About Filomena

Filomena holds an MSc and a PhD and is a certified Pilates instructor specialising in Traditional Pilates, Mat Pilates, Functional Reformer, and Wunda Chair. She is accredited by YMCA Awards and CIMSPA.

She has undertaken continuing professional development in Neurology Applied to Pilates, Knee Arthroplasty Prehabilitation and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation, Hip and Knee Strengthening, and Breathwork.

Her commitment to Pilates and holistic fitness began in 2023 after overcoming full-body hypotonia and muscle atrophy through intensive physical therapy and a rehabilitation-focused Pilates programme that she designed herself. Her independent study of biomechanics, anatomy, holistic rehabilitation, and mental rehearsal techniques ultimately inspired her to pursue formal Pilates training.

Today, Filomena's practice focuses on helping clients reconnect with their bodies, improve mobility, develop postural strength, and build long-term physical resilience. Her approach integrates traditional and contemporary Pilates with functional movement, endurance training, and evidence-based techniques such as breathwork and active visualisation. Through this combination, she supports lasting transformation, nervous system regulation, and confident, sustainable movement.

The Mantra:
The way we train our bodies shapes the way we train our minds.
