Meet Victoria Gilbert-Smith
Victoria Gilbert-Smith is a Physiotherapist, Sports Podiatrist and highly trained Pilates instructor with over two decades of experience helping people restore movement, strength and confidence in their bodies.
Her approach is shaped not only by extensive professional training, but also by her own personal rehabilitation journey following spinal injury, chronic pain and surgery.
This experience created a deep understanding of both the physical and emotional realities of recovery, and continues to inform the compassionate, personalised care she provides every client.
Victoria is also proud to be affiliated with Romana’s Pilates International (RPI), whose lineage traces directly back to Joseph Pilates himself — preserving the integrity and depth of the original Pilates method.
