I was born with hip dysplasia, which means my hip socket didn’t fully form the way it should. As I grew, it developed into Perthes disease — a childhood condition where the blood supply to the head of the femur is temporarily disrupted, affecting how the bone develops.
As a baby, I travelled to Canada for my first hip surgery.
When I was 11, I came to Australia to visit family and had a review on my hip. It turned out I needed another surgery the following year. At 12, I had a triple osteotomy — my pelvis was repositioned to better support my hip joint, secured with a plate and three pins. After surgery, I went back to Zimbabwe for rehab.
That’s where I was introduced to Pilates.
It made a huge difference. I felt stronger, more stable, and more confident in my body. What started as rehab became something I genuinely loved — and it stayed with me.
Over time, that experience led me to study Pilates, then fascial stretch therapy and bodywork. Everything I offer clients today is rooted in what helped me through my own recovery and ongoing care.
I understand what it’s like to navigate pain, surgery, and rebuilding strength. I also know how powerful the right support and education can be.
The way I work isn’t just clinical — it’s informed by lived experience.
And that’s why I care so much about helping people move well, feel strong, and trust their bodies again.
