Monica was introduced to Pilates in the late 90s and found it invaluable for supporting her professional dance practice and managing injuries. After working in the dance and arts management sectors, she became a certified Pilates Foundation teacher under Anne-Marie Zulkahari in 2009 and has been teaching both mat and equipment-based Pilates ever since.

In 2012, Monica completed a postgraduate specialisation in Pregnancy and Postnatal Pilates and, in 2017, she further broadened her knowledge through courses in Rhythmic Movement Training, a programme focused on movement-based Primitive Reflex Integration. Monica continues to be captivated by the body and its connection to the mind and she believes that movement is not only essential for a healthy, fulfilling life but also deeply enriching.
