Sonia grew up in Adelaide, then went on to live and study in London. Gaining her honours degree in Physiotherapy at St Georges University of London in 2009, she went on to work in the NHS, then specialising in musculoskeletal health in private practice in Kent and London.

​

Alongside working at a private Sports Physiotherapy Clinic, she began teaching Pilates to clinic clients in 2014.

 

Originally undertaking training in both matwork and equipment courses with the APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute), her curiosity and passion for Pilates grew and she decided to undertake further extensive training to fully understand the true essence of the Pilates Method. Sonia undertook a 9 month mentorship under Lesley Logan, 2nd Generation teacher. Sonia is now a Comprehensively trained, 3rd Generation Classical Pilates Teacher. 

 

This means she has trained to teach on all of the pieces of equipment invented by Joseph Pilates and teach his original method, as closely as possible.

 

"3rd Generation Teacher" means that her teacher Lesley Logan (2nd Gen.) was trained extensively under a direct student of Joseph Pilates (Jay Grimes, Pilates Elder). 

​

With her years of experience and knowledge of both Clinical and Classical Pilates, Sonia now offers services to other Pilates teachers through workshops and on a mentorship basis, by offering support and advice regarding their own clients who have injuries or chronic conditions.

 

Sonia returned to Adelaide in 2024 and has a beautiful Pilates studio full of equipment which provides her with a broad range of exercises she can work with to suit each and every client she comes across.

 

She is very passionate about helping people be the strongest version of themselves to allow them to maintain an active lifestyle, and be the best they can be. Whether that be at their preferred sport, being able to tend to their garden, or simply just feeling great in their bodies every single day.
