Bio
Before becoming a Pilates instructor, Sammi worked in the information technology field. Long-term desk work had a negative impact on her health. In order to alleviate the pain caused by sub-health conditions, she tried various fitness modalities.
After her first Pilates class, she was immediately drawn to this unique training method. She continued practicing Pilates for years and found that it not only improved her physical health, but also helped her approach life with greater confidence. From there, Sammi aspired to become a Pilates instructor.
Sammi began her STOTT PILATES® training in 2018 and earned her first STOTT PILATES certification in 2019. In 2023, she obtained her Full Certification with STOTT PILATES. In 2024, she completed the Merrithew® Matwork and Reformer Instructor Trainer courses at the Merrithew Corporate Training Centre in Canada, becoming a STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainer.
In addition to Pilates, Sammi enjoys a wide range of sports, including running, swimming, and strength training, as well as outdoor activities such as skiing, diving, surfing, and hiking. She believes that exercise is a way of life, and that Pilates training is applicable to all sports, offering endless possibilities to explore a more active and fulfilling life.
