Creating a healthier lifestyle.

Toneya has been in love with health and fitness every since she was a young girl when her parents put her into dancing at the age of 3. From then her passion for movement has only flourished and through dance she has explored other areas of wellness and movement, Pilates. Toneya is a passionate advocate of the many benefits that Pilates can bring to people, in particular for mental and physical health. Toneya has a dance & performance background where she started dancing at a young, training in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, tap, commercial jazz and hip-hop. She always knew that health and fitness was going to be the focal point of her career. In 2009, Toneya studied full-time at Ecole Ballet and Dance Theatre where she trained in Pilates to help enrich her Classical studies. Toneya obtained a Diploma in Performing Arts (Dance) at ED5 International after studying and training full-time during 2012-2013. Toneya has obtained her Certificate of Ballet Teaching Studies through the Royal Academy of Dance during 2016-2017. Toneya has been performing professionally and has worked with some of the industry’s most prominent teachers and choreographers. Some of Toneya’s highlights have been performing at Marquee Sydney (The Star), dancing at the City of Dreams in Manila, the Philippines for 6 months, performing two summer contracts on Sydney Showboat and performing throughout Sydney with her agent Dargie Entertainment. Toneya wanted to further her understanding of the body so during 2019 she began her studies at the highly recognised Pilates institution, Polestar Education. During this time she began to truly love and appreciate the art of Pilates and could feel and see the benefits that it had on her body. In Pilates there are always new opportunities to learn and grow and to adapt movements to suit all bodies. Toneya is excited to share her knowledge with everyone and to continue to learn the art of Pilates. #Dip. Performing Arts (DANCE), RAD RTS – Ballet, Pilates Matwork Instructor

I started gymnastics when I was 6 years old and trained until I was 18. I started coaching at the young age of 13 in between my training commitments and never looked back. After I retired from gymnastics, I took on coaching full time working with athletes at all levels of gymnastics. A career highlight for me was having my first gymnast selected onto the New Zealand Levels Team back in 2015, just 2 years after retiring from gymnastics. In my current role; High Performance Coach – Women's Artistic Gymnastics, I am responsible for providing program delivery, coaching and coordinating external support to a small group of Elite Female Gymnasts. Key Achievements include: Coaching within a team that has three (3) Australian Representatives, two (2) World Championship representatives and two (2) National Champions.

My keen interest in biomechanics of the human body led me to pursuing a career in chiropractic. I graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Chiropractic science and Masters of Chiropractic. My clinical experience has allowed me to apply a multidisciplinary approach in the treating of a wide range of spinal and sporting injuries. I utilise a number of different modalities including soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, dry needling and exercise rehabilitation. I specifically tailor each treatment  to the needs of my patients by identifying the underlying cause of the injury and the contributing factors that may lead to dysfunction. I firmly believe that educating my patients is imperative in a successful rehabilitation, especially when trying to minimise the risk of re-injury. I also have a strong desire to constantly further my own education and knowledge in order to deliver the best possible treatment for my patients.
