Gemma

Gemma brings creativity, energy, and a deep appreciation for mindful movement to every Reformer Pilates class she teaches. With a background in dance choreography and fire performance, she discovered her love of Pilates and yoga while living in Canada, inspired by the landscapes and cultures she encountered there. What began as a way to stay balanced during her time as a tattoo artist, soon grew into a lifelong passion for movement, strength, and connection.

Trained in Reformer Pilates under Naomi di Fabio and completing her Level 3 YMCA Matwork qualification, Gemma creates inclusive classes that welcome all bodies and abilities. Her sessions are designed to build confidence, strength, and flow, with layered challenges that meet each client where they are. Known for her calm, encouraging teaching style, she helps clients feel at ease while achieving a real sense of progress and empowerment.

Gemma’s love of movement extends well beyond the studio. She’s often outdoors hiking with her dog, Aspen, foraging for wild medicine, or diving into adventurous pursuits like motorcycle riding, horse archery, and medieval-style events. Passionate about lifelong learning, she’s continuously expanding her knowledge of anatomy, nutrition, and healthy ageing, and is excited to share her journey with the supportive, like-minded community at Elevate.
