant improvement in her swimming and other athletic pursuits.

Lucy moved to California in 2001 to complete her PhD in Microbiology at Stanford University where she met her husband while swimming in the local Masters Swimming program. After becoming a mother Lucy decided to switch gears and study to become a Pilates Instructor. She earned a Comprehensive Certification from Balanced Body while living in Santa Cruz. This new avenue has opened up a whole new world of exploration for Lucy and she loves to continually expand her knowledge, repertoire and skills in Pilates and other health and wellness modalities.

Lucy is passionate about helping people to work towards the healthiest version of themselves and has more than 12 years experience teaching individualised Pilates movement. She loves to work with people in all stages of physical health from those needing rehabilitation and/or encouragement and tools to get moving, to those experienced movers who desire a full body athletic workout. She focuses on alignment and body mechanics for balanced muscle development and fitness as well as self- massage for pain relief and muscle health.

Lucy is also a Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and through coaching Lucy can help guide you to develop and take steps towards a compelling vision for your future health. Lucy finds it truly exciting to experience the profound changes and improvements her clients make with her guidance and encouragement both through her exercise instruction and Health Coaching.

Lucy grew up on a farm in Bathurst, NSW and has always been passionate about sports and physical recreation such as swimming, running, hiking, and mountain biking. From the farm to the ocean she has always appreciated nature, its challenges and beauties. Lucy is excited to work with you and help you work towards your best self!
