Meet Niki

Niki, the Owner/Founder of Barre Life Pilates Studio in Oakville is thrilled to expand her Pilates services to the Town of Aylmer where she resides and its surrounding areas with the launch of The Pilates House. This exciting  venture brings Niki's expertise and passion for Pilates to a her community, and is happy to share the benefits of mindful movement with our local community..

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 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 collaborates closely with her clients to help them achieve their fitness goals, and witnessing their progress of increased strength, enhanced body image, and improved alignment fuels her daily purpose and passion. Her multifaceted skills and disciplines beautifully complement her enduring love for dance, movement, and holistic healing.
