Life Ready Studio
About Life Ready Studio
Life Ready Studio is an intimate, personal and supportive reformer pilates studio based in Caulfield North, Melbourne.
With only 7 reformers, the client experience feels like a personal session with constant instructor awareness, allowing for necessary adjustments throughout the class. Life Ready Studio was established by Teri, who wanted to create a space where clients could move in a group class but still be seen and adjusted where needed.
Teri thrives on helping and encouraging people to move confidently. She believes that creating a space that challenges clients whilst they move through all stages of life ( Pilates beginner, post injury, antenatal and postnatal as well as advanced Pilates enthusiasts) while feeling fully supported mentally and physically is the key to ultimate wellbeing.
Teri’s main passion is helping mothers and mothers-to-be feel strong and confident in their bodies before and after pregnancy. Having two boys (and a third baby on the way), Teri understands the importance of movement pre- and post-natally to aid the body during pregnancy, for birth, and, most importantly, for recovery. The studio provides support for mums-to-be throughout every trimester, adjusting movement to accommodate the changes in the body. The studio also provides mums and bubs classes so clients can move while having their baby next to them in the pram, on the mat or in the carrier. Each class helps clients regain their strength and confidence, while still allowing them to spend time with their baby and other like-minded mums.

Olive Counselling
Hello, I’m Katrina, the founder of Olive Counselling. I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and a mum of two.
At Olive Counselling, I specialise in perinatal mental health and couples counselling. I work with parents experiencing postnatal depression and anxiety, birth trauma, fertility challenges, grief and loss, identity shifts, and the everyday stresses of parenting. I also support couples to strengthen their relationship during the perinatal period, navigate changes in intimacy, improve communication, and work through conflict with compassion and respect.
My approach blends evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Circle of Security, mindfulness, and somatic practices. This allows me to tailor sessions to your unique needs whether you’re looking for gentle emotional support, practical coping strategies, or deeper trauma processing.
I understand that becoming a mother can be overwhelming. You may be navigating sleepless nights, big emotions, changes in your relationship, and a sense of losing the “old you.” Whether you’re seeking a safe place to process your feelings, practical parenting tools, or ways to reconnect with your partner, you’ll find understanding and guidance here.
At Olive Counselling, my hope is that you feel truly seen, supported, and understood, not just as a mum but as your unique self! Together, we can gently work through the challenges, strengthen your relationships, and help you find a sense of calm, connection, and confidence in this chapter of life.

This is truly special to witness; it's a real privilege. As I’m within the sanctuary of the family's home for up to 4 weeks, you subtly and gratefully become part of the furniture, quietly and respectfully. So as the days pass through this ancient lineage of care, you see things shift physically, which is pure biology to me, but also her smile changes as you walk through the door, her eyes are more vibrant and her skin colour changes
