SABRINA’S story
Following an active childhood benefiting from long summers on the beach, Sabrina has started her first gym sessions with her father and aerobics classes with her mum in her early teens.
Sabrina enjoyed a decade-long banking career in New York and London where she balanced the long hours with daily workouts, running and yoga. Exercise has always helped her to keep her body and mind resilient, fit and strong.
During this time she was introduced to Pilates and she fell in love with it; so much that in 2011 she ended up quitting her banking career to follow her dream to become a Pilates teacher.
Sabrina trained with the renowned Body Control Pilates for her Mat and Reformer qualifications in addition to other studio and small equipment. Being able to attest to the wonders of adequate pre-natal exercise in person during her two pregnancies, Sabrina completed her pre- and post-natal qualifications to assist pregnant women in their journey.
Sabrina is also a Level 3 qualified Personal Trainer and a Barre teacher.
MOVEMENT FOR BETTER WELLBEING
Sabrina believes that movement is a key element to wellness. Wellness is a lifestyle, hence fitness goals need to be sustainable and adaptable over the long term and combined with healthy nutrition.
Sabrina is passionate about making her clients feel strong, energised, mobile and connected to their bodies. She aspires for beautiful movement and functional mobility. She firmly believes a strong core and a good posture are the precursors to a fit and injury-free body and a healthy mind.
Sabrina has been teaching mat and reformer classes in London’s leading GYMS
including private clients at ‘Workshop Gymnasium’ at the Bulgari Hotel as well as studios including Core Collective. Sabrina has since been a trainer to some celebrities and high net worth individuals assisting them with their fitness and movement. Sabrina is also the Co-Founder of URWell, a holistic, online and personalised wellness platform.
Sabrina brings her experience over the years from workouts with well-known trainers in upscale gyms in New York and London. She continues to learn constantly through workshops and further qualifications to be able to offer her clients the best possible service. Sabrina has been lucky enough to join workshops with multiple well-known Pilates figures including Mary Bowen, one of the two surviving ‘Pilates Elders’, and Kathy Corey who has been trained by ‘Pilates Elders’.
