Kris started practicing Pilates out of curiosity while studying in Sydney. An invitation to attend class with Pilates Elder Ron Fletcher (1921-2011) led to her studying the work with him since 2004 and serving as Faculty for Fletcher Pilates® 2008-2014. Kris has a special interest in working with women and the female body, particularly through transitions and transformations like pregnancy, postpartum & motherhood, hysterectomy and peri menopause/menopause. As co-founder of Pilates BodyTree and BodyTree Academy, she was instrumental in launching the Academy’s Pilates teacher training program in 2013.
Kris is an attentive, intuitive and trauma-aware teacher. She holds quality movement in high esteem but also believes in meeting you where you are in your personal journey.
Her approach stems from helping you feel more at ease and confident in your own body, by facilitating self-awareness and developing movement agency.
