From playing competitive sport at a young age, Martha realises the importance of being active for both the mind and body. She participated in various sports, with hockey later becoming her passion, where she competed with her teams at numerous national championship competitions and also in the premier league. Teamwork and dedication are skills she carries through life.

 

Her knowledge about the influence of a healthy lifestyle was furthered during her studies of Sport and Exercise Science and a masters in Sports Therapy. She learnt about the effects of nutrition on the body’s systems and also the preventive mechanisms of illness and injury that exercise possesses.

 

Martha’s experiences treating injured patients during her Sports Therapy placement, and from becoming injured herself, means she understands the debilitating effects that injury and illness can have and therefore the importance of good rehabilitation and consistency. From working with many people, often with the same injury, she recognises that every person is unique and requires their own rehabilitation plan. She enjoys working with people to improve their quality of life and assist them to achieve their goals.

 

Martha believes that exercise improves day to day productivity and state of mind. She attributes her organisational and driven nature to balancing both work and exercise.

 

In her free time, Martha continues to play hockey and also enjoys running in parks around London and cooking healthy dishes.

Natalia has had a passion for dance from a very young age. During her time at school, she had the opportunity to immerse herself in a wide range of dance styles through artistic workshops. These included traditional Chilean folklore, various Latin American dances, cheerleading, as well as modern and contemporary dance. These experiences allowed her to develop a deep appreciation for the diverse forms of expression within the world of dance.

 

This passion for movement and expression led Natalia to pursue a comprehensive education in Dance, with a specialization in Contemporary Dance, at ARCIS University. It was during her studies that she was introduced to the Pilates Technique, which profoundly impacted her approach to physical fitness and well-being. The dynamic and fluid nature of Pilates exercises resonated with her, and she was inspired by the rapid and tangible results it delivered in terms of strengthening and toning the body.

 

After completing her degree, she decided to deepen her involvement in Pilates by pursuing training as a Pilates mat and comprehensive instructor at Pilatesqi Chile. This additional training has allowed Natalia to expand her expertise and share her passion for Pilates with others.

 

Throughout her career, she has continuously sought out new approaches and methods to enhance her understanding of movement and physical expression. Currently, her primary focus is on integrating the principles of dance and Pilates to create a unique and holistic approach that emphasises fluidity, strength, and the mind-body connection.

 

Natalia’s commitment to personal and professional growth is unwavering. She is deeply passionate about sharing the numerous benefits of Pilates with her students and clients, and she is dedicated to contributing to their overall happiness and well-being through movement and mindful exercise.
