ACCREDITED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST
Leah Jenkins
Leah is an accredited Exercise Physiologist with a Bachelor's degree from the Queensland university of Technology.
Her passion for Women's Health began during her travels in London, where she worked with a Women's Health physiotherapist who had a passion for pre- and post-natal pilates. This experience allowed her to meet a lot of interesting women, truly learning about the beauties of female anatomy and the importance of exercise treatment throughout a woman's life.
Throughout Leah’s studies she took particular interest in women's health anatomy and conditions. She noticed first hand the limited knowledge there is about women's health within the population and industry. Leah’s goal is to provide education and increase knowledge around the importance of looking after our health as women especially during times of major change from adolescents to pregnancy and menopause. She thoroughly enjoys reformer Pilates and finds it a wonderful form of exercise to teach and participate in.
It is Leah’s priority to continue to develop her knowledge in the women's health space and to make physical health and wellbeing a priority in a woman's life.

Mikaela Corrigan
Mikaela is an accredited Exercise Physiologist having completed my Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology through Charles Sturt University, and has her certification in Advanced Clinical Pilates.
Her Pilates journey began when she was younger, first being introduced to this mode of exercise when she did ballet; she fell in love with Reformer Pilates. The reformer is such a versatile piece of equipment and Mikaela herself got to experience firsthand the benefits you can gain from Reformer Pilates.
Over the course of the past few years, she has been surrounded by an increasing number females who have each been dealing with their own health conditions. Each have had their own struggles with trying to access services and education surrounding their conditions.
It is from this experience that she has developed a passion and keen interest in women’s health and supporting women through various conditions as well as the incredible journey through pre/post-natal.
Mikaela is committed helping women through movement and continuing to expand her knowledge and expiertise in this space.
ACCREDITED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST
Helena Doran
Helena is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and has her certification in Advanced Clinical Pilates.
Throughout my masters I gained experience in a number of areas that became areas of interest for me; oncology care, women’s health, paediatrics, chronic pain and intellectual disabilities. I believe exercise is the best medicine and strive to educate and assist people to be able to live life to the best of their ability.
However my passion for women’s health began when being surrounded by women of different stages of life when working as an undergraduate at ProHealth EP. This lead me to gain my Level 1-3 Equipment Pilates Course and begin teaching Reformer Pilates. I now have several years experience of 1:1 and group classes, and love attention to detail to promote purposeful and safe technique.
Having spent my life surrounded by a mostly female dominant family, completing 15 years of classical ballet training, competitive dance and sport throughout school, and as a strength and conditioning coach for a 1st Grade Women’s Rugby Union team, these opportunities exposed me to the incredible processes the female body goes through across the lifetime. It opened my eyes to how many women are impacted by chronic illnesses and associated long term effects, and the lack of knowledge and options available.
I strive to use exercise and Reformer Pilates as a way to educate women on their body, manage symptoms, and build confidence and strength to be able to tackle everyday life.
PILATES INSTRUCTOR
Laura Murphy
Laura is a passionate Pilates instructor with a lifelong love for movement and physical activity. From an early age, she participated in a wide range of sports, including netball, gymnastics, athletics, and AFL; if there was an activity to try, she’d be enrolled. She discovered Pilates during high school and was immediately captivated by its focus on controlled, low-impact movement, whilst prioritising mobility and alignment. What began as a personal interest quickly turned into a professional passion.

Her teaching style is grounded in dynamic movement, focusing on flow, alignment, and gradual progression.

PILATES INSTRUCTOR
Sharn Ristovski
I’ve been teaching for over 10 years, bringing both experience and compassion to every class I lead. Before transitioning into movement full-time, I worked assessing disability claims and cared for my late husband, a military veteran — experiences that shaped my belief that exercise should be supportive, empowering, and accessible at every stage of life.
Movement has always been part of who I am. As a former gymnast and athletics competitor, and through playing touch football, I developed a strong foundation in discipline and body awareness. I now train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which continues to deepen my understanding of functional strength, mobility, and resilience.
I’m a qualified Reformer and Matwork Pilates instructor and yoga teacher, blending strength, mobility, and mindful breath into sessions that are both effective and intentional. I teach dynamic, strength-focused classes alongside slower, considered sessions designed to support our older community and anyone who benefits from a steadier pace.
My approach is warm, inclusive, and detail-focused with plenty of laughs. I specialise in mental health–aware classes that feel inviting and supportive, while still offering thoughtful challenge — helping you feel steady, strong, and confident in your body.

Melissa Sheppard
After becoming a mum, I was looking for a way to reconnect with my body, something that would help me feel strong, capable, and grounded again. That’s when I discovered Reformer Pilates, and it quickly became more than just a workout. It was a reset. A way to rebuild not only physical strength, but also confidence and mental clarity. That personal experience sparked a deep passion, and I went on to become a certified instructor in both Reformer and Mat Pilates.
Teaching now feels like such a privilege, being able to support others on their own journeys. My classes are designed to be welcoming, challenging, and empowering. I focus on safe, intentional movement that helps build functional strength and mind-body awareness, with plenty of encouragement along the way.
Whether you’re new to Pilates or a seasoned mover, my goal is to help you leave each class feeling better than when you arrived. In my personal time I enjoy being with my family and getting outdoors whenever I can.
