“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.”
Tommy, USA.
“Cath has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She encouraged me to be stronger and believe in myself. After a class at Flow pilates I left walking taller and feeling amazing.”
Margaret, Ireland.
“I needed to ask an old lady to give up her seat on the 260 bus because I simply couldn’t stand the pain of standing for a second longer. That’s when I decided enough was enough - I needed help!!! Two pregnancies and lugging kids up and down HK’s mountainous streets had broken me. I felt like I had zero core muscle strength. I was constantly in pain. I’d suddenly start to wobble when walking for too long. I couldn’t even sit up and get out of bed in the morning, I needed to curl diagonally otherwise my tummy would pop out like a stegosaurus’ back. I missed being able to sit through an entire meal or movie. I wanted my life back, free of pain.
Within a few months work with Cath, my life has transformed. She completely resealed my three finger canyon of a tummy. I don’t get back ache standing up in the bus. I can drink coffee or eat a huge meal without it looking like I’m five months pregnant. Instead, I can wear my bikini that’s been shunned to the back of the drawer. I am now able to enjoy my main hobby of sailing. I can sit on the floor with the kids playing Lego for hours. Plus, I can wear that tight, black dress on an evening out. I think I might even have a six pack by the end of the year!!! Thank you Cath for your support, professionalism, and friendship. Highly recommended!!

“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.”
Beryl, France.
“I am incredibly grateful for the time I spent doing regular Pilates and Gyrotonic sessions with Cath.
Cath has an exceptional ability to observe bodies in motion and give precise, targeted instructions that create alignment and awareness.
She is also extremely knowledgable and is an incredible teacher.”
I will always be grateful for everything that Cath taught me and for her help in transforming my body into a lean, strong, pain free body.”
Amanda, Australia.
“It’s with my great pleasure to share my experience with you regarding my Pilate instructor Catherine.
When I first visited The Flow studio about two years ago I had had over 10 years of tennis elbow problem and visited numerous physiotherapists and personal trainers with no good outcome. I played tennis, my beloved sport, with pain killers and braces. Cath checked me just like a professional physio would do. Her calming smile and talk made me feel I found a person who understood my problem and was willing to help.
Since then I became regular visitor to the Flow. Every time she has unique program for me, helping me to understand my body parts, use core muscles, justify my movements in playing tennis. Her way of caring with professional knowledge greatly improved my condition gradually, now I can play 4-5 times a week without pain. She had done a lot of preparation every week to give me the program I could benefit the most and she always patiently listened to my weekly chat about how I played tennis and tried to figure out most beneficial exercises to help me to improve.
I believe everyone of her clients had and will benefit from her hard working attitude and professional knowledge. She will be greatly missed here in HK. I hope my experience will help you to learn about Catherine, my best instructor and friend.”
Haiyan, Hong Kong.
“I went through two operations for my feet and back over the last four years. I used Flow’s, more specifically, Cath’s, services to rehabilitate. I saw Cath 2-3 times a week during my rehabilitation period and afterwards 1-2 times per week for maintenance. Each time I came in, I felt like I was her only client. The amount of research and thought that went into each one of my sessions was nothing I had ever experienced with any other rehab therapist (I have had many injuries due to all the sports I play).
I now play tennis better than I have in years! I owe my new found agility and speed to Cath! The surgeries were the first stage in my success but had I not rehabbed correctly, I would not have been able to play tennis again and certainly not been able to play 5-6 times per week pain free. I feel like a 20 year old again on the court!!! My life has been forever impacted by Cath. I have always, and will always recommend Cath’s services.”
Heidi, USA.
“I took Pilates private lessons from Cath for over 3 years. I always found it hard to exercise. I felt my strength was weak and I wasn’t very motivated. From the moment I met Cath, she made me feel comfortable about exercising and doing Pilates. She understood my body and had a passion to help me. She was caring and pushed me just enough for me to achieve my goals and I started to enjoy going for lessons.
I am still missing my lessons with Cath but am grateful for the time that we had and how she motivated me.”
Sim, Hong Kong.
“I discovered pilates with Cath and I truly enjoyed it. Cath is a fantastic teacher, she customised each practice to answer my particular needs. The atmosphere in her studio is very serene. I warmly recommend her as a teacher and a person!'“
