My Health Garden

Who am I ?

Hello, I'm Chiara! I am Italian, born and raised in Belgium, and I've been living in the Netherlands for almost 30 years. People often describe me as an enthusiastic and lively person, full of humor and with a positive outlook on life.

My adventure in the working world began at the age of 21, driven by my curiosity about other cultures and languages. During this journey of discovery, I was able to develop professionally, but sometimes this came at the expense of my health. After a few "wake-up calls," I decided it was time for a change. I quit smoking, reduced my coffee intake, and signed up for a gym.

The positive impact these changes had on my life inspired me to make a career switch. I completed a training course to become a Health Coach and a Classical Pilates instructor. Now I can share my passion for health and well-being with others.

With My Health Garden, my greatest wish is to guide as many people as possible on their journey towards a healthier, more vibrant, and happier life. Together, we will embark on this journey!

What does a Classical Pilates Instructor do?

As a Classical Pilates instructor, I specialize in teaching the traditional Pilates method developed by Joseph Pilates. This method focuses on strengthening the core muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting overall body posture.

What does it involve?

A Classical Pilates instructor:

  • Guides and inspires: I help my students better understand and feel their bodies, encouraging them to explore their limits.
  • Develops personalized workouts: Every body is unique. Therefore, I create classes tailored to the specific needs and goals of each participant.
  • Creates a safe environment: Safety and well-being are paramount. I ensure that exercises are performed correctly to prevent injuries.
  • Focuses on technique and breathing: Correct execution of exercises and the application of breathing techniques are crucial for effective training.

Benefits of Pilates

Pilates offers numerous advantages, including:

  • Strengthening of core muscles: A strong core is essential for good posture and can help prevent back problems.
  • Improved flexibility: Regular Pilates training helps make muscles and joints more elastic.
  • Better posture: Through awareness of posture and body alignment, participants learn to improve their posture both during training and in everyday life.
  • Stress reduction: Pilates promotes relaxation and mindfulness, which can contribute to stress relief.
  • Accessible to everyone: Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, Pilates can easily be adapted to any level and physical condition.

With my passion for Pilates and well-being, I aim to guide you on your journey towards a healthier body and a happier life. Together, we will discover the power of Pilates!
