What People Are Saying

 

“I have been suffering from chronic pain for 5 years caused by sporting injuries, predominantly lower back and hip issues. I have worked with various practitioners and tried multiple techniques however I can safely say that working consistently with Raff the past 3 months has yielded the best results for me. Incredibly this has happened online with me in the UK!”

— Samuel Mulligan Burden

 

“Raff has been fantastic at highlighting discrepancies and weaknesses in my body (incredibly over zoom) and tailoring a regime suited to me. She not only carefully coaches exercises based on how your body is feeling on the day of your class, it’s her wealth of knowledge that sets her apart. I can feel the progress I am making weekly and benefits to my overall well being.”

— Camilla Besley

 

“Raffaella has a gift, not only is she highly proficient and an instinctive teacher, she’s relatable in a world where we seek truthful engagement with our wellbeing.”

— Anthony Harris

“Raff is super welcoming and understanding of all levels, I am a beginner and thoroughly enjoyed her online Dance HIIT class where I worked up a sweat! Great for weight loss or just for fun I felt amazing coming out of this session. She has such a positive and motivating presence in her classes.”

— Samantha Jensen

 

“I am very impressed with Raffaella’s knowledge of anatomy and functional movement techniques. As a dancer, she has transformed my aches and pains and has helped me gain a deeper understanding of the human body. Her cues are thorough as she directs a very mindful movement practice where my body feels challenged. She is truly an amazing instructor!”

— Tania Pirro

 

“ I cannot speak highly enough of Raff and her reformer pilates classes in Nelson which have given me a new lease on life - truly. With prior injuries and middle age muscle weakness creeping in, I can say that in just a few short months with Raff's guidance I have gained substantially more flexibility and every part of my body feels stronger! Raff is just a super all round lovely person who genuinely cares about her students. Even more than this she has a vast knowledge of how our body works, pivots her class to suit when we have sore bits (I have heaps), and makes the class appropriately challenging while at the same time relaxed and fun.”
