P I L A T E S U P D A T E — Welcome Nelle! 😍
Nelle is joining us at Waves after completing her studies in Movement and Sports Sciences at KU Leuven, where she specialised in Performance and Active Lifestyle Coaching. From a young age, dance has been her first language: exploring ballet, jazz, urban and latin before falling in love with contemporary dance. For eight years, she taught children and teenagers, earning her Dance Instructor diploma at the Vlaamse Trainersschool. It was through dance that she discovered Pilates. A 2024 internship in the Waves Clinical Gym sparked the inspiration to pursue the Comprehensive Pilates Course after graduating and quietly planted the dream of one day joining the Waves team. That dream is now reality 💙
For Nelle movement is more than just exercise, it’s a powerful tool for change. Having experienced her own injuries and back complaints, she knows first-hand how impactful targeted exercise therapy can be. That personal journey shaped her mission: helping people become pain-free, stronger, and more confident in their bodies. The coach in her has always been present. Even as a child, she was already helping her mum with posture exercises and supporting her dad with his cycling training 🚴♂️
Outside the clinic, Nelle is a true explorer at heart. She’s always planning her next adventure, from beaches and wild nature to snowy landscapes and even the northern lights ✨ Her Erasmus experience in Finland added ice skating, cross-country skiing, and downhill skiing to her skillset. Back home, you’ll likely find her at a concert or searching for the best Italian restaurant in town, because Italian cuisine is, without a doubt, her favourite!
We’re so excited to have Nelle’s energy, warmth, and passion for movement with us at Waves. Welcome to the team Nelle 💙
