Arantzasu, or Ari, as most people know her, graduated in 2013 from Universidad Andres Bello (Santiago, Chile). She also has a Diploma in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy from the same entity and has been a certified Pilates instructor since 2015.
Before coming to New Zealand in 2018, she worked in a big sports clinic in Chile, combining both physiotherapy and Pilates into her practice. In New Zealand she has had the opportunity to work as a Pilates instructor and as a Physiotherapist in private practice.
Ari is a passionate learner, always undertaking both face-to-face and online courses, most recently gaining skills in Dry Needling and combining her manual therapy background with the Mulligan Method. She is now also a certified Pelvic Health Physiotherapist.
Since arriving in New Zealand, Ari started taking adult Ballet classes and incorporating Yoga into her own practice. As well, she has become a beginner golfer, an activity that she shares with her partner.
Ari enjoys hands-on work but believes strongly in the importance of movement and body/mind connection, one of the reasons why she loves Pilates and Yoga. She is a very committed and empathetic professional, always with a big smile (even under her facemask), who will listen to your
needs and make sure you return to your usual activities.
Ari speaks both Spanish and English.
