Testimonials


"I have been attending Hearts and Bones for two years now. I was an "off the street " customer and booked in after seeing the sign in Wellington.

The reason I wanted to try Pilates at that stage was that I had had chronic low back pain after badly damaging a low disc 20 years previously. I was managing the pain with anti-inflammatories, but was having difficulty improving my fitness as the pain would increase every time I tried to increase my activity.

I had been told that Pilates could be helpful but must admit that I was a bit sceptical in the beginning. I enjoyed my first few sessions with Tania but went home thinking I had not worked hard enough. Results of Pilates have been subtle but real and after a few months I was hooked, off anti-inflammatories, and enjoying activities such as tennis, walking and the gym.

I recommend Hearts and Bones to anyone who needs professional, high quality, Pilates delivered in a comfortable friendly environment. I have found it a pleasure going to the studio, and leave "walking on air" every time.

"Dear Tania: I wanted to write and let you know what a wonderful experience I had working with you as my first Pilates instructor.

I loved how at my most frustrated point you could so soothingly say just the right thing to keep me engaged. I felt you took the limitations I came to you with and my progress very seriously. I also admired and appreciated your professional demeanour. In ten sessions, I came away feeling like I was stronger than I had been in years. My body felt much more whole and healed.

I truly appreciated my first Pilates experience being with YOU !"
