Loved how Clarice’s instructions were so clear and easy to follow! They allowed me to better connect with and engage my core, which I’ve had immense difficulty doing so in regular classes. Also really appreciated how simple, yet effective, the drills were, I could easily implement them into my routine!

After taking Clarice’s class, the most unbelievable and amazing gain was the awareness and relationship I had gained with my body. I no longer fear or hated stretching! Through her teachings, my body awareness increased, allowing me to make the most progress i have ever had comfortably with no injuries. Her teachings go beyond the classroom as I find myself applying them in my pole classes and achieved similar progress! I’m very lucky to be her student as she’s always filled up.

What I love most is that she approaches backbends holistically, making sure we pay attention to not how we look, but how we feel, bringing attention to our breath, and mental state and teaching us it is always ok to listen to our body even if it means bailing out of a move early.

All the drills and prep were good (tiring but necessary) because they helped me to better understand the differences between different types of engagement. Love that it’s also a small group so enough attention can be devoted to each student. This also meant that each student might do a slightly different variation of a particular drill due to differences in their bodies which was great.

I take both backbends and splits classes with Clarice. I appreciate that she doesn’t man-handle me into positions. Every session with her felt safe and productive. She focuses a lot of getting the right balance of strength and range which is very complementary to the work I do in Pole. Her methods are very sound and she explains in details as to why she would do certain drills with you but not with others. Overall, sessions are very enjoyable, and if you’re into research and info you will love nerding out with her.

I have taken 2 terms of contortion with Clarice. She's extremely passionate about her work and her students, and is willing to share and impart knowledge whilst always being open to learning more and understanding each individual issue. Her cues and adjustments have always been spot on for me, and I love that she gives awareness and safety top priority in all her sessions.

Wonderful contortion coach with deep knowledge & experience of many bodies. She has a gentle touch balanced with tangible enthusiasm & love.

I've been intimated to try contortion for the longest time, and Clarice made my journey so enjoyable and fulfilling. She's one of the most supportive teachers I've had in my fitness journey, and I truly learnt to focus on my inner strength, stability, and progress instead of dwelling into certain shapes and ranges. Thanks to Clarice I know I can enjoy contortion long term.

I used to have chronic neck flares and sharp lower back pain after an injury. At my worst state, I was seeing my physio every week. Decided to seek Clarice’s help to help break this cycle. Clarice rehab session are really gentle. She assesses my situation at the start of every session and tailor it accordingly. Now I can manage mild to moderate flares on my own - thanks to the methods she taught me. Now I’m a happy pain-free mobile human!

Checking in with each student after each exercise is really helpful to create awareness of before and after doing the exercise and if we are doing it right!
