Key descriptions

PASSIONATE — ENERGETIC — LOVER OF LIFE

Maria’s background

Maria grew up in Limburg and brings her passion for movement and well-being to Waves as a dedicated Pilates instructor. She completed her Mat and Comprehensive Pilates trainings with Polestar Pilates in 2023 and has been spreading her love for Pilates ever since.

Why she does what she does

Maria is driven by the belief that everyone can feel confident and empowered in their movement. Her goal is to guide clients on their journey toward understanding and embracing how their bodies work, helping them discover the joy and fulfillment that movement can bring. Her aim is to help you become resilient: to listen to your body and sense what you need. Sometimes that’s gentle guidance, sometimes it’s the courage to try something new. She loves Pilates and movement with all her heart, and she especially enjoys building towards exercises that feel tricky at first, one small step at a time.

Fun facts about Maria

Maria simply loves Pilates. She loves practising it, she loves teaching it, and she loves sharing that passion. Her second great love is being in the water. Nothing makes her happier than a long swim, and really, anything in the water will make her smile. She’s a self-proclaimed water enthusiast who jokes that she’d teach Pilates in the water if she could! Always curious, she loves trying new sports, from cycling to climbing, and exploring different ways to stay active. Outside of movement, Maria enjoys cooking, travelling and soaking up life in general. Her heart belongs to the sun and the sea, and if she’s ever hard to find, she’s likely by the waves, soaking in her favourite elements of nature.
