Ever feel like you just can't get out of pain or return to a regular (FUN!) movement routine? Want to try a new type of activity but learning something new feels overwhelming at the moment, or maybe you have to be really careful how you exercise? Doing thoughtful Pilates exercises gets your body moving and back to doing the activities you love, especially when taught by a gal whose super-powers include loads of patience and a warm personality!
I offer online group classes & workshops as of Sept 2021 I am fully booked for in-person private lessons. To find when I'm taking new private clients, please join my mailing list. Book a free online discovery call so we can chat about what you're looking for and which classes would be best for you! I look forward to my workout every week and I can see a great difference in my muscle tone and strength.
Nicole is knowledgeable, professional and supportive. I highly recommend her for beginners and experienced students of Pilates looking for thoughtful one on one instruction.

To me, movement means freedom.
Freedom to do the activities I love outside and inside, freedom from chronic pain, and freedom to learn and experience life through all my senses.
Physical movement is simply the start of a cascade.
Once your body begins to move more, your brain begins to sparkle more, you begin to see more joy in daily life, which affects your relationship with your community, which creates changes in other parts of your life.
Sure, my students come to me with specific pains and movements they want to do.

How would your life be different if your hypermobile body could get stronger and move with joy?
In these workshops, we teach you - the bendy-bodied human - how to stabilize your body through thoughtful, controlled movement that progressively builds strength and promotes ease along with the ability to move in more of the ways you want.
We - Paige Raffo, Physical Therapist and Nicole Sheldrake, Pilates teacher - are extremely proud and excited to offer this collaboration of Physio, Pilates and self-discovery to support the needs of bendy bodies.

Group classes are live online sessions where we move the spine in all directions, and keep a feeling of flow and fun throughout.
Classes are targerted to people with hypermobility syndromes and use small props to add challenge/support.
Props can be hand weights, towels, pillows, a chair, canned goods or balls, etc.
I will definitely be back, because like all GOOD trainers should do - they SHOULD actually spot you, give you good information and help you with your workouts.
The great thing about Nicole is that she uses vivid (and sometimes funny) visual descriptions that help me understand the moves better.

For some class series, we DO record the live class and send it to each person registered.
Only the instructor will be on the recording that's sent out - any audio or video that shows students is edited out.
All registrants will receive recordings of the education and movement experience segments of the class.
These are pre-recorded but cover the same material as in class.
This is one of the participants' favourite parts of the live class!
You will be divided into small groups (1-2 people) to discuss a question (for about 5 minutes) relating to what you're learning in class.
