Hello, I’m Ami. I grew up in South Africa with dreams of becoming a ballet dancer. However, after sustaining knee and ankle injuries that required rehabilitation, I was inspired to pursue a career in physiotherapy. I graduated from Stellenbosch University in 2012 and went on to work in both public and private healthcare settings—first in South Africa, and later in the United Arab Emirates.
My introduction to Pilates came during my ballet training, and I have been practicing it ever since. In 2020, while living in France and unable to continue hands-on practice, I completed my mat certification through BASI Pilates. After relocating to London the following year, I enrolled in the Polestar Rehabilitation Course and joined the team at Complete Pilates.
I’m passionate about using movement as a tool for long-term recovery. I believe that exercise plays a vital role in addressing the root causes of pain, and that addressing the body as a whole leads to better outcomes in recovery.
Outside of work, I enjoy baking sourdough bread and going to the theatre. I aspire to have a beautiful garden, so please let me know if you have any gardening tips!
