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, practical experience and embodied understanding to her teaching.

Liz began practising Pilates in 1993 and has worked in the industry for more than 25 years. As a Principal Trainer Member of the Pilates Association Australia, she holds extensive qualifications in mat, reformer, studio and rehabilitation Pilates.

Liz founded The Perth Pilates Studio in 2000 and led the business for more than two decades, growing it into Western Australia’s largest Pilates studio and teacher training facility. During this time she developed and launched Western Australia’s first comprehensive Pilates teacher training program and established the studio as a host site for Polestar Pilates professional education.

Liz has been a member of the Polestar Pilates faculty since the early 2000s and is a Senior Educator and examiner. Her work includes professional and vocational education, curriculum and learning resource development, assessment, mentoring and the development of educators. She has presented professional education in Australia and internationally and has helped develop many instructors, educators and mentors throughout their careers.
