Lauren Harper

After working in the IT industry for 16 years, I decided to leave and follow my passion for health and fitness. So in 2003 I became a qualified personal trainer and I have never looked back. Soon after I was lucky enough to be introduced to Pilates which I knew nothing about at the time. This training gave me an edge to not only deliver quality personal training, but the skills to work with people who are in pain, injured and have special conditions.

It has been my passion to help change people’s lives by helping them overcome pain, get fitter and stronger and build self esteem. I love my work, especially when a client puts their complete trust in my training and experience.

In my spare time I love to exercise and de-stress down on Boambee Beach with my 3 border collies – Angel, Charlie and Loui. I’m sure most of you have seen us down there!

Louise Ingram

I have recently moved to Coffs Harbour to be closer with my family who all live here now.  I am originally from Sydney but have spent the past 12 years living in Whistler Canada, North America’s number one ski resort.  I lived a very active lifestyle there and had a dog grooming business.  Because I was self employed I could not afford to hurt myself and wanted to protect my back from injury and had heard Pilates was the best preventative.

I did my first Pilates Reformer class in 2011 and was instantly hooked.  I was lucky enough to find a Classical Pilates Studio in my home town in Canada and I have continued doing 2 – 3 reformer sessions per week ever since.  My posture and core strength have improved significantly over these years, and in turn I no longer suffer from any back pain and am stronger from the inside out.

In 2014 I started my Classical Pilates Teacher Training in Canada with Louise Tomcheck, who is a 2nd Generation Pilates Instructor.  I feel blessed to have been introduced to this method of body conditioning by a passionate and knowledgeable teacher.  I continued my training with my mentor in Sydney Olga Tamara, Principal Teacher Trainer at Authentic Pilates Education Australia and am very excited to be part of the team at Coastal Pilates & Fitness, under the Mentorship of Lauren, gaining more knowledge from her years of experience.

In my spare time you will see see me and my crazy but beautiful Hungarian Vizsla Joey down at Boambee Beach every day of the week when I’m not in the studio.

I truly believe that Pilates can benefit everyone.
