Meet Mandi
owner . instructor
My love for movement and exercise started from a young age. I have done a plethora of sports throughout my life, excelled in a few, dappled in others and even earned my national colours in two of them.
I started Pilates as rehabilitation after injury and have never looked back. It strengthened my core and allowed me to bounce back quickly after a massive surgery. It allowed for me to have an easy pregnancy, and child-birth. Pilates changed my life. My road to recovery has given me insight, understanding and compassion for everyone.
I am passionate and committed to helping others gain more quality of life, recover from injuries, and reach their health and fitness goals. I completed my BASI Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training Course under the watchful eye of world renowned Ashley Ritchie. And have continued my studies and work experience under her mentorship.
I believe in the healing powers of mindful intentional movement and breathing which Pilates embodies. I love the holistic health approach that BASI Pilates provides and I embrace it as a total lifestyle every day.

Margo Reeler
“Mandi is an Amazing Pilates instructor. I love how she challenges me in every session to do more and to be stronger than the previous one. She cares about her clients’ wellbeing and reminds us to listen to our bodies. In the last 2 years that I have trained with Mandi I have done the unexpected and developed muscles I never knew I had. I have more confidence in the way I look at my body, its gorgeous curves and amazing abilities. I love the way I carry myself.”
Ian Huntley
“A quick word of thanks to Mandi and her Pilates studio The Gap. I’m sure most people know that the value of Pilates lies in the quality of the instructor and it’s the personal attention given to each student that makes the difference. There’s been a big improvement in my core strength. I go away from sessions full of energy even though we are pushing through to achieve my fitness and flexibility goals. Mandi is the difference though, with her personal attention and focus on each individual, coupled with great humour makes the time just fly by. I hope The Gap goes from strength to strength.”
Norma Church
“As a runner and crossfitter I struggle with injuries and shortened/tight muscles. Mandi goes the extra mile to plan my classes accordingly, always considering and taking into account any weak or injured areas that may need attention. She researches how to address a specific injury and then implements a well thought through strategy. Furthermore, her energy and passion for what she does is addictive, she is always upbeat and very easy to get along with. Her zest for life is infectious and it is rare that I walk out of her studio without her positivity having rubbed off on me. She makes me work hard but I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with her and have benefited both in body and soul. Thank you Mandi!”
Surae De Klerk
“About a year ago when I started Pilates I could not have dreamt that it will improve my performance in other sports this much. The awareness of how to activate muscles in my body, optimize and execute movements was very foreign to me. Mandi has the ability to bring the best out in me. She has such a fine eye to spot incorrect execution of movement. Everyday I am thankful for taking that first step and stepping into the gap.”
Gene Fitzgerald
“Dear Mandi, I want to express my gratitude for the help and guidance you provided me during my journey to manage my osteoporosis. Your expertise and dedication to your craft have been exceptional, and you have had a positive impact on my health and overall well-being. Throughout every session, you were always attentive, ensuring I was performing each exercise correctly and safely. Each session was challenging but enjoyable, and I felt greater confidence and strength as a result. I want you to know that working with you has been very enjoyable. Your knowledge, support, and encouragement have given me the tools I need to manage my osteoporosis successfully, and I feel so much better physically. I cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done for me. As a Pilates instructor I would highly recommend you to anyone who is dealing with health challenges or who wants to elevate their physical fitness journey. Thank you again for everything you do, and for helping me achieve my goals. Sincerely, Gene.”
