I absolutely loved this conversation with Hope Spencer, oncology physiotherapist and founder of the Positive Health Project, on the latest episode of Art of Pilates.

One of the things that really stood out to me was Hope’s approach to exercise during and after cancer treatment.

It’s not about telling someone “you should be doing X, Y and Z.”

It’s about finding movement that works for that person — something they enjoy, something that feels achievable, and something they can continue doing.

And as Hope says, sometimes the goal is simply to find something you “at least don’t hate!” ❤️

We also dive into some really important conversations around:

✨ Cancer rehabilitation before, during and after treatment
✨ Why exercise is now considered such an important part of cancer care
✨ Lymphedema and exercise
✨ Rebuilding strength, energy and confidence
✨ How Pilates and the Reformer can support people during recovery
✨ Bone health following cancer treatment
✨ How Pilates instructors can confidently work with clients who have cancer
✨ The importance of creating a supportive environment
✨ Busting some common myths around cancer, exercise and lymphedema

What I loved most was Hope’s focus on confidence and hope — helping people feel that there are still things they can do for themselves, even when so much of their health journey can feel completely out of their control.

LET’S GET MOVING! 💪🦴

I’m excited to be taking part in Million Moves with AUSactive, running from 1–21 September 2026—and this year, my mum will be joining me! ❤️

The message behind Million Moves is one I think is incredibly important for all of us working in movement and exercise:

75% of Australians aren’t moving enough.

That’s our parents.
Our friends.
Our kids.
Our clients.
Our communities.

Million Moves isn’t just an exercise challenge—it’s a movement to change that.

As Pilates teachers, we have such an important role to play in helping people move more, build strength, improve balance and maintain their independence as they age.

And for me, Million Moves is also a wonderful opportunity to focus on bone health—including safe, appropriate exercise for people living with osteoporosis and osteopenia, as well as exercises that help build and maintain bone strength.

So this September, I’ll be moving with my mum, focusing on safe movement, strength, balance and bone health.

Because getting older shouldn't mean moving less.

Let’s get moving! 🚶‍♀️💪🦴

UNBREAKABLE! 💪🦴

I’ve recently started reading Unbreakable: A Woman’s Guide to Ageing with Power by Dr Vonda Wright, and I’m really enjoying it.

It’s motivating, practical and inspiring—particularly the idea that ageing doesn’t have to mean becoming less capable, less strong or less active.
It has certainly given me plenty to think about when it comes to strength, ageing, exercise and bone health.

I’ll be exploring some of Dr Wright’s concepts during my Pilates for Osteoporosis & Osteopenia annual tutorial on Sunday, 20 September, and looking at how some of these ideas can influence the way we approach exercise and bone health as we age.

If you’re a Pilates teacher working with clients with osteoporosis or osteopenia, this is such an important area to understand.

🦴 Pilates for Osteoporosis & Osteopenia – Online Course

My specialised course equips Pilates teachers with the knowledge and practical skills to confidently work with clients who have osteoporosis or osteopenia.

You’ll learn how to:
✔️ Apply evidence-based principles to your Pilates teaching
✔️ Use exercises that support bone strength
✔️ Improve posture and balance
✔️ Help reduce falls risk
✔️ Adapt exercises for different abilities and presentations
✔️ Develop confidence in working safely with clients with low bone density

Plus, the course includes an annual one-day tutorial, giving you the opportunity to revisit the material, learn new content and connect with other teachers.

📅 Next tutorial: Sunday, 20 September 2026

⏰ 10am–5pm

💻 Available as part of the online course

🎉 25% OFF with code BUILDBONE25

👉 If you’re ready to build your knowledge and confidence in teaching Pilates for bone health, book into the course and join me on 20 September.

Let’s help our clients stay strong, active and unbreakable as they age. 🦴💪

SHARE ACCOMMODATION

Are you heading to the APEI Classical Pilates Conference?

I’m excited to be heading to the APEI Classical Pilates Conference and wanted to put the call out to my Pilates community!

Is anyone else planning to attend and looking to share accommodation?

I’d love to connect with other Pilates teachers who might be interested in sharing accommodation and splitting the cost. The Meriton Suites is $1044 for three nights for a 2 bedroom suite. (one bedroom suite is $694) so if we split the cost for two bedrooms we will save $172!
The Meriton suites is a short walk to the Danks St Studio.

If you’re going and want to share, please DM me!

It would be lovely to connect with some of you at the conference!

We need to be kinder to postnatal women.

Why are we so quick to look at a woman’s body after having a baby and ask, “How do we fix this?”

A tummy, a “pooch”, changes in abdominal shape, a diastasis… these are not failures. They are part of the incredible physical changes that can happen during pregnancy and birth.

As Pilates instructors, our role isn’t to make women feel like their bodies need fixing.

It’s to listen.
It’s to understand.
It’s to support.
And to help women reconnect with their bodies with confidence and without shame. ❤️

Part Two of Art of Pilates with Peta Titter is live now!

13/08/2026

On this episode of Art of Pilates with guest Peta Titter, we talk about the enormous pressure placed on women after having a baby.

From “getting your body back” to losing the baby weight, flattening the tummy and returning to exercise as quickly as possible — postnatal women are often given a long list of things they are expected to achieve.

But do they really need more pressure?

What if we shifted the conversation from “How quickly can we get your body back?” to “What does your body need right now?”

Pregnancy, birth and early motherhood are huge physical and emotional experiences. Recovery isn't a race, and every woman’s journey is different.

As Pilates instructors, we have an opportunity to support women rather than add to the pressure.

❤️ Less pressure.
❤️ More understanding.
❤️ More compassion.
