From Practice to Passion: My Pilates Story

Based in Westport, I teach Reformer and Mat Pilates classes, as well as private sessions using the full range of Pilates equipment — including the Reformer, Cadillac, and other apparatus. I work with all kinds of clients, from office workers to recreational athletes. I always tailor the work to meet individual needs and goals. Before Pilates became my primary focus, I spent a decade managing fitness facilities, where I developed a strong business acumen alongside a deep understanding of client care and operational strategy. That experience shapes how I teach today — with a clear, structured, and progressive approach that meets you exactly where you are and helps you move forward with confidence.

I am a Balanced Body Comprehensive Pilates Instructor, Certified Personal Trainer / Movement Coach with over 2,000 hours of study and 10,000+ teaching hours.

Hi, I’m Alice, the founder of Unified Pilates. With a passion for movement and a deep understanding of how Pilates transforms both the body and mind, I created this platform to make Pilates accessible, effective, and tailored to your needs. I live in Westport, Co Mayo, Ireland with my husband and daughter, where I balance family life with my passion for helping others move better, feel stronger, and build resilience through Pilates.

My professional journey into fitness began over 20 years ago, and in 2006, after discovering the transformative benefits of Pilates, I started training towards my first Pilates Qualification. It wasn’t just the physical benefits that caught my attention, but particularly how Pilates helped to calm and focus the mind, relieving stress and anxiety. That aspect was what got me hooked. As a young fitness instructor, I was drawn to how the precise movements made Pilates so competitive in a way; I wanted to master them all. This balance of mental clarity and physical challenge became my driving force in the fitness world.

My teaching style blends the precision and flow of Classical Pilates with the adaptability of Contemporary Pilates.

Having come from the fitness world, with a background in modern movement science, anatomy, biomechanics, and functional exercise, I focus on movement that is both effective and safe. I chose to complete my comprehensive teacher training with Balanced Body in London, because of its strong foundation in both classical and contemporary Pilates, allowing me to teach with a well-rounded and adaptable approach.

While I honor the traditional Pilates method, I tailor sessions to meet individual needs, because not every body moves the same way. Whether you are looking for structure, flexibility, or strength, I'll guide you through a practice that works for you. Curious about how to find the right Pilates instructor for you?

Whether you're looking to enhance athletic performance, relieve tension from desk work, or maintain mobility as you age, my goal is to guide you through Pilates programs that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
