MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I'm Kim!

My fascination for the human body combined with a curiosity in what makes people tick has steered a path of professional discovery spanning over 25 years. I’ve delved into various mind-body works, science-based anatomical and musculoskeletal methods and also completed university studies in Exercise Science, Nutrition and Health Science.

Years of practice as a qualified Personal Trainer and Pilates Instructor has polished my practical skills whilst my business acumen has been refined from managing fitness centres in New Zealand and abroad as well as previously owning a successful health and wellness business in the North Island. 

I’ve been told I’m a natural at teaching and inspiring others.  It’s certainly where I get the most gratitude in what I do and I genuinely believe with the right balance of awareness, care and planning everyone has the ability to enhance their own health and wellbeing.

Self is a culmination of my learnings and experiences working with all kinds of people from around the world and I’m excited to share my expertise with the Alexandra community.

Dip.Ex.Sci, Dip.LC, BHlthSc. (Integrated Human Health) - Scholar  Pilates Comprehensive Instructor - Mat and Apparatus, Injuries & Special Populations, Yin, Franklin Method, Myofascial Release.      Wellbeing and Mindfulness Coach.                                          StretchFit Practitioner.      

We start with becoming Self Aware, noticing and recognising where you are at in the present to build an understanding of where you want to be.

We then move into Self Care, building foundations and gaining the tools and resources you need to move better, embrace new habits and make healthy lifestyle changes. As you become more aware and learn self care you become more empowered.

At Self our vision is to create a studio that is welcoming and inspiring. It’s a place where knowledge is openly shared so that members can be empowered to live their best life.

The philosophy of Self is rooted in the belief that instruction alone sustains someone for a moment, but equipping them with the skills to help themselves creates lasting change.

FIND BALANCE & NURTURE YOURSELF

Through a blend of guided workshops and self-led practices, we empower you to cultivate lasting mental and physical wellness.

Our holistic approach combines modalities of movement, mindful practices, and personal development to help you create meaningful change. Within our studio we house a range of mobility and stretch apparatus including the popular pilates reformers.
