““Highly recommended! Lucia is an amazing human being. She has helped me in so many ways, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the time that I’ve had the privilege to spend with her. She is wise, insightful, patient and caring. I really could not recommend her enough.”

“The processes of dealing with Reformforlife has been seamless and easy. Lucia's online classes have been a great and novel experience for me. She is good with details in keeping your form and maximising the exercises. Im loving doing classes in the comfort of home combined with Lucia's personal attention.
All round a great experience which i would highly recommend.”

“Lucia is a great trainer and facilitator. She encourages her students, she is attentive and listens well and she “knows her business”. She is serious but at the same time smiling, focused on the objectives and just “comfortable and nice” to be with. She was my Pilates and yoga trainer for a few years in Cape Town. Wonderful experience for me.”

“Lucia has been helping me recently with exam anxiety and self-confidence through hypnosis. After just two sessions, I have gone from struggling to sleep through the night and constant nausea to feeling relaxed, confident and ready to take on my exam. Not only was Lucia very supportive but she made me feel completely at ease and has given me techniques that I can carry forward with me in my life. I really cannot thank or recommend her enough!”

“Mindfulness is completely new to me and something that I have viewed quite sceptically. However, the sessions with Lucia have been informative with clear explanations as to psychological benefits and also how mental health and pain can also benefit from Mindfulness sessions. Over the weeks, I have realised that different meditations seem to work depending on how I am feeling. Lucia has the perfect tone for meditation and I find that having started her sessions that any difficulty that I have sleeping has become less.”

“In all my years of knowing Lucia I have found her to be dedicated and caring in her approach to her teaching. Her warmth is infectious and her vast knowledge and amazing credentials both of yoga and Pilates instil confidence in everyone who has been taught by her.”

“Thank you Lucia, the course has been so useful to me. I particularly liked the lake mediation and also the idea of treating yourself with more compassion. I liked how you gave lots of examples of research into the different elements of mindfulness. It’s really interesting and think it’s something that everyone should practice.”

“Having discovered Pilates on holiday in 2018, I came home searching for classes. With no luck, I turned to the Internet and connected with Lucia.I can honestly say that it has changed my life, my body and my focus. Our Skype/Zoom classes last an hour and the privilege of having a BASI qualified Instructor in my own house is incredible. I love that I can have a full body workout without buying expensive equipment and I love the dress size that I’ve dropped ”

— Maggie - Scotland

“I like your classes and I’m liking the convenience/comfort of zoom-at-home classes - and I’m sure a lot of people feel that way too, realising that it’s actually much better, or at least as good as, the live class. I notice that you are really watching us also (!) :)))) I don’t think I’ve ever had that even in a live class.”

— Charlie - London

“I have experienced a variety of Pilates classes in the past, however, I find Lucia’s classes and style of teaching to be the most beneficial. I have attended Lucia’s classes both in the studio and most recently live online. Instructions are just as clear online as they are in the studio, and Lucia demonstrates exercises with variations to suit an individuals level and range of movement. I find the classes both challenging and rewarding, and always enjoyable.”

— Karen - England

“Lucia’s remote classes feel more in person than many in person classes led by others. Her remarkable facility with the English language means that she is exceptionally effective at giving directions that are easy to follow and result in my achieving postures that feel right and push my boundaries in the correct way. Truly, the best Pilates instructor I have ever had.”

— Ian - San Fransisco

“I met Lucia 14 years ago when I started doing Pilates at her studio. We became friends and after much encouragement from Lucia, I became a Pilates teacher. We have been friends and colleagues ever since. Lucia diversified into yoga, one of her great passions. We moved to Cape Town and opened a studio here, where Lucia is the owner/teacher and I’m the manager/teacher. Lucia has a deep love for yoga and the benefits of it on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. She is an empathetic and compassionate person and that shines through in her teaching.”

— Marisa - Cape Town

“I highly recommend Pilates classes with Lucia. She is a fantastic teacher, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I used to attend classes in person but due to the coronavirus it is a virtual class which works just as well as Lucia offers individual attention. I definitely feel like I’ve had a good workout after every class and my body feels so much better afterwards.”

— Becky - Buckingham

“I had 5 sessions with Lucia and found her to be very professional, knowledgeable and understanding. She was able to successful help me reach my goals and I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking Hypno-CBT.”

— Abby - UK

“She is thoroughly instinctive and empathetic. Very intelligent and has the endearing quality of not taking herself too seriously and admitting her mistakes (such as they are). Lucia can integrate in most levels of society, and the many friends she has, she keeps for life. She has a strong sense of worth, high standards, open minded and honest. I trust her implicitly.”
