With a love for movement and holistic wellbeing, Juliette embarked on her journey to become a certified Pilates instructor in late 2024 after experiencing the transformative power of a single Pilates lesson.

Once a dedicated runner and gym goer, she found herself utterly captivated by the practice, walking away with a new sense of balance, alignment, and a deeper understanding of her body.
Determined to share this empowering experience with others, Juliette now dedicates herself to helping people improve their strength, flexibility, and overall health through controlled, purposeful movement - firmly believing that wellness is a lifestyle, not just a workout and something that should always bring you joy.

Outside the studio, Juliette unwinds by pampering her two senior Jack Russells, Howard and Kinky Tail, experimenting in the kitchen to create healthy, tasty meals and treats, and planning her next holiday adventure.

As she continues on this exciting journey, she looks forward to inspiring others to move with confidence and ease, no matter their age or ability.

With over 25 years of experience in Pilates, Dance and Musical Theatre, Faye is astute in understanding the athletic body. As mother of 2 and business owner; she is also equipped to understand the demands of modern life on the body, the psyche and the soul. 

Faye started practising Pilates in South Africa as a teen, when Pilates was a mythical technique exclusive to dancers. Pilates kept her injury free as a touring performing artist around the world for over a decade. It also always gave her a sense of “home” during her travels; from Hong Kong to Sweden and many cities in between. For this reason Faye believes Pilates is the gold standard for bodily maintenance.It is the “automatic update” for the body and mind.

Faye is especially passionate about Pilates for Pregnancy, Postpartum and Menopause as well as myofascial movement techniques during transitional phases of a woman’s life. She specialises in matwork and reformer which is distinguished by her Advanced Diploma of Myofascial Slings Training. 

Pelvic floor and diastasis-recti rehab are key features of her interest and training. Her boutique Pilates studio in Sydney specialised in women’s health and wellbeing. In the 7 years she occupied her studio; she developed a unique and intuitive understanding of movement patterning, injury prevention and dynamic flow. Endeavouring to always be on the front foot of movement science and health research, Faye has always got her nose in white papers, textbooks or detective novels. As a student, Faye is currently completing her Bachelor's Degree in Health Psychology. With a keen interest in what creates health and wellbeing and how we maintain it, Faye believes movement holds the key to transform simply living - to thriving. 

Faye wants you to leave the studio feeling fluffy, renewed, revitalised, and with great admiration and love for your body—even on lazy days!

After a background in classical ballet and dance, Luka discovered a deep love for Pilates upon leaving the dance world and searching for a form of movement that offered the same connection and joy. 

In 2019, Luka found Pilates and was instantly captivated by its unique blend of mind and body connection. Since then, Luka's practice has continued to evolve, becoming a space for nurturing both mental and physical well-being.

In 2024, Luka began the journey to becoming a Pilates instructor, completing Anatomy, Mat and Reformer training through Studio Pilates with a strong desire to continue growing and learning in the Pilates community.

Luka aims to bring the same sense of community experienced as a client at Fleur Wellbeing, creating a space where people can connect - just as Pilates has brought Luka together with so many wonderful individuals.

Luka loves to teach a mix of classical flows and feel-good sequences, always with the hope that clients can discover the connection to their bodies that Pilates fosters. The goal is for clients to feel the happiness and safety that Pilates consistently brings Luka, while also learning something new about their own strength and capabilities.

In her spare time, Luka can often be found reading, spending time with loved ones, going to the gym or practicing yoga and Pilates.

Amie’s love for dance began at the age of seven, and she has carried that passion for movement and performance with her throughout her life.

After the birth of her second child, Amie was determined to find a safe, supportive environment to rebuild her strength and fitness. She found just that at Fleur Wellbeing, where she started as a client and quickly became hooked on Pilates.

In January 2022, Amie took the leap and completed her Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates, and Prenatal Pilates Instructor training with Barre Body. She’s passionate about helping others discover the joy and strength that comes with movement, just as she has. Her classes are known for their energising, spicy layers and graceful flows, often drawing inspiration from her dance background. In 2024, Amie furthered her expertise by completing her Barre training, continually striving to enhance her skills and teaching approach.

When she’s not in the studio, Amie enjoys spending quality time with her fiancé and two children. She’s also a proud “plant mum” and can often be found nurturing her greenery. And, of course, she never misses an opportunity to join a Barre or Pilates class herself!

Natalie’s love for pilates really grew when she joined the Fleur community as a client in 2022. She loved the way pilates made her feel so confident in her body - So strong! So capable! Being a part of the beautiful Fleur community also made her feel so supported. This had a huge impact on her life and as a result, pilates became an almost daily ritual for her, whether it be on the reformer or on the mat. 

As time went on, Natalie noticed she was coming to classes and asking questions, noticing cues and interactions, and wanting to know more and more. So, in September 2023, Natalie’s passion and curiosity lead her to invest in Barre Body’s reformer and mat pilates instructor courses to further her own practice. 

Once word got out around the studio, this interest developed further as she realised how rewarding it would be to actually teach Pilates at Fleur Wellbeing! Natalie creates her classes to be supportive and to build client’s confidence, providing an environment that reminds them just how strong, capable and worthy they are. 

Whether it’s a gentle Flow class or a strong HIIT or Sculpt class, she hopes to welcome you to an hour of pilates that’s main focus is making you feel good!

As our youngest and first male instructor, Hayden’s excited to make an impact! Pilates found Hayden when he needed it most. He’d dedicated a great deal to his secondary education and felt lost when the biggest routine of his life disappeared. Hayden eventually found his new routine in Reformer Pilates (through long ignored advice from his chiropractor) which helped him find himself again. Full of pride and inspired by his new vocation, he graduated as a Mat and Reformer instructor from Breathe Education in 2024 and is ready to give people the gift of movement - the best gift he ever received!

The key concept Hayden wishes to promote with his teaching is to “be brave and be kind.” He believes that Pilates can be enhanced by being compassionate to one’s self and non-judgemental of one’s body… but will always endorse a client’s choice to challenge themselves! He’s found that some men have anxieties about beginning Pilates - not because it’s emasculating, but because they don’t want to appear intrusive or invasive when entering a typically feminine space. Hayden’s hope is that he can demolish this stigma and welcome more “tall blokes” like him into our studio all the while encouraging his clients to move fearlessly and joyfully.

Hayden has a background in the performing arts and an insatiable desire to learn. So, when you don’t see him, he’s probably playing Dungeons and Dragons or strategy oriented video games… a fact he is not ashamed of!
