As a result of Colleens Pilate’s instruction I am feeling great in my body for the first time in awhile!
I stand taller and am more aware of how my body moves. I am stronger than I have ever been in my core and have lost a few cm’s there too. It’s been great!!
Colleen easily explains which muscle you need to activate in order to complete the exercise and can provide further information about the interaction of muscles if you are interested.
Thanks Colleen!!

I started working with Colleen after a head injury left me with a debilitating neurological condition. I had previously enjoyed a robust physical life as a recreational athlete and my condition radically changed my life. Unable to participate in activity I grew weak and acute, chronic pain left me exhausted both mentally and physically. As a long time yoga practitioner I was sure that my yoga practice could bring me back to wellness, but postures only worsened my condition.
I was extremely limited in what I could do, but Colleen was able to introduce small, but effective movements that allowed me to focus on alignment while slowly building strength. Some days I could perform the introductory sequences she taught me, while other days I could not. There was frustration and there were tears. Amazingly, Colleen could seamlessly pivot and adapt my classes so I could always participate. She has been incredibly supportive and encouraging — sometimes even clapping her hands with glee as I begin to master movements!
Her passion for Pilates, breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding is remarkable. A consummate professional, Colleen is an excellent communicator, diligent in the execution of the Pilates method and consistently introduces new movements, sequences and equipment into her classes.
Because of her instruction I continue to progress and integrate activities into my life that I once thought I would never do. I feel enormously grateful to have the opportunity to work with her. A true gem with a kind and generous heart, Colleen has my highest recommendation!

I have seen Colleen over the past 4 years. In that time I have felt supported, safe and able to express all my concerns regarding my health. I found each session to build on the previous session therefore providing a deeper level of healing. Colleen has an outstanding level of commitment and dedication to her work.

With this being my first introduction to Pilates as well as dealing with chronic back pain I have to say Colleen is the perfect fit for me.
Her extensive knowledge of the body along with her patience has made my workouts so enjoyable.
I would recommend Colleen to any individual wanting to practice Pilates as I believe she is more than capable of tailoring the workouts to you specifically.

Colleen Marwood has been an integral part of my family’s health care for the past 3 years.
I am a 51 year old woman, and my son, who is 11 years old, work with Colleen to both address current health issues, and to maintain the outcomes that we have achieved through our work with her. We work with Colleen in conjunction with our General Family Doctor, and a Naturopathic Physician, to balance and utilize the knowledge from each area of expertise, and to ultimately choose a treatment plan that will be the most beneficial.
We work with Colleen on an on-going basis for immune system support, to identify and balance food intolerances, improve digestion, and stress management. I also work with Colleen for treatment of hormonal imbalances due to menopause, and have overcome irregular mammograms and pap tests through those treatment plans.
Colleen is a very knowledgeable and professional health care practitioner, who is able to draw upon a wide variety of skills and knowledge. This, together with her very caring nature, makes her a very valuable health care provider and resource.

Prior to ever doing Pilates, I fractured vertebrae 2, lower lumbar, in 2016. Due to my injury, not only did I need to strengthen my core, I also needed to get past my injury mentally. I started personal training with Colleen on December 9, 2020.
From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she was a person that could help me achieve new goals and also the one that would help change my life for the better. During the last year, I have been challenged and pushed by Colleen, and she has taught me a great deal. She makes working out fun and inspires me to reach new goals.
I have been very impressed by her passion to help me, her knowledge, and her ability to connect with me. It’s because of her that I’ve become addicted to Pilates.
Colleen is very caring and attentive to what each client needs, what their limits are, and how far she can push them. She encourages and motivates me to do better and yet she knows how much I am capable of. She deserves the best compliments from me. I plan to be a long-term client, and more importantly continue to work with Colleen.

My sessions with Colleen Marwood have had a generous effect on my happiness and well-being. I came into Colleen’s office wanting to gain better mental clarity, improving the way I address stressful situations. Her sessions have helped me live life feeling more peaceful and grounded. Through Specialized Kinesiology, Holistic Nutrition and Neuro Linguistic Programming my ability to manage stress has significantly improved. Holistic Nutrition has also cleared up dysfunction in my digestive and reproductive systems that persisted for over a decade. Her insight and experience has facilitated my body to heal and work as a whole. Colleen is a very knowledgeable and talented practitioner and I would highly recommend her services.

I have been practicing Pilates with Colleen for about three years. Since the pandemic it’s been on zoom. Colleen helped me strengthen my core and improve my body awareness. This has been a great help for improving my riding and pretty much with all my activities. I highly recommend Colleen as an excellent Pilates instructor, and Pilates as a great form of exercise.
