About B.A.M Movement Studio
The story behind B.A.M Movement Studio, and the experience that shaped how I help every client.
My story
I’m Barbara, founder of B.A.M Movement Studio. Like a lot of people, I didn’t plan a career in movement therapy. It found me.
The COVID lockdown gave me time I hadn’t expected, and with it came long days sitting at a desk. That’s when lower back pain crept in, and searching for relief led me to Pilates.
What started as online classes at home soon became something I couldn’t imagine my life without.
I trained as a Pilates Instructor with the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI), learning its physiotherapy-led approach to safe, effective movement for every ability. Wanting to help people further, I went on to complete two years of Level 5 Sports Therapy training, alongside a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification.
From there, B.A.M Movement Studio was born, built around everything I’d learned about moving well, and about helping other people do the same.
Movement therapy you can trust
Every session draws on years of study across movement, exercise therapy and Pilates.
It means I can look at your whole picture, not just one symptom, and choose whichever combination of exercise therapies will help you most. I’ve built my expertise through practice and kept it current through ongoing training.
It’s an affordable, accessible way to look after yourself properly, close to home, and built around your life.

Why I do this
I know what it’s like to be in pain and not know how to fix it, or who to trust with it.
That’s the reason B.A.M Movement Studio exists, to give people the kind of help I wished I’d had sooner, without the pressure to push through discomfort.
Every client I work with gets a plan built around their history, their goals and what matters to them, whether that’s walking without wincing, gardening without stiffness or simply feeling steady on their feet again.
I want you to leave every session a little stronger and more confident than when you arrived, with the tools to keep doing the things you love, for years to come.
