We were made to move
Striving & achieving life long habits and dreams takes effort, but it’s positively worth it. Seek caring guidance, encouragement, kindness and a Teacher who believes in you.
My life work, love of movement & music, fascination with human anatomy in motion, the healing connection of brain, body and breathe and passion to help and make a difference to my clients lives, underpins every APT experience. I want to inspire you to understand yourself on a deeper level, embrace and celebrate yourself. To support you to become the healthiest, strongest, most aligned inside and out, version of you.
By accessing new specific movements, we can begin to unravel finding our body’s centre. The closer you move around your centre the less effort-ful and the more effort-less it becomes. This creates a new choice & freedom to move well to BE well. Releasing pain and finding simple joy.

Testimony
“I had the privilege of having personal sessions and joining early morning classes while on a women's retreat (in Bali) not so long ago. What stood out for me was Andrea's plethora of professional knowledge and skill, while her magical personal connections made my body energetically want to move EVERY day. Andrea made me feel special and helped me understand that my body already had the desire to move and be active and Andrea has the gift to be able to connect with people to activate this desire. I can absolutely recommend Andrea's classes to anyone at any level, it is energizing and addictive, LOVE LOVE LOVE this amazing woman and her energy for living her passion 🙏🏽”

Every day/session may be different - sometimes you are firing and others dealing with the stuff of life - APT will nurture, nourish and support you according to where you are at.

I began APT as an interactive human face to face experience nurturing enjoyable personal & friendly relationships. That said, world has changed dramatically in the past few years and from this arose LIVE online + recordings access. This enables many to have new access to wonderful education, methods, mentors, coaches and teachers. Sourcing out that person you can connect with on a deeply authentic, personal level, is possible via live & interactive online classes.
Since 2021 APT has offered a balanced combination of both live and online private sessions, courses and classes. Our Small Group Studio model launched in 2014 in a huge well ventilated Studio in Richmond, gives clients personalised expert attention. It has always been a priority for APT clients to feel cared for, safe, understood, seen and heard, without judgement or comparison. Plus fresh new innovative programs every 8- 10 week term. Combining face to face AND live online has been a game changer for many of my APT Community.
3 live interactive classes + 3 class recordings, meaning you can do a movement session of choice 7 days a week anytime 24/7 AND be accountable to show up as well.
Mindful Monday, Express 30 & BODYART programs are the perfect balance for all pillars of health for life. Every term you are eased into a new innovative program created by Andrea - using nearly 50 years of professional dance, movement & well-being experience. Train from where you are at and progress the way you choose from there.
