She is a passionate Pilates instructor, dedicated to helping people achieve their personal goals and develop body and mind awareness.

She was an elite-level basketball player and the captain of her team. After her athletic career ended, she worked as a physical education teacher at a high school in Japan. She then spent two years in Africa, working as a lecturer at a local teacher training college and supporting the community with exercise and health programs. Additionally, she has run sports classes for children and provided exercise instruction for adults in various Asian countries. After moving to Australia, she enjoyed attending Pilates classes and eventually completed her Pilates instructor training in Australia.

She first discovered Pilates after experiencing lower back pain. She tried various treatments, including osteopathy, massage, and chiropractic care, but saw no significant improvement. At the recommendation of a friend, she started taking Pilates classes, and her lower back pain improved. Impressed by the rapid and successful recovery, she decided to deepen her knowledge of Pilates and transition into teaching.

【Career】

I played handball for 10 years and experienced multiple injuries, undergoing two surgeries. During this time, I was diagnosed with congenital acetabular dysplasia.

Wanting to strengthen my body after these injuries, I started practicing yoga and Pilates. This journey inspired me to help others facing similar challenges.

For seven years in Japan, I worked as an instructor, offering group classes, personal training, and event lessons.

Currently, while providing online lessons to my Japanese clients, I am studying for a nationally recognized Pilates qualification in Australia.

”Let’s practice Pilates together, focusing on your individual concerns and working towards improvement!”

Just 2 weeks after she started Pilates, she noticed significant change on her body, and she received compliments on her body areas that were where she had once considered as her weak points, then, she began to think that it would be amazing to share this wonderful experience with others.

After she came back to Japan, she worked at a Pilates studio, pursuing a certification, in which she realized that Pilates is effective in the improvement of sports and rehabilitation as well.

She could share the incredible benefits of Pilates with people at the Pilates studio in Japan; however, she still wanted to experience the Pilates she had in Australia so, she decided to return Australia.
