Our Story
My journey with Pilates began long before LIVI Pilates House.
After being diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system and can make everyday activities feel overwhelming, I found myself struggling to recognize my body. There was a season of life when I was largely homebound, exhausted, and simply trying to make it through each day.
Movement that once felt natural no longer felt accessible.
During that time, I discovered Pilates.
What began as gentle movement in my pajamas on the floor of my apartment became a lifeline. Pilates was one of the only forms of exercise my body could tolerate, and day by day, it helped me rebuild strength, confidence, and trust in myself. I practiced consistently, often moving through the same exercises every day, slowly rehabilitating my body until I was strong enough to attend classes in a studio setting.
As my health improved, my appreciation for the Pilates method deepened.
I was inspired by the work of Joseph Pilates. Joseph Pilates developed his method originally called Contrology, as a way to create balanced strength, improve movement, and help people feel better in their bodies. What I experienced first hand was exactly that. Movement that didn't just challenge me, but helped restore me.
My passion for Pilates grew into a calling.
I completed over 550 hours of comprehensive classical Pilates training, immersing myself in the original method and learning how to help others experience the same strength, confidence, and transformation that Pilates gave me.
After spending sometime teaching, I opened a small private studio in my home garage. What started as a simple space to teach quickly grew into something much bigger. Through private sessions, community classes, and local events throughout Melbourne and Satellite Beach, I watched people experience the same sense of connection and empowerment that had first drawn me to Pilates.
And that's how LIVI was born.
Inspired by the idea of living fully, moving intentionally, and feeling alive in your body, LIVI Pilates House was created to be more than a workout. It's a place where movement and community come together. A place to build strength, find balance, and feel supported. A place to belong.
Most importantly, it's a place to come home to your body.
