Pilates

Laura O’Hara
My name is Laura O’Hara, I am a qualified Physiotherapist & Pilates Instructor, gaining my mat work level 1 & 2 qualification with APPI (The Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute) 4 years ago. Together with teaching Pilates, I work as a Physiotherapist in an acute Hospital and am a busy Mum of 3 children.
