Welcome to Episode 14 of the podcast. This one is a real goodie. I was so blessed to chat with Holly Gibellini-Davis; Pilates, Barre and Movement Teacher & Co-Founder of FOMME (Future of Modern Movement Education) and Founder of Body Holiday, two very incredible visions that I am soo excited for you to hear about today.

With over 10 years of teaching experience across Reformer, Mat and Barre, Teacher Trainings and Studio Consultancy (as well as a background in dance), Holly is a leader in the group fitness industry. She has a wealth of knowledge, experience and understanding of movement and still teaches in multiple top studios across Sydney.

Holly is driven by her passion and deep belief in the joy of challenging movement that is accessible to everyone. She aims to create experiences that elevate and connect her clients beyond their expectations.

I know that this Episode will support so many of you. This one is great for Pilates teachers and anyone who has a desire to learn more about movement and pilates and hear Holly's incredible journey and vision.

We are so lucky to have Hols share her knowledge with us. She vulnerably shares parts of her journey with mental health, body image and things you may not know and it was so beautiful to have this conversation with her. Hols is a ray of light and I loved our chat so so much.
