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

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.

My journey as a remedial massage therapist began in 2005 at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies in Sydney. This path has led me to be able to help people with many different injuries aiding them in recovery. I have previously worked with a variety of sports teams such as NSW Netball, The National Rugby League and Cricket Australia providing deep tissue remedial massage. I have also had the experience of providing de-stress and relaxation massages in health retreats and clinics through out NSW. In addition to feeling relaxed, massage has a number of healing benefits such as reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, promoting flexibility and providing myofascial release. Massage can assist in eliminating toxins from muscles and fat by increasing blood flow. My approach to massage is holistic, I view a person as a whole rather than only the site of the pain. This enables the person to walk out feeling an overall sense of relief for their whole body and mind. Knowledge is power and I like to educate my clients to understand how to best look after their bodies and try to and prevent further injury or discomfort.
