Hello there, I’m Alex!
I recently married my partner Dan and it was the most amazing day we could have asked for. We live on our dairy farm in Purnim. I love our life on the farm and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else!
My love for Pilates started when I studied my first degree Nutritional Medicine (BHSc) at Endeavour College. No other exercise style made me feel as strong, calm and confident in my body as Pilates so I later did my teacher training.
Most recently, I have completed my masters in education and became a primary school teacher! I love my job at my local school.
