Ali is highly qualified as a Clinical Pilates & Somatics Instructor.

It was through her background as a therapist for her youngest child that has provided her with a very deep understanding of movement, the brain and one’s belief system. Her daughter has a brain injury as the result of a very traumatic birth. From years of therapy, movement and healing along with a deep understanding of what her daughter was capable of achieving, Ali taught her to walk and move which has enabled her now to live an incredible independent life.

For Ali, movement is a part of her everyday life. She understands the impact of how one’s life becomes embedded within our nervous system. Hence why she is committed to practising somatic’s daily. She combines this with regular pilates sessions throughout the week focussing on strength, flexibility and control.

In her spare time Ali can be found with her family exploring the wilderness as she has a real love and appreciation for the bush, rivers and mountains of New Zealand. 

Ali & her family love the outdoors, they live a simple life of adventure in nature. You’ll find them tramping, photographing and exploring in the mountains of the South Island of New Zealand.

For Ali when she has a pack on her back and is climbing that next ridge experiencing the ethereal beauty of nature she feels an immense sense of peace and freedom.
