Introduction
A woman who enjoys taking it easy with gentle stretching exercises from time to time, rather than hitting the gym for weight training or intense workouts. Having dealt with various spinal issues and joint discomfort for many years, but her physiotherapist could not provide much relief until she found Pilates, especially Reformer. Without hesitation, she qualified as a certified instructor, going as far as to blend elements from different Pilates gear to create her unique Reformer — the GM former.
For the past 8 years, Phoebiya has been using Pilates to support not only herself but clients and friends, especially fellow mothers. As a working mom with 2 kids — who understands how hectic parenting can be — she was inspired to integrate Pilates with EMS training for quicker, better results. In addition to finding an exclusive EMS drysuit that provides 12X more efficiency and effectiveness, she came up with all sorts of programmes to help people reach their fitness goals. More importantly, her invention of the PEMF DetoxMat takes conventional Pilates mat exercise and deep stretch to a whole new level, enabling a speedy recovery for those with spine or joint issues. Try any one of her programmes, you will never feel the same again!
