Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’m a BASI-certified Pilates instructor, excited to be joining you at Natuurlijk Pilates. I first turned to Pilates while recovering from a back injury and quickly discovered how deeply supportive the practice could be, both physically and mentally.
Before teaching Pilates, I spent the first part of my career as a human rights lawyer. Through long hours at a desk and emotionally demanding environments, Pilates was the steady practice that kept me grounded and connected to my body. It helped me build strength, improve alignment, and feel graceful and resilient.
After 15 years of dedicated practice, Pilates has become more than a behind-the-scenes passion, and I’m excited to share it with others.
For me, the most effective classes work the body deeply while still feeling enjoyable, combining precision with varied, flowing movement.
