Hey there, fabulous humans! The name's Anika. Movement has always been a huge part of my life having started dancing from a very young age & eventually completing a Bachelor of Arts in Dance at WAAPA.

At the same time, I love to challenge clients both physically & mentally, so you can be rest assured you’ll feel muscles you didn’t know you had & walk out feeling stronger. Can’t wait to laugh & burn with you!
