I am Faith, a certified STOTT PILATES® instructor (Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels), and The Center for Women’s Fitness’ specialist in Pre-/Post-Natal Pilates, Diastasis Recti Recovery, and Pilates for Menopause.

 

My interest in women's fitness was inspired by the amazing women I met during my past stint as a corporate junkie. My boss has 5 kids, and kept running during and after her pregnancies. It was contrary to what I knew growing up, where women were relatively sedentary throughout their pregnancies and resigned to their post-partum body conditions such as incontinence and weak abdominal muscles. If I had the privilege to become a mum, I wanted to be a fit and active one.  

​

When I eventually became pregnant, Pilates helped manage associated aches and pains and maintained appropriate abdominal muscle strength. In my 39th week of pregnancy, my midwife commented that I had good abdominal muscle tone! Due to knowledge of proper biomechanics and movement principles, I did not suffer from diastasis recti, and maintained relatively good pelvic floor condition. Pilates also helped in my C-section rehabilitation, from which I gradually regained strength in my core and pelvic floor.  The mind-body connection from practising Pilates also centred me in an otherwise chaotic and challenging phase as a new mother.

​

I have therefore made it my mission to help women reap the benefits of Pilates as they navigate various life stages with strength and grace.
