Liz’s path to movement education began long before her first Pilates class. With an early background in dance and Feldenkrais, and an honours degree in veterinary science, she brings a rare blend of scientific curiosity and embodied understanding to her teaching.

Liz began practising Pilates in 1993 and is one of Perth’s most highly trained and experienced practitioners. As a Principal Trainer Member of the Pilates Association of Australia she holds multiple certifications in mat, reformer, studio and rehabilitation Pilates.

Liz founded The Perth Pilates Studio in 2000 and led it until 2019, when she sold the business to focus on teacher training. She has been part of the Polestar Pilates faculty since 2002 and is a senior educator and examiner presenting internationally. She has also trained barre instructors since 2011.

Over the years, Liz has worked with high-level athletes including members of the Australian National Cycling Team, the West Australian Football League, the West Australian Ballet, and cast members of major musicals.

She is passionate about helping people move well, understand their bodies and experience Pilates as a lifelong, sustainable practice rather than a short-term fix.
