Former semi-pro tennis player, she spent all her life dancing and doing sports such as squash, weight lifting, kickboxing, rock climbing and many more.

Her clients benefit from her unique analytical and detail-oriented approach, stemming from life-long research into movement and the analytical and observational skills acquired during her 12 - year long career as an architect.

For Oa, pilates is not just about the body, but instead the connection between body - mind - emotions.
Oa's approach to bodywork is warm, sophisticated, logical and very thoughtful. She knows how to train athletes and dancers as well as rehabilitate injuries and pains - all from personal experience, as well as by working with clients.
I have been attending Oa's Pilates sessions for over 6 months now and the results are noticeable. My body is toned and I have built up strength and re-found my inner core. Oa is a great teacher and is able to guide you through each exercise safely in a calm beautiful and spacious studio. (Elizabeth)
Oa is a wonderful teacher, she is very knowledgeable and focuses on body awareness. She puts her heart and soul into her teaching. (Natalia)
Oa has worked diligently with me to increase strength and movement after a compound fracture of my proximal humerus. It's been a journey that's proved extremely rewarding as I've watched my body come back after a really tough time. I come to Oa twice a week and it's made my world a better place. Can't recommend her highly enough. (John)
