About Us

Niki, Owner and Founder of Barre Life Pilates Studio in Oakville, proudly brings her passion for Pilates to her home community through The Pilates House in Aylmer and surrounding areas.

With years of expertise and a deep commitment to mindful movement, Niki has created a welcoming space where clients experience her signature approach to Pilates. At The Pilates House, the Aylmer community enjoys the same focus on strength, mobility and wellness that has made Barre Life successful in Oakville.

After dedicating numerous years to the Toronto Film Industry as a Wardrobe Stylist, she felt a strong pull back to her dance roots and envisioned a perfect fusion of dance and fitness. Armed with over 18 years of Ballet and Contemporary Dance Training, she crafted her own Barre Certification method at Barre Life, with an emphasis on the ballet conditioning that sculpted her own training.

About a decade ago, Niki discovered her deep passion for Pilates, finding strong resonances between Pilates and dance—both being disciplines grounded in technical precision, integrity, and biomechanics. This alignment naturally led her to pursue Classical and Contemporary Comprehensive Certifications in Mat Pilates and Pilates Reformer. Additionally, she holds certifications in the Essentrics® method, and serves as a Physiotherapy Therapist Assistant for the Physiotherapy Clinical Pilates Service at Barre Life, along with being a Progressing Ballet Technique L1 Certified (PBT) instructor, specializing in conditioning for young ballet dancers.

Each day, Niki's focus is providing personalized instruction within small group classes, fostering a dedicated and supportive community in Aylmer.
