Agility Balance Mobility
About Cath
Catherine’s original training for The GYROTONIC® Method was in Hong Kong with Master Trainer Dawnna Wayburne, where she experienced levels 1&2 of The GYROTONIC® Method and began her GYROKINESIS® training. Since returning to Melbourne Catherine has furthered her education in this field adding qualifications in specialised equipment (Jumping Stretching Board, Gyrotoner) as well as The GYROTONIC® Method. She is a pre-trainer in The GYROTONIC® Method under Master Trainer Dana Rader
Originally trained as a Registered Nurse, Catherine has a special interest in how movement can improve the quality of life for clients suffering illness or injury, and owned and operated a studio in Hong Kong focusing on this, with her clients including children, dancers, swimmers, elderly clients; she also specialised in assisting clients with lower back injuries.
Catherine has been certified as a Pilates Instructor since 2007, in Mat, Reformer, Standing Pilates and Studio equipment. She is also trained in Progressing Ballet Technique.
Catherine’s belief is that clients of all ages can achieve ease of movement and better quality of life by finding their own path to agility and balance, particularly after injury. Exercises given in her classes are designed to be useful functionally in everyday life.
Some love from our clients
“Two years prior to finding Flow I had a serious lower back injury that required a two week hospital stay and relearning how to walk. I came to Flow having accepted limited mobility, daily pain and a lack of belief in my own body. Cath helped me believe that I could be strong again, and then spent the next two years finding ways (based on my own movement) to build that strength and mobility. Today, I can play tennis and ski.
Two years ago, I would have never imagined I would be able to do either. She changed my life, or more aptly gave it back to me.”

“I spent more than 3 years in Cath’s studio Flow and I must admit that all these Friday mornings were such a blessing in my week. Cath’s kindness and professionalism in her so peaceful studio brought me more than a tonic body thanks to her mat Pilates classes. She would always go the extra mile to soothe any part of your body on top of classes that would never look the same week after week. It was a great piece of my work life balance and though she relocated to Australia I am really hoping to attend some online classes to continue the peaceful / tonic / lively Pilates journey with her.”
