In 2008, Claudia made the decision to move to Australia to not only learn English but also to gain further Pilates knowledge as well as in-depth techniques. She achieved her first Pilates Certification in 2012; following this up  with a Pre and Post Natal Pilates Certificate a year later (while pregnant with her second child) and a couple of years later, advanced her qualifications further with Pilates Rehabilitation – an area that Claudia is especially passionate about. This particular Course consisted of being able to master over 130 Pilates exercises across the full spectrum of apparatuses including: Reformer, Trapeze Table, Chair, Ladder Barrel and Spine Corrector. She is certified by POLESTAR PILATES. Claudia uses this particular branch of Pilates to help her clients recover from injuries by teaching them motor learning and body awareness techniques.

The family settled to New Zealand in 2016, settling in the Omokoroa area (close to where her husband grew up). 

Currently, Claudia is teaching Matwork Pilates at Omokoroa three times a week and Reformer Group classes and Rehabilitation Session at her Studio.
