Meet Ali
Always a dedicated Pilates student, I turned my passion into a career when I left the New York fashion scene to study at the Pilates International Academy on 5th (www.erikabloompilates.com) I see a full range of populations -from the young and fit to the elderly, as well as clients with specific rehabilitation needs. Working exclusively one-on-one with clients, I believe in creating a personalized program, carefully addressing individual needs.Working specifically with prenatal clients I develop a program that changes throughout their 3 trimesters as their bodies do, whilst also preparing them physically for the birth of their beautiful babies and the important post partum period. After the birth I work to help clients regain their strength - with specific focus initially on Diastasis rehab and finding their pelvic floor again. As I have just gone through this experience myself - I have first hand knowledge of the challenges and strain childbearing has on your body and what an important role Pilates plays in developing and maintaining strength and endurance during this time in a woman’s life.
Hailing from the “land down under” I have an easy going nature but still constantly challenge my clients and believe the results they achieve are a fantastic reward for their hard work and dedication – a feeling I love to share with my them as they realize their physical goals. I enjoy developing a good rapport with my clients and care deeply about their well being and how Pilates can play a positive part in their lives.

Redefining the nanny experience
We believe families thrive when they are supported by optimistic, energetic and capable people and at Crisford & Co it is our goal to provide just that. Our nannies are more than caregivers - they act as the big sister, best friend and parental confidant.
We provide tailored packages uniquely designed to you and your family's needs, whether it be finding a nanny with a focus on newborns & infant care, with experience in music & languages, with an orientation toward health & fitness, as a live-in or live-out, for travel, or a mix of all. We take the time to listen to your needs and make just the right placement for your family.
As part of our lifestyle-oriented service, we provide a range of specialists who complement childcare so that you and your family can enjoy the highest sense of wellness before and after child birth. Our inhouse team includes pre & post natal Yoga and Pilates instructors, nutritionists, lactation consultants, & child space organizers, and a session with up to two of these services is included – complimentary – with every nanny placement.
