Chillax

Hi! I’m Sumi,

Clinical Pilates Instructor and Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist.

I’m an outdoors lover and believe keeping active, eating well and taking time to understand and care for yourself are the keys to a healthy, strong and happy life.

It all started with an interest in human anatomy & physiology that led to studies in Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy and Clinical Pilates Instruction.

​I’m a former ballet dancer and currently I’m into distance running. Both come with a requirement for me to really pay attention to my body and its cues in order to remain injury free. I practice Clinical Pilates as a means of maintaining core strength, joint stability and mobility.

​As a Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist I treat many clients for injury prevention or as part of their injury rehabilitation. Clinical Pilates couples nicely with this as it brings movement back to the basics and rebuilds strength from being able to correctly activate the targeted muscles.

​I also work closely with Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, Acupuncturists, Podiatrists, Naturopaths & Nutritionists as I know from both my personal and clinical experience that taking care of yourself can sometimes require a team effort. My aim is to help you be your best in health.

Reviews

“Sumi @ Chillax and her pilates classes have really helped my running and triathlon racing. Like many I work at a desk and the Chillax pilates helps to strengthen and mobilise my back and core to help reduce the chance of injury and makes me a more efficient racer. Sumi helps explain the correct movements, what should be activated and why, which means I’m more engaged in the sessions and get better results. Happy to take any phone calls on 0430199021 about the service. Ben”

“Pilates with Sumi has changed my whole outlook on physical fitness and health. I have struggled for years with my fitness. Although I had felt fit, I didn’t feel strong. By focusing on my core my whole body has changed and I find myself carrying the principals of Pilates in everyday life, not just in class. Sumi is a great teacher – very patient and clear with instruction, she will tailor a class that is right for you. I can’t begin to thank Sumi enough!”

“I met Sumi at a cycling event and mentioned that I was just getting back into riding and dreading it slightly as my fitness (hills Hills HILLS) had slipped over Winter. After a few sessions of Pilates with Sumi and specific homework exercises, I found not only was I making it up the hills easier than anticipated but also that my recurring neck and back issues from cycling & sitting at a desk all day had started to get better. Having Sumi tailor specific exercises to assist with my riding was fantastic and the time and detail she explained the exercises and principals of Pilates was unlike any Pilates teacher I had seen before. This detail really helped me in what I wanted to achieve.”

“If you are looking for a high quality sports/remedial massage then look no further. I visited Sumi after city2surf this year and found her knowledge and skills to be of the highest level. I have never had such a quick recovery after city2surf. Thank you so much Sumi for aiding my recovery and enabling me to get back to training ASAP.”

“Can’t recommend Sumi enough! Every time I’ve been for a massage my muscles feel as light as air and my mind equally relaxed. Also can’t stress how much my training improved from having more movement. I just wish now that I’m back in London you’d open an outpost here!”
