Your Body.
Your Pace.
Your Progress.
Pointe Pilates is a boutique Pilates studio offering personal instruction with care and attention to your needs and goals.
Hello! I'm Sam, the owner of Pointe Pilates.
As a qualified Ballet and Modern teacher, the name Pointe Pilates was an obvious choice. I am also a fully qualified STOTT Pilates Instructor, as well as certified in the Total Barre and ZEN•GA modalities.
What I enjoy most about teaching Pilates is seeing the transformation that happens as clients discover a deeper connection with their bodies. This mindful connection allows the body to realign, both physically and emotionally, creating strength, balance and confidence that extends beyond the studio.
Watching that journey unfold is a constant source of inspiration for me, and it motivates me to continue learning and growing as an instructor so I can provide the very best experience for every client.
Whether you're new to Pilates or looking to build on your existing practice, I'd love to welcome you to Pointe Pilates.
Let's start this journey together.

“I've taken several classes with Sam, and what stands out most is her calm confidence and attention to detail. She's technically precise and has a way of pushing you to do your best. You trust her because she clearly knows her stuff and lives it herself. Every session feels purposeful, and I always leave feeling like I've learned something, and worked harder than I thought I would.”
