In 2010 I was suffering with two bulging discs. I was in constant pain, unable to sleep or play any sport and was struggling. I had seen every ‘back specialist’ under the sun; orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths. I was very close to heading down the path of surgery and a back fusion. In desperation I went to see a neurosurgeon who recommended Pilates. After a few false starts I found Celeste.
What Celeste did for me over the next 12 months was truly remarkable. I went from being unable to function, to better than I was before I had the disc issues. After being told it was unlikely I would run, play tennis or golf again to being to do all of this and more. It was hard work and required discipline but the results were impossible to deny. I coupled Pilates twice a week with gym, swimming and running. After a couple of years I was fitter and stronger than I had ever been.
Eight years later Pilates with Celeste is still a very important part of my fitness regimen. Celeste continues to build my core strength, balance and flexibility. She has also helped me through a myriad of ‘niggling’ injuries sustained through the sports I play.
I could not recommend Celeste and Soul Pilates highly enough. Working with Celeste literally changed my life.

Long term client with much gratitude to Celeste and her team
I have been a Pilates-devotee for many years. I learned more from Celeste and her team in one week than I had in 10 years at another studio, and continue to learn with each visit. Each session is individually tailored to my specific needs – and each session is stimulating and rewarding.
I just love Soul Pilates!
