Born in South Africa and raised in a family where dancing was practically a second language, Celeste was on stage by the age of three. From ballet buns to jazz hands (and a whole lot of acrobatics in between), she spent her competitive years flipping, stretching, and winning her way through championships—earning South African colours and her teaching diploma in Acrobatic dance along the way.

In 2007, she swapped leotards for laptops and launched her own marketing & events company, keeping dance as her side-kick hobby while adjudicating and teaching part-time. Somewhere between pirouettes and deadlines with what started as a mission to strengthen elite dancers, soon spiraled into a passion for helping women (and men!) through Pilates.

These days, Celeste channels all that energy into teaching Pilates, blending strength with sass, and discipline with a healthy dose of laughter.
