About me

My Story

Hi, I’m Victoria — and honestly, I never thought I’d be someone who loved exercise.

I spent years dipping in and out of different types of exercise classes, never really feeling connected to any of it. Nothing stuck. It always felt like something I should do rather than something I actually enjoyed.

Eventually, I trained as a yoga teacher, and that was the first time movement started to feel good, like something that could support me, not punish me. But it wasn’t until I discovered Reformer Pilates that everything really changed.

The Reformer challenged me in a way that felt empowering, not overwhelming. It helped me find strength I didn’t know I had, not just physically, but in myself. My confidence grew. I felt more at home in my body than I ever had before. And I knew pretty quickly that this was something I wanted to share with others.

Now I teach Reformer Pilates full-time here in the Algarve, offering group classes and 1:1s and private group classes. I keep things supportive and simple, no pressure, no perfection, just helping people build strength, feel good, and reconnect with themselves through movement.

Because I’ve been the person who didn’t feel strong, who didn’t feel confident. And I know how powerful it is when that starts to shift.

My Vision

My vision is simple: To create a space where Reformer Pilates feels like home, not just a workout, but a way to reconnect with your body, build strength, and feel good in your own skin.

I want people to walk into my studio and feel seen, supported, and capable whether it's their first time on a Reformer or their hundredth. This practice changed my life, and my hope is that it gives others the same sense of confidence, energy, and ease in movement.

I don’t believe in pushing for perfection. I believe in progress, in moving with intention, and in celebrating the little wins that add up to something big.
