BALANCE ME

06/06/2026

Helping you feel better isn't just about what happens on the treatment table.
At Balance Me, Bowen Therapy and Pilates work hand-in-hand. I'll help your body release tension and find better balance, then give you practical movement strategies to help those changes last.
I'll be back in the clinic on Monday and ready to help you move with more ease. ✨

Legs 🦵 up if you LOVE Pilates!
I may have accidentally started a Pilates class on the Heaphy Track... 😆
After a big day of hiking, a few stretches turned into a room full of people with their legs in the air.
The best part? Seeing everyone stand up afterwards and say, "Wow, that feels so much better!"
There were also a few Bowen treatments needed ☺️
Pilates & Bowen is the perfect tramping companion.

A wee Friday Pilates + Latte's catch-up ☕

A few of our Friday 9am team enjoyed a post-Pilates coffee together this morning, because while movement is important, so is a good chat 😉.

One of the loveliest things about our Balance Me community is seeing friendships grow alongside stronger cores!

Also a big warm welcome also to our newest team members: Sonia & Naomi joining the Tuesday team and Kerry joining the Thursday team 👏 We’re so happy to have you with us.

PS so sorry I didn't manage to get everyone in the pic

A wee 🥂 to all the busy, tired humans out there…

Today, I swapped the workout for a wine...would the workout have made me feel amazing? Yup 😅. But I’m also pretty happy with how this glass of bubbles is landing.

Sometimes self-care isn’t about doing the “perfect” thing… it’s about making a choice that feels right for you in that moment.

And tonight? Bubbles won 🍾.

Out exercising with my most loyal training partner… my shadow ☀️
And in true Pilates style - a reminder to stretch 🦵🦵
Strong bodies move better when they’re mobile too 🌿

Now, THIS is why I LOVE my job - got this feedback in my inbox this morning ❤️
“Woke up this morning feeling great, and just wanted to say that I’m not sure if you know how important Pilates is to my life. Your class sets me right every week, if I’m feeling stiff and sore I am always so much better the next day. I’m honestly not sure I could stay in the job I love so much without it so, thank you! Thank you for the awesome programmes, and the carefully considered progressions. You do great work, and genuinely have a positive impact on our lives!”

Reminder: don’t skip your stretches… even if you’re in the middle of the road 😂🚧…apparently the grass was too wet 😉
Sneaky snap of my other half after we had a quicker than usual run around Lake Ngaroto - thinking the duck shooters made us run faster!
Flexibility = important
Timing = also important
Stay safe & stay loose
