Pilates changed the way Sie-Sie moves. It helped her build strength, improve her posture and take better care of her body in everyday life. That experience inspired her to complete the Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training at Smartbody.
Sie-Sie is a comprehensively certified Pilates teacher, trained in mat, reformer, all studio equipment, and pre- and postnatal Pilates.
Her teaching is calm, precise, encouraging and full of enjoyment. She focuses on breath, anatomical awareness and mindful movement, helping participants understand their bodies and develop strength and confidence. For Sie-Sie, Pilates is about understanding how your body moves, so you can move with ease, control and purpose.
Originally from the Netherlands, Sie-Sie spent several years living in Hong Kong, Germany and Spain before returning in 2005. Movement has always been part of her life, from gymnastics and swimming to completing a quarter triathlon and taking part in open-water swimming events.
At Pilates Noord, Sie-Sie teaches mat and reformer group classes in Dutch and English.
