Kerry qualified as a physiotherapist in Johannesburg in 1994, there she worked in a private hospital where she ran the hand therapy unit until 1997. She decided to further her education and immigrated to Perth where she completed a post-graduate diploma in upper limb injuries and hand rehabilitation from Curtin University. From there the bright lights of Sydney beckoned and she moved across where she developed an interest in Pilates. Having completed her certification from Body, Arts and Science, Kerry began her own practice, combining both her Physiotherapy and Pilates knowledge, which enable her to offer a comprehensive rehabilitation option. She went on to complete an Advanced Diploma of Pilates Practice through Pilates International and her studio also is a mentoring studio for Pilates International students. Kerry presents at Post Graduate Pilates courses nationally.

Laura completed an Advanced Diploma in Health Science in 2007. She spent the next 7 years honing her skills as a therapist, working in and later also managing a busy soft tissue therapy clinic. An episode of lower back pain led Laura to Pilates, first as a student herself. Noting the wonderful benefits for her own control, power and posture, she became qualified as an instructor – first in matwork and then later in the full studio and rehabilitation method.

Laura believes in an holistic model for physical rehabilitation and health. She enjoys taking her clients beyond core stability, and into movement that is not only robust and efficient, but also joyful and beautiful.

Pilates became my passion when I experienced such good results after I had several injuries.

Having done pilates for 14 years, I decided to become an instructor in my sixties, taking two years to qualify as a level 1 Pilates instructor….all with incredible input and encouragement from Kerry at Align.

My aim is to keep us balanced with good core control, flexibility, stability, strength and mobility…and have fun.
