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 you and support you to become your 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 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 🙏🏽”

Personalised Private & Assisted PNF Stretching Rebalance Sessions

The sky is the limit. APT’s one on one face to face Studio or live online sessions, are totally personalised to you. Discovering what you need and want, and what is ‘apt’ for you, at your pace.

Focus is often on centre-ing - understanding what small adjustments you can bring into your body via your brain and breathe with awareness. This is the key to injury prevention, sharing the load and pain free mindful movement for life and longevity.

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.

A One on One Assisted PNF Stretching Session is a wonderful way to enhance your recovery, improve mobility & flexibility as well as release, re-centre & relax both physically and mentally.

‘The Movement Sessions and Assisted PNF Stretching is an essential part of one of my long term clients with PD. I see him regularly 3 times a week - with at least 2 of these, the major part of the session is assisted stretching, releasing and re-aligning. This has been developed through trust and working together for over 17 years. Andrea Jan 2026

All from the comfort of your home - Accountability AND Flexibility. The Ultimate weekly program LIVE + recording access gives 24/7 possibility & value!

NO GYM required! Let’s face it - getting out the door to the gym - can be a tough call when you are juggling SO much in your life! BUT putting nourishing movement credit into your longevity bank consistently, is as essential as putting nutritional food into your body daily to live. So much to gain - in mindful movement, joy, connection, strength, mobility, relaxation and community!

While I began APT very much as a interactive human face to face experience and enjoyable personal & friendly relationships, the world has changed dramatically in the past few years and from this arose LIVE online + recordings access. This has enabled many to have new access to wonderful education, methods, mentors, coaches and teachers. To source out that person you can connect with on a deeply authentic and personal level, is very possible via live & interactive online classes.

Since 2021 APT has offered a very 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 any 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. You train from where you are at and build the way you choose from there.
