Ep20: Melissa Turnock - BodyWisdom, Sydney

Welcome to the Pilates Diaries Podcast.
Our guest on this episode is Melissa Turnock. Melissa is a long term Pilates teacher from Sydney's Northern Beaches. Melissa was originally a speech pathologist, but since discovering Pilates in the mid nineties to overcome a debilitating back injury related to scoliosis, trained to become a teacher, and then co-founded Spring Pilates in North Sydney. Melissa has since trained in a range of other modalities, including yoga, TRE, Hypnotherapy and sound healing, and has been a shining light in the Pilates community as she co-created with industry colleague Fiona Eakin the Strengthen Your Recovery Pilates program DVD to aid with recovery following breast cancer surgery after overcoming the challenges of breast cancer herself. Melissa's passion now lies in bringing a voice of strength and empowerment to the journey of menopause.

The mission of this podcast is to share the stories of the impact of Pilates to help you live and move with more joy, physical vitality, and renewed vigor.
Pilates was a somewhat unknown word until it started creeping into conversation somewhere around the 2000s- maybe even before then depending on who you asked and amongst which circles, and has largely remained and enigma for many reasons- one of which perhaps is that Pilates really has to be experienced to be understood.
There are now a wide range of Pilates styles available when you attend a Pilates class, perhaps borne from the variation of interpretations of how Pilates was originally taught by its founder, Joseph Pilates.
With The Pilates Diaries Podcast we're inviting Pilates enthusiasts around the globe to share with us what they've noted down in their Pilates Diary.  Our hope is that the Pilates Diaries Podcast goes some way to answering the question " What is it that makes Pilates so special?"
We'll take a privileged peek into the Pilates Diaries of our guests to gain a greater insight into the impact Pilates can have in all of our lives and contribute to the health and wellbeing of the community at large.
I welcome you along for the journey and welcome your comments and discussions through the links found on your favorite podcast platform. Enjoy.
