"To do something with soul, creativity, and love —
to leave a piece of yourself in everything you do."

That's the heart of everything we create here.

 

 

 

 

​​​MOVEMENT WITH MEANING...​

​

Meraki Pilates Studio is Margate's first all-equipment waterfront Pilates studio — a private sanctuary where every session is designed entirely around you.

 

WELCOME

Hi, I'm Kimberlee — founder, instructor, and the heart behind Meraki Pilates Studio. I created this space because I believe everyone deserves high-quality, personalised movement in an environment that feels genuinely welcoming. Not a gym floor, not a crowded class — a sanctuary that's yours.

Meraki is my private home studio nestled on the waterfront here in Margate, and I'm incredibly proud to say it's the first fully equipped Pilates studio on the Redcliffe Peninsula. My family and I have been part of this beautiful, tight-knit community for over 16 years, and this studio is my love letter to it.

"I created this space to be an inviting sanctuary where you get the high-quality, personalised attention you deserve."

 

MY JOURNEY

I'll be honest — I didn't arrive at Pilates gracefully. There were rollerblades involved. (I'll leave it at that.)

After a series of injuries that forced me to slow down and really listen to my body, I found Pilates during my recovery. What started as rehabilitation quickly became a revelation. I could feel my body knitting itself back together — stronger, more aligned, and more connected than it had ever been. I wasn't just healing; I was discovering a way of moving that I truly believed in.

I saw benefits in Pilates I hadn't found anywhere else — and I became completely hooked. The natural next step? Sharing that with others. I began my Diploma in Pilates Instruction through PITC (Pilates International Training Centre) across their Brisbane and Sydney campuses in 2017, completing my qualification in 2020, and I've been teaching and growing my practice ever since.

MY APPROACH

Whether you're stepping onto the Reformer, Cadillac or Chair for the very first time, working through an injury, or looking to challenge your existing practice — your sessions at Meraki are built entirely around you. I use a thoughtful combination of Pilates props and equipment, chosen specifically for your body and your goals that day.

Sessions are kept intentionally small — Private, Duo, or Small Group with a maximum of just three people — so you'll never feel like a number. Clients describe me as supportive, encouraging, motivating, and caring. And if you ever catch a glint in my eye mid-session? That just means I have a new exercise or variation up my sleeve that I can't wait for you to try. That's not a marketing line; it's simply how I work.

My passion is simple: helping you feel your absolute best through movement that actually works for your life. I truly love sharing my passion and my little Pilates playground with every client who walks through the door.
