I’m Rachael, the main woman behind Room For Movement Pilates Studio and I suppose this is a bit of a reintroduction to me and the business I’ve built. I’m a nature lover, traveller, deep thinker and a lover of all things human movement. I try to bring a strong moral compass, care and kindness into my business at every turn, and as I reflect on a decade in business here’s a little bit about how I got this business going…
In 2015, I didn’t have a business plan. I didn’t have a financial strategy, and I’d never even heard of a profit and loss. I was just a young woman who had found a form of therapy in Pilates for my mind, body, and spirit—and I wanted to share that with others. I never manifested, planned, or envisioned that it would grow into what it’s become. But I did commit myself to showing up to teach the work, to learning and growing in my field, and it grew and grew.
Eventually my inability to say “no” led to burnout, mental health challenges, and financial woes post pandemic. As it turns out, building a business, on intuition only, with no plans and no experience is a path fraught with challenges: I can’t (and won’t) romanticise the buckets and buckets of resilience and determination it’s taken to make this business last.
But through every season- I’ve tried to run Room for Movement from my heart—mostly because I don’t know how else to do it. (Wonder what magic will happen in the next few years when we mix that heart with a bit more vision!)
✨ If Pilates with us is on your radar it might be nice to know that your classes won’t ever feel transactional- I’m personally invested in positive movement experiences for everyone who comes through our door.
