WHAT THE PROFESSIONALS ARE SAYING ABOUT MAGGIE
Maggie is a fantastic teacher who really has a great eye for how the body moves and what structures are orchestrating the movement. She has a fantastic anatomical knowledge and can modify exercises to suit the individual. Maggie's classes give a different perspective and approach to teaching Pilates, which I have found really helpful with my clients. She has also been instrumental in teaching me how to properly use breathing to assist with maintaining correct posture throughout movements and in finding and utilising a deep core connection in Pilates exercises. Lauren Starr, Physiotherapist, Clinical Pilates Teacher, Healesville Victoria.
Maggie’s workshops and private sessions have benefited my practice as an Acupuncturist by giving me a somatic experience of the science and philosophy of alignment and movement in regards to pain but also to general health. Maggie’s in-depth knowledge and experience of the body is inspiring and insightful. I recommend her sessions to anyone who has an interest in health. Pip Atherstone-Reid, Chinese Medicine Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, Owner of Kundalini House Melbourne.
Maggie’s sessions are always an inspiration. Organic cues that just tap into the body’s senses and go right to the heart of the exercise making the movements efficient & more accurate. Maggie has a fabulous eye that can see exactly where the faulty patterns & tensions are that are impeding correct movement. By getting a much better idea about my own ‘cheats’/weaknesses I have a far greater insight into the compensatory movements of the bodies I work with. I always come away having learned a lot more about my own body, the essence of the specific exercises & how to use them to greatest effect. I find myself using a lot of Maggie’s cues & imagery with my clients and people just get them - very powerful stuff. Shonadh, Pilates Professional, Melbourne Australia
Maggie has a great eye for detail and plenty of creative cues that really illustrate what she wants you to do and feel very well. Maggie is a very focused instructor and gives 100% in every session. Every session makes me feel inspired, energised and excited for the next one! An experience I would highly recommend to all instructors.

I'M MAGGIE.
I am a Pilates educator with twenty four years of international teaching experience. I am a graduate of the Master’s Program at The Pilates Centre in Boulder, Colorado, I hold a degree in research methods and am a qualified Chi Running® coach. I have enjoyed a dynamic career, working in athlete training facilities, biomedical clinics and studios across Australia and North America. My clients have included those with complex injury and chronic pain, a diverse range of professional sportspeople, paralympians and Olympic gold medallists.
My teaching is strongly influenced by my commitment to translating the Pilates method into fluid and efficient running form. I deliver private sessions and workshops to movement practitioners and running coaches internationally. I thrive on my continuing education and growth as a practitioner, in particular through my connection to The Pilates Centre in Boulder, the Chi Running® instructor community and my somatic studies with Alice Cummins. I have practiced Pilates every day since I began teaching in 1999. I love the way it gives me the ability to tackle challenging hikes in remote wilderness areas and run in a way that feels amazing to my body.
I find Maggie’s sessions rewarding both physically and mentally. Maggie is a highly intuitive teacher who picks up on what my body needs and challenges me in different ways each time. I always come away with new ideas to explore with the clients I teach. Shannon Riggs, Pilates ITC Educator, Perth.
Maggie has a unique way of explaining how to execute a movement so that it actually translates into your own body. From my work with Maggie, I understand my body. I have become stronger. I move and feel better. I have become more confident with my teaching and my clients are feeling great. Zoe Mcarthy, Pilates Professional, NSW.
Maggie’s workshops have been very informative and provided me with a new perspective on how to move my own body and how to cue others. I always leave Maggie’s sessions feeling more enlightened about the Pilates Method and movement in general. Kath Banks, National Pilates Training Faculty Educator, Melbourne
Maggie's thorough study, and teaching, of Pilates has led her to be an important contributor to the world of endurance running. There are points of information, developed by Maggie, that reach far beyond the normal study of human movement, and open doors to explorations far beyond the act of running, giving a whole new meaning to the term "performance." Danny Dreyer, Founder and author of ChiRunning, ChiWalking and ChiLiving, Ashville North Corolina, USA.
