Olivia is a co-founder of VIVA Pilates Education. She began her Pilates journey using Pilates as a key component of her rowing training, where she quickly recognised the critical connection between core strength, spinal stability and overall athletic performance. This early understanding of the body’s mechanics inspired her to pursue formal Pilates instructor training while completing her Bachelor of Business.

Since then, Olivia has built a career dedicated to integrating Pilates principles into both everyday movement and specialised training. She places a huge emphasis on strength, alignment and functional wellbeing and has spent more than 20 years immersed in the Pilates industry and, along with Genvieve, has owned and operated boutique Pilates studios since 2016. 

Olivia’s Pilates lineage has a direct teaching line that reaches back through multiple generations of instructors to Eve Gentry, one of Joseph Pilates’ original protégés and a key custodian of his method. This heritage brings authenticity and depth to her understanding of the work and fuels her commitment to honouring Pilates’ foundations while steering VIVA confidently into the future.
