About

Emma Mack
Founder and Owner
A former professional dancer and graduate of the Urdang academy on a full scholarship, with a diploma in professional dance. With ballet being an integral part of any dancer’s life for core stability and technique, it directly connects to the principles of Pilates. Hence many Pilates disciplines from the creator of Pilates - Joseph Pilates - originate from professional dance backgrounds.
‘I found my love for Pilates many years ago whilst training at college. It formed part of our weekly timetable to help with core strength and injuries. Fast forward some years, my passion for Reformer Pilates has expanded into an obsession for this style of training. ‘
‘Since gaining a qualification in this field and experience in teaching, I feel passionate about combining all the elements that I love in to my own unique teaching style involving technique, rhythm, breathing, music and moving collectively.
The joy of creating a community and helping people reach their goals, all whilst doing what I love in my gorgeous studio, makes me really the luckiest girl in the world!’

“Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things.” — Joseph Pilates
“Over five years ago, I attended a Reformer Pilates class and very quickly became obsessed. Committing fully to something I love—pushing myself beyond limitations and building strength beyond what I thought was possible—is incredible.
As a young female, I never connected with traditional sports, but when I found Pilates, everything changed. Without even realizing it, I came to truly believe that Pilates is mind over matter—and it is the mind itself that builds the body.
Seeing firsthand the desire and benefits of Pilates, I am deeply passionate about helping others on their Pilates journey. Together, let’s build a stronger core and a stronger mind.”

“As a proud and busy mum, I’ve worked as a beauty therapist and as a trained counsellor. I fell in love with Reformer Pilates over six years ago. Pilates has become my happy place—it’s my go-to for balancing my mind, body, and soul.
I’m passionate about helping others find that same joy and strength through movement. It’s amazing to see people transform and reach their goals, and I feel so lucky to be a part of their journey.
It’s not just about fitness—it’s about feeling like the best version of yourself.”

Amie was inspired to study the Pilates method after learning about Joseph Pilates himself and how he overcame his own health conditions through his method, Contrology.
Amie is enthusiastic and energetic, and her sessions reflect this. She encourages people to challenge their bodies and leave her classes feeling like their soul has been nourished.
