Andrea Kempthorne

Andrea has lived in various places around New Zealand and overseas, but she is originally from right here in Christchurch. Andrea graduated from Otago University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, which led her to work around the South Island, Australia and the United Kingdom in various hospitals. She then took a break from physio while she had her children. During this time she was also moving around the world whilst her husband completed his training. 
 

Andrea has a history of lower back pain, and in her late thirties she began doing Pilates as a way to not only help this but also to improve her movement and overall wellbeing. She quickly fell in love with Pilates and decided to partake in formal training. She then completed her Polestar comprehensive training in 2019 and began teaching that same year. 

Andrea loves to teach classes of all levels. Andrea believes that Pilates can benefit everybody and anybody. Andrea firmly believes Pilates is the key to regaining mobility, strength, connection, function and confidence in your body. She also has experience in rehabilitating people post-surgery, and assisting those with chronic conditions. From her experience in various hospitals early-on in her career, she has a extensive knowledge of pathology and anatomy. On top of her scheduled group classes, Andrea teaches one-on-one sessions which are personalised to fit your specific needs and goals.

Outside of Pilates, Andrea loves spending time with her family and dogs, supporting her children in their various interests, gardening, going to the gym and spending time with her friends.
