1:1 Movement Coaching
If you’re ready to listen more closely to your body and move with greater clarity and intention, 1:1 movement coaching offers space for real change.
Together, we refine patterns, build strength with intelligence, and create new ways of moving that feel sustainable, supportive, and deeply aligned with your life.
Why Book 1:1 Coaching?
You’re tired of trying to figure out what works for your body
If you’re done with one-size-fits-all movement, this is a space where we slow down and pay attention. Together, we identify what supports you, what builds strength without strain, and what helps you move with clarity and confidence.
You’re ready to explore new ways of moving
If you’re craving more fun and possibility in your movement practice, we’ll experiment, refine, and build skills that expand what feels available to you. Movement can include play, challenge, and discovery, without pressure or performance.
You’re navigating pain, fatigue, or other physical challenges.
You are not alone. There is a way to meet your body with care and build strength without fear or force. In our sessions, we move at a pace that respects your capacity and create steady, practical steps forward.
Benefits of Mindful Movement & Pilates
Improved Body-awareness
Over time, the skills you practice in each session deepen your understanding of how your body moves, adapts, and responds. You may notice yourself paying closer attention throughout your day, making small adjustments that support comfort, ease, and efficiency.
Increased Movement Capacity
You will explore new movement patterns while also developing greater coordination, strength, and control. As awareness grows, so does your ability to move with confidence and adaptability.
Learning to Trust Your Choices
Part of this work is learning to recognize what feels supportive for you. Rather than following rules or overriding signals, you begin to make decisions that reflect your body’s needs, energy, and goals.
Stronger and More Courageous
There is room here to explore your edges in thoughtful ways. As strength builds, so does resilience and confidence. You gain more options, more freedom, and a greater sense of what is possible for you.
My Approach & Philosophy
Movement as Self-Expression
Movement is not punishment. It is a way to express who you are and care for the body you live in.
If you’re unsure how to best support your body, you’re in the right place. Together, we explore your strengths, notice patterns that may no longer serve you, and build new ways of moving that support lasting change. My role is to offer guidance and tools so you can move with clarity, confidence, and increasing independence.
Pilates as Practice
Pilates provides a powerful foundation for building strength, awareness, and refined movement skills.
We use its principles not only on the mat, but as a way of understanding how you move through your day. Posture, breath, coordination, and resilience become part of how you live, not just how you exercise.
Breath, Awareness & Growth
Through attentive, well-paced movement, you begin to notice where ease already exists in your body and how breath supports steadiness and focus.
As awareness deepens, new options emerge. With options comes freedom, confidence, and a greater sense of what is possible.
Hi, I’m Meg, your movement teacher and somatic coach.
For over two decades, I have been studying and teaching the art of meaningful movement. I am deeply interested in how we learn, how patterns form, and how we can gently reshape them in ways that support strength, clarity, and self-trust. I believe the body holds our history. Sometimes that history shows up in tension, sometimes in posture, sometimes in the way we move or hesitate. Together, we explore what your body is communicating and build the skills and resources you need to move forward with steadiness and confidence.
Professionally, I have completed two comprehensive Pilates teacher trainings, multiple yoga teacher trainings, trauma-informed somatic studies, and coaching certifications. I have served as faculty in Pilates and yoga teacher trainings across Canada, particularly on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. I have developed and led programs in studios and healthcare settings, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in writing and anthropology. My work reflects both extensive study and lived experience.
If there is one thing my own journey has taught me, it is that the path we are on asks for curiosity, courage, and a willingness to try again. Growth is rarely linear. It requires experimentation, humility, and the honesty to meet ourselves as we are, again and again.
When we begin to approach our bodies in this way, something remarkable happens. Our strengths reveal themselves in new ways. Capacity grows. And what once felt out of reach becomes possible.

"Her thoughtful approach is grounded in years of experience”
"Meg has guided me through my Pilates journey from reluctant first-timer to confident teacher (with a broken elbow and a pregnancy in between). Her thoughtful approach is grounded in years of experience, awareness of her client's body and mood, and knowledge of so much more than just the movement. She always knows exactly what I need, and I finish sessions feeling like a better, more balanced human."

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never done pilates before, how do I start?
If you’re new to mindful movement and Pilates, beginning with a 1:1 session is a valuable investment. You’ll gain clarity about how your body moves, what supports you, and how to build strength safely and intelligently. Many people find they enter group classes feeling more confident and prepared after that foundation.
If you already have experience and feel comfortable in your body, reach out and I’ll help you choose the group class that best fits your needs.
Do I need exercise equipment?
A supportive surface to move on is essential. Pilates mats are often thicker than standard yoga mats, so you may want additional padding for comfort.
Optional tools that can enhance your experience include a long foam roller, light hand weights, a long resistance band, a loop band, a yoga bolster, and a yoga strap. None of these are required to begin.
I'm scared of getting injured or flaring up a condition
You are in the right place.
In every class, options are offered so you can choose what feels appropriate for your body. You are always encouraged to adjust, modify, or opt out of a movement entirely. The ability to say “not today” is part of building self-trust.
If you need more individualized support, a 1:1 session is the best place to start so we can move forward with care and clarity.
