The Instructor Academy
A 6 week mentorship for Pilates Instructors and Fitness Professionals.
Confidently support pre/postnatal clients, navigate pelvic health, and teach with clarity — without second-guessing yourself.
The Perinatal Edition
You’ve done the courses. You’ve got the certificates.
But when it comes to pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy, or postnatal recovery...
You still find yourself thinking:
“Am I doing this right?”
You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not underqualified.
You’re just missing the mentorship, nuance, and real-world integration no one teaches you in standard training.
If you’re a certified Pilates instructor who feels like your anatomy knowledge is shaky or you're still second-guessing yourself in class — this 9-week mentorship is for you.
We’ll meet weekly to dive into different parts of the body (like the glutes, hips, SI joint, and core, is that even a thing?!), so you know exactly what you're working with and how to teach perinatal clients with confidence.
By the end, you’ll feel ready to adapt for any pelvic concern, speak about anatomy like a pro, and lead your sessions with clarity, creativity, and authority.
What we will cover......
✔️ Pre & Postnatal adaptation and cueing
✔️ Pelvic floor dysfunction — what it is, what it isn’t, and how to help
✔️ Movement regressions & progressions for centre and pelvic health
✔️ Gait, breath mechanics, and the body as a global system
✔️ sessions outside of our scope, when to refer on and how to work with other professionals.
✔️ How to build a referral network and elevate your professional identity
You're in the right place.....
I have helped hundreds of instructors move from uncertainty to unshakable clarity. My goal isn’t to give you a formula — it’s to sharpen your lens, simplify the complex, and support you in becoming the expert your clients already think you are
The Instructor Academy is for:
-
Know what to do (and what to avoid) when working with pelvic floor dysfunction
-
Adapt your sessions for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond — with clinical confidence
-
Build intelligent core + pelvic strategies for real bodies, not ideal textbook cases
-
Understand pain, emotion, and the nervous system without feeling out of your depth
-
Step into your role as a go-to practitioner in your field
This isn’t a cookie-cutter course.
It’s a tailored, high-touch mentorship for instructors who want to lead with clarity and teach what they know deeply.
"I have done a lot of online training and I liked the way Victoria taught and the information that was given, it was different. I now have my focus back."
"I felt overwhelmed and was uncertain about how everything fitted together. Now I look at the everyday client as a whole"
"I have adapted my instruction and cueing and I can see that it's resonating better now. I am a more confident instructor with my clients and peers."

I know how frustrating it can be to keep doing courses and workshops and just learning more exercises, but still having no idea why you are doing them or how they actually help, let alone how to adapt movements for injuries and special populations.
I have been there too. Frustrated, confused and feeling like an imposter in an industry I thought I knew and wanted to be part of.
That's when I did the work, found my niche and who I wanted to work with, found the area that lit me up and have now created The Instructor Academy to enable you to do the same. I want to help relieve some of the loneliness I experienced as a new instuctor and build a community of professionals that can all rely on one another for support.
So what are you waiting for, now it's your turn and your time.
