Hi! My name is Brodie and I founded Recalibrate Pilates here in Ourimbah (with a massive help from my partner Nick, bringing it to life and fixing all the things!). I am also a mum to 3 crazy children who keep me on my toes (and provide me with lots of stories to share each week!). I love all things movement, languages (and talking!!), craft (especially fabric!) and travelling (although that doesn't happen nearly enough!) - and it appears exclamation marks! Lol.

​

Prior to Pilates and health studies, I studied languages, completed exchanges overseas, studied and taught English as a second language and worked in student support at Newcastle Uni and in disability support through Job centre.

​

In terms of my own personal Pilates journey, I discovered the Pilates method following a traumatic car accident in 2009. It has helped me move again and significantly reduce my overall disability and pain levels. While I was rehabbing from my accident (including learning to walk again) and saw many people struggling, I became inspired to help others regain their quality of life.

​

In regards to fitness and health studies, I have an Adv Dip of Nutrition, Cert IV in fitness, Pre/Postnatal qualifications from Preggibellies, Cert IV and Diploma in Clinical Pilates, Diploma in Pilates instruction, and currently studying a bridging course in Classical Pilates instruction through APEI, Yoga and very slowly a degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology. (Because why not do all the things at the SAME time!) 

​

I have been teaching solely Pilates since early 2017 and am loving this journey and the little community we are creating here at Recalibrate!

If you haven't given Pilates a go yet, come try it out. I look forward to seeing you in the studio.

​

In my classes, I like teaching mainly traditional Pilates exercises with a focus on repetition, mobility and functionality. I am currently on the timetable at Ourimbah Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays and Sundays! Come say hi!

"Pilates has been part of my life in some way or another since I was 17, where it was built into my rehabilitation following a knee reconstruction. After living with chronic knee pain for too many years, I decided to get back to the things that originally helped, Pilates, and I’ve never looked back. In 2024 I made the decision to make my passion for Pilates a full-time thing and have loved every day of it. Pilates changed my relationship with my mind and body and I love helping others find that as well. I believe intentional movements that challenges the body whilst leaving the client feeling strong and confident!"
