Testimonials

"Juliana skilfully builds on her physiotherapist background and her thorough knowledge of movement to deliver classes that are very dynamic, effective, and fun! Her positivity and warmth are other attributes that make her stand apart!"

Nicholas Roost, Osteopath, Melbourne

"Juliana provides skilled and professional instruction in the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Methods. Her service is provided with warmth and care, and as a client, you feel safe and supported at all times. Highly recommended!"

Lucy Barton, Melbourne

"As an IT professional who spends her week glued to a screen with mouse in hand, I view my weekly sessions with Juliana over the last two years as essential. Our weekly sessions have ensured my core strength has improved and that my historic back injuries do not reoccur. Juliana's comprehensive knowledge of both Pilates and physiotherapy have been invaluable in dealing with my physical limitations due to old injuries"

Judy Thompson, Melbourne

"Melbourne's loss is Sydney's gain! I used to be a real Pilates-sceptic, but after only a few classes with Juliana I saw the light and after 2 years I'm still going. There was some really hard work in the studio, but Juliana’s is friendly and encouraging approach made every class something to look forward to. As someone who works in I.T. sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day, my posture and complete lack of core muscles made me very susceptible to back injuries, strains and pains. Juliana's careful and patient instruction has dramatically improved my fitness, flexibility, posture and co-ordination and I recommend her classes to everyone."

Gavin Palmer, Melbourne

"I could not only feel but visibly see the difference in my body after only a few session with Juliana. Using a combination of Pilates, Gyrotonic and Garuda methods, I really enjoyed seeing the results through the benefits of the combined methods tailor-made for what I wanted to achieve. Juliana knew exactly how to get the most out of me, and I always came away from the sessions revitalized and with pointers that I could continue working on at home. I highly recommend working with Juliana with her sunny and kind nature, to get great results for your mind, body and spirit"

Rina Sawaya, Professional Tango Dancer, Melbourne

“Regardless of the method you choose to do, either Pilates or GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®, it is always about placement before movement. This is the key. As a physiotherapist who analyses movement daily, I can attest that focusing on proper alignment and activating the deep stabilising muscles before moving is essential for building a strong foundation, improving functional movement patterns, and preventing injury”
