Hi, I’m natalie

My passion is to help women move with grace and ease, preserve their bodies, their movements and their joints for as long as humanly possible.

Movement and sports has always been part at part of my life: rock climbing, surfing, skiing and hiking, trust me the the list long! I discovered Pilates whilst working as a digital consultant back in London.

I quickly learned how much I loved Pilates and saw its power on both the mind and the body. It didn’t take me long to make a career change.

I started RE/FRAME Pilates Studio in Mexico City back in 2019. I grew the studio organically from a small studio to a large studio supporting 3 full time instructors and over 60 private women clients.

During this time I found other modalities that I became extremely passionate about, such as mobility, joint health and strength training. I’ve since gone back to my roots and operate as a private personal trainer. This way I can concentrate on blending all these modalities and training a select set of women clients who are passionate about their health and fitness and reaching their personal goals.

I’m now based in Berlin, Germany. I work with clients in studio and online.

CREDENTIALS

I work with women of all ages, levels and needs. I routinely work with different body types from those needing pre or post-surgery strengthening to elite athletes looking to enhance their athletic performance. All sessions are tailored to the individual with modifications for all body types.

ways of working

A by appointment women’s only studio. 99% of clients book at the same time per week and have recurring bookings. Over the years I have found that this helps build routine, consistency, confidence in their training and most importantly results.

Clients tend to train with me from 1 to 4 years. I still train clients from my original studio in Mexico City. I’m now based in Berlin, Germany. I work with clients in studio and online.

We can work together in either Pilates, or Mobility or what I love the most and specialise in is, the integration of both!

  • ALEXANDRA DROSHA

    I’ve been working with Natalie in Pilates for a year. However I for the past four months, I have been taking extra mobility classes to enhance my flexibility and mobility particularly for surfing and I can confidently say that I have never felt better!  My take offs and my overall body awareness has reached an entirely new level.

    I am incredibly grateful to Natalie for her personalised approach, carefully assessing my needs and creating a workout plan that perfectly suits me. Her expertise, guidance, and dedication have made a remarkable difference in my progress and If you have a chance, don’t miss out on training with this incredible professional!

  • Nadia Berrio

    Pilates with Natalie has changed my life! I started almost 3 years ago and can´t imagine my life without it now. Even after all this time Natalie keeps introducing new exercises and I am always impressed by her knowledge and dedication. I feel stronger than ever! 

  • Natalya Hardan

    To say I’m obsessed is an understatement. I’ve just finished the First Timer Package and I’m hooked! Natalie an incredible teacher, and the workouts are amazing. I’ve been doing yoga and other forms of exercise for years, and have to say that the body awareness I’m gaining through our sessions is unparalleled. Highly recommend this studio!

  • Lizzy Ma

    I’m very grateful of this studio. I’ve been worked out with Natalie and Maria for 4months, and it cured 60% of my lumbago and backache. I leaned to use my core on every exercise, my core are way more strong than before. Definitely recommend this place . It’s the most professional Pilate class I’ve been. 

  • Jiawen Shao

    I am beyond grateful for having been training with Natalie since the end of 2019.Before I started with Natalie,I had already took Pilates group class in several gyms/studios in Mexico City for about 2 years.And I finally realized what is real Pilates when Natalie showed me the charm of Pilates and the contrology method.

    I have been enjoying every minute of the class even when she is nicely “picky” with me and really look forward to going to the studio when there is a class scheduled on the day.

    Natalie is unbelievably patient when it comes to my question(Yes,I love asking questions during the class)and has huge passion in perfecting her teaching.She always plans class ahead and keeps adding new concepts as we progress.

  • Maria Moller

    I'd been wanting to try Pilates and this seemed like a good time and place. I was not wrong! Natalie was absolutely incredible. She is lovely, warm, gentle, affirming and knows bodies in an incredible way. It was totally worth the cost. Do it!!! I had my last class a few days ago and I already miss her. But I know that she has given me a good foundation for continued study back home. 

  • Kate Kondayn

    I found Pilates after a running injury via recommendation from a physiotherapist, and over the past decade (and counting) I've practiced at many types of studios with many excellent instructors. I've loved them all, but Natalie is hands-down the best teacher I've ever had. Her planning is impeccable, but she always asks how you are feeling on a given day and goes with the flow accordingly. Her cues are clear, direct, and amazingly effective; the one simple adjustment you can make to help everything pop into place.

    She radiates understanding and patience, yet in each class still challenges and motivates me to work a little harder than I thought I could.  Being a foreigner in a hectic city can be rough. Re/Frame has had exponential benefits for me, both physically and mentally. I am so grateful to Natalie for creating such a calming and empowering space, and inviting her clients to share it.

  • Ana Cerillo

    The best Pilates class, not only in Mexico, but anywhere! The studio is beautiful, clean and bright. The training is precise, thoughtful, challenging and inspiring. Amazing knowledgeable instructors! I feel great after every session, with more energy, and I always look forward to my lessons. Highly recommend working with Natalie if you can!

  • Sybil Bromberg

    I have been training with Natalie at Reframe Pilates for three years.  Natalie is an incredible Pilates instructor.  Working out with Natalie is not only excellent for my physical health, but for my mental health too! I am so grateful to Natalie.

  • Emily Macguire

    I was lucky to meet Natalie after doing my first year of Pilates virtually during the pandemic. From the moment I met her, I knew I was in capable, compassionate hands. She tailors sessions to help me build strength, confidence and awareness in my posture and flexibility. She always checks in to make sure the sessions are what I am looking for, and she has provided suggestions to help me outside of our sessions. I know that when my day starts with Pilates with Natalie, that it’s going to be a great day!

  • Dr. Nicole Seward

    I’ve worked with Natalie for years. She teaches Pilates to an incredibly focused depth I’ve never seen before. As a medical professional myself, it’s such a treat.  I had been trying to figure out some complex knee pain and instability. Working on it myself with weight lifting was improving things but I was getting stuck. Immediately after starting with Natalie I saw improvements that translated into better movement in my day to day life.  After years of solo work… She’s been able to expand her studio across multiple languages and cultures making it a true mixing pot. I wouldn’t hesitate a moment to consider RE/FRAME.

  • Elen Fay

    Natalie is that rare thing - a teacher who knows exactly when to push you and when to leave you some space. That way you progress fast, while feeling safe at all times. I have trained with her for a year and I learned so much! - Movements I had done wrong for years suddenly made sense. Natalie’s attention to detail is as incredible as the way she prepares for every single lesson, catering exactly to your individual needs and physical idiosyncrasies. In her classes you sweat, you laugh and you leave feeling strong and aware of your body.

  • Robyn Besserman

    Can’t express how knowledgeable and talented Natalie is. I’ve been taking Pilates for over 10 years in between NYC and London and she is by far the best teacher I’ve ever had. I will Continue my work with her both in person and via Zoom. Can’t recommend her enough!! 

  • Belinda Mason

    FANTASTIC! Natalie and her team are awesome. I've been doing Pilates for over 25 years and they are among the best I've worked with.
