Susana Ponce
Susana is a certified Pilates Instructor through the PhysicalMind Institute Canada. Her Pilates journey began over 6 years ago and she has been mentored by teachers with Boulder and Stott Certifications.
Susana found healing and mobility in her own body after choosing Pilates as a means of rehabilitation after a surgery. A few years later, she was involved in a car accident that left her with long term neck and back pain. Pilates has helped her manage her pain and facilitate mobility again.

Her focus is on helping clients recovering from breast surgeries such as Mastectomies, Pre/Postnatal, and neck pain.

She meets each client with compassion and encourages them to find a deeper connection within their own body. Susana hopes to foster an environment where client’s feel comfortable to explore movement with a sense of curiosity and appreciation for where they are that day.
