Janessa.
Janessa, a former ballet dancer turned Pilates instructor, has been drawn to the stage since the age of three. With a natural gift for flexibility and a love for classical training, she honed her craft, eventually earning a Crown International Championship Award and performing internationally in the USA and Hong Kong.
Her transition to Pilates was a natural evolution, inspired by her curiosity about the practice and a desire to bring the grace and precision of her ballet training into a new realm. Along the way, Janessa was deeply influenced by the nurturing guidance of female mentors, who instilled in her a standard of care and artistry that she now brings to her teaching.
At B. Reformer Pilates, Janessa combines her classical training, an impeccable eye for aesthetics, and a commitment to creating a safe, uplifting space. Janessa is passionate about helping others move with intention and joy, and she’s excited to share that journey with every client who walks through the door.

Debbie.
Debbie is the heart of operations at B. Reformer Pilates, ensuring the studio runs smoothly while maintaining its calm and welcoming atmosphere. A former Corporate State Manager, Debbie has always embraced challenges, from setting up playgroups and serving on school committees to organising dance fundraisers for her children.
With nearly a decade as a fashion stylist, Debbie developed her keen eye for design, styling countless women from around the globe. Now, she brings that same passion to B. Reformer Pilates, working alongside her daughter Janessa to create a beautiful, boutique space for wellness.
Our approach.
A Message From Our Lead Instructor, Janessa.
"With nearly a decade of experience, my Pilates journey began as a teenager - back when Pilates wasn’t yet a household name and studios weren’t on every corner. Coming from a strong dance background, I’ve carried forward a deep understanding of movement, body awareness, and technique into my practice.
That foundation is why our studio focuses on the individual. We believe Pilates is not one-size-fits-all, and we’re committed to creating a supportive, boutique environment where you feel seen and encouraged every step of the way.
Whether you’re preparing for your first baby and not sure where to start, recovering from an injury, or simply nervous about trying something new, we’re here to meet you where you are.
Our approach is all about real people and real instructors, guiding your goals and celebrating your progress - at your pace."
