Meet Our Team
Meet Jeanne
Founder & Owner of Think SIlver studio and Pilates & Nia instructor
​
As a movement specialist and Somatic & integral leadership coach, I have married these modalities of mind and body into what we offer at Think Silver studio.
My passion is to not only help your body find agility, strength, resilience and alignment BUT to invite you to move BEYOND movement. The body offers us so much wisdom and it is a portal to accessing more resilience, empathy and understanding of what it means to embody the life we want, as well as living into our inner potential, experience more flow and connectedness in our lives all round and to understand how important our wellbeing is to the world around us.
Moving into a new paradigm of movement and being is to understand what embodiment truly means! And that is what our mission is...to offer you not only fitness
& mindful movement that gives you a WHOLE BODY experience but rather a WHOLE BEING experience!
My background and inspiration of the work I do have been fueled by my multifaceted journey. Starting off as a professional tennis & squash player, to studying Human movement science & psychology (BA) at Stellenbosch University and completing my master in Psychotherapy at Delta state university (USA), after which I completed an array of courses and diplomas in Pilates, Nia, Fascia, Massage, Somatics and Coaching. Marrying these courses with 100s of hours of work with clients through movement and consulting/coaching I continue to learn and be inspired by life and the journey with each client, as well as my own body and self.
My overriding vision and mission is to touch your life, expand your experience of your body and being not only because I understand this as WELLNESS but because what I bring you has touched my life in such a positive and meaningful way.
Meet Nicola
​Yoga, Pilates, Dance & Personal Training Instructor | Master Trainer | Wellness Coach
I'm a movement and wellness specialist & facilitator with over two decades in fitness and more than ten years in holistic wellness. I bring together fitness components, mindfulness and connection to self, so that what you practise on the mat, in the studio or on the dance floor carries into your everyday life.
​
My passion is to help your body become stronger, more mobile and more resilient, and also to invite you to listen to it. The body holds so much wisdom. When we learn to work with the nervous system, fascia and mind through breath, movement and awareness, we can release old patterns, find more ease and flow, and feel more like ourselves. My aim is to offer you a WHOLE BEING experience, not just a workout.
I offer Pilates, yoga, personal training and dance, in both group and private sessions. I'm a Master Trainer in yoga, Pilates and personal training, and I've trained instructors for organisations including Virgin Active and HFPA.
​
My yoga background includes Hatha, Kundalini, Vinyasa, and Somatic approaches, alongside breathwork, meditation, fascia release, sound healing, yoga nidra, HeartMath coaching and health and nutrition coaching.
​
My journey has taken me from gyms, running my own studios to retreat centres, and I've taught in Thailand, Portugal, the UK and South Africa. I've managed wellness programmes and wellness teams, and spent ten years working in addiction recovery and mental health wellness. That work taught me how powerfully movement, breath, awareness and community can support real, lasting change. I've also worked extensively in detox, cleansing and nutrition, which showed me how closely food, movement and mindset are connected.
​
Outside of teaching, I'm a trail runner, a past triathlete and a CrossFit competitor. I love the ocean and the outdoors, whether I'm surfing, snorkeling, or hiking. Dance, music and singing are a big part of my life too, and you'll often find that joy woven into my classes.
​
My mission is to meet you exactly where you are and to help you feel stronger and more connected in your body. Movement has changed and shaped my life, and I'd love to share that with you.
"The more we plug into our body and understand our mind... the more we start to see the unlimited potential that lies within us."
​
We upgrade our devices & knowledge in so many different areas...why are we not upgrading our understanding of mind and body in movement and how this relates to our experience of life and wellbeing?
