Sydney is a highly experienced and dedicated instructor, deeply attuned to the nuances of physical pain and trauma, and dedicated to helping individuals achieve their fitness goals. Her Pilates journey began in the early 2000s, sparked by her recovery from radiation therapy.

She trained under master instructor Jaqueline Martin, a protégé of Jay Grimes, who learned directly from Joseph Pilates himself. This comprehensive training is a testament to Sydney's unwavering commitment to excellence and her passion for delivering the best possible experience to her clients. Currently, she serves as an assistant educator for Balanced Body® Pilates training programs in Victoria, BC, further solidifying her influence in the Pilates community.
