Simone is an independent dancer and choreographer having worked and trained in QLD. She was introduced to Pilates through her dance training and grew a strong connection with the practice. She completed her STOTT Pilates Certification while in QLD and began teaching Pilates as a form of injury prevention and rehabilitation. Soon after, she received an international contract with the STOTT PILATES studio in Montreal, Canada. A year in Montreal saw her working alongside highly skilled physiotherapists, osteopaths and massage therapists.
Since returning to Australia Simone has been based in Melbourne working and managing in numerous studios. She also started her own business ‘Workplace Body Conditioning’ focusing on ergonomic health. She has serviced The Australian Ballet Centre, The Arts Centre Melbourne, The Herald Weekly Times, VicRoads and the National Gallery of Victoria.
Now with an advanced level of STOTT Pilates Certification she specialises in spinal care, postural assessments/imbalances, pre and postnatal care, stretch therapy and injury prevention/rehabilitation. Simone believes that Pilates is an intelligent practice that should be applied to our everyday lifestyle. She promotes working to prevent imbalances in the body rather than waiting until a painful injury has occurred.
Simone is also undertaking a Masters of Choreography and is active in the Australian performing arts scene.
At Hartington Centre Simone takes 1:1 and 2:1 Pilates and Stretch Therapy.
1:1 Pilates sessions provide a tailored program to focus on the detailed needs of the client. Pilates in large groups can often skim over the integral technicalities of isolating muscle groups which ensure a safe and beneficial execution of an exercise. These 1:1 sessions allow the client to receive the full benefit of the Pilates method. Promoting spinal mobility, joint strength, flexibility and attention to the needs of the individuals body.
2:1 sessions invite you and a friend to do your Pilates together. Individual programs will be designed for each client separately and the structure will be similar to a 1:1 but shared between two. A wonderful experience to share with someone and a good way to keep each other on your toes!
Stretch Therapy is offered as 1:1 or 2:1. Stretching in a vital component to a balanced and functional body. Tightness or shortness throughout the musculoskeletal system can lead to referred injuries, pain, discomfort or dysfunctional movement. The Stretch Therapy sessions offer specialised techniques to safely stretch problem areas in an individuals body. Focus will also be places on the reasoning behind the tightness with a direction of prevention.
