Who is behind UNIKA Pilates?
With a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, a Master's degree in Sports Physiotherapy, and certification as a Pilates instructor, Valerie has spent the past several years helping people of all ages improve the way they move and feel.
Her approach has always been the same: movement is most powerful when it is understood.
After years of working in rehabilitation, performance, and Pilates, she felt a calling that was impossible to ignore: to create a space where evidence-based movement, thoughtful coaching, and a genuine sense of community could all exist under one roof.
Why UNIKA Pilates?
UNIKA Pilates was built on a simple belief: when movement is guided with intention and understanding, it becomes so much more than exercise.
Founded by Valerie, UNIKA blends the precision of Pilates with the expertise of kinesiology to help you move better, feel stronger, and build a deeper connection with your body. Every class is thoughtfully designed to challenge you in a way that feels purposeful, supportive, and tailored to where you are.
Here, science and mindful movement come together in a welcoming community where everyone belongs. We believe that every movement has a purpose, every person has a different journey, and every class is an opportunity to leave feeling stronger, more confident, and more connected to yourself.
