I am originally from Belgium and studied architectural engineering in the Netherlands where I have worked as a projectmanager for 8 years. I 'm also a portrait photographer, an observer and I always search for effortless movements which result in beautiful shapes.

 

A fascination for movement, posture and the human body shape have led me to Pilates.

25 years of ballet had given me some idea of how to carry myself but it was only after studying the Pilates Method that I got some real insight on how the human body moves and how it shapes itself.

I started doing Pilates out of curiosity and I was immediately hooked. Regular classes with my first  classical Pilates teacher, Catarina Palma,  resulted in a dramatic change in body shape and gave me more stamina and strength than I had ever had. My ‘port de bras’ had never looked this beautiful and any stress from work or life faded away.  I needed to know all about this Pilates Method!  I spent my savings on getting certified.  Bob Liekens was my Master trainer  (Power Pilates) and in 2026 I will have been teaching for 15 years.

​

Since then I have become a mother. I have lived in a few places , learned a few languages, made some friends and picked up a few new hobbies. 

​

I have never stopped teaching, practicing and studying Pilates.  I have done over 10 years of continuing education with 2nd and 3rd generation classical teachers.  I take Pilates with me wherever I go.  A bit like a hermit crab takes its shell wherever it goes.

​

My Pilates studio is my shell. 

I am now here in Houston.
