How often, mid-class, do you have to ditch your class plan and start scanning your brain for alternatives because bodies just won’t cooperate?

The knee that “can’t squat”.

The shoulder that pinches no matter how much you strengthen it.

The back pain that’s been hanging around longer than a 90s pop song.

What most instructors don’t realise is this:

those pinches, inhibitions, and “overworking” muscles are rarely

the problem. They’re the symptom of a joint limitation the nervous

system is protecting. The issue is that traditional mobility and strengthening

work doesn’t unlock those limitations. It doesn’t even touch them.

That blind spot is why you keep adapting instead of changing outcomes.

This certification hands you a blueprint to understand why movement is blocked, where the block actually lives, and how to transform it, without changing how you teach. Yes, it’s possible.

That’s why the M.F.A. community calls it the manual for the human body.

This is where awareness becomes skill,

and skill becomes results.

WHAT YOU GET

A roadmap where I’ve done the hard work for you, where I had you the skillset to see beyond muscles and exercises. This is more than just a framework, it’s a guided path that shows you exactly where movement is blocked, how to target and retrain it within your existing class plan. You’ll come to understand why typical mobility exercises can’t unlock a sticky, painful joint, and what actually does.

WHY IT WORKS

This isn’t just another certification; it’s the key that unlocks what you didn’t even know you were missing. Instructors say it’s like gaining a superpower, because suddenly, you see the body’s hidden language with absolute clarity. It works because it doesn’t just add more drills to your toolbox, it rewires how you understand movement, so you can make confident, informed decisions that transform not just how you teach, but how your clients thrive. It’s impactful because it turns the “I didn’t know what I didn’t know” into “I can’t believe I see this so clearly now.”

HOW IT’S DELIVERED

- A 5.5-hour immersive live session (theory and practical), delivered face-to-face or virtually

- Access to an exclusive, pre-programmed graduate library, with a guided roadmap I’ve created to help you integrate this work into your classes, without having to figure it out alone

- Completion of the exam unlocks 30 days of complimentary access to the graduate library

-A thoughtfully crafted manual designed to support clarity and confidence

- Ongoing access to me for support, alongside continued support from the M.F.A. community

Upcoming Seminars

You know that moment in class. Someone’s wrist hurts in a plank, so you drop them onto their forearms?

The exercise still works. The class keeps flowing. You’ve adapted it to the body in front of you, like a good teacher does.

But at some point, the question has to be asked: why wasn’t that wrist able to tolerate the plank in the first place?

And more importantly, do you have the tools to change that, or only to work around it?

We’re not just teaching exercises, we’re shaping a new standard in over 28 countries and counting.

Are you with us?

"Your M.F.A certification should be a requirement for all pilates and fitness professionals alike. Your knowledge, experience, and teaching method makes this course an invaluable tool. You are changing lives with every person who takes your M.F.A course Ava.” In the same way that Japan's doctors prescribe forest bathing for better health, doctors should be prescribing your certification because it's a powerful tool for total wellbeing.”

Mary - Pilates

“Ava, I was already qualified in joint work, but it didn't make sense to me until I took the M.F.A. certification. I had the tools and the education, but M.F.A. gave me the understanding of how the human body works, and how to make informed decisions about what to apply. That's why it feels like we have superpowers now.”

Karyl Truong

“I recently attended Ava’s Joint Mobility Training and it was an exceptional experience. Her engaging, dynamic teaching style made the course both fun and inspiring, while creating a supportive environment where learning felt accessible and motivating. The training was well structured, blending theory with practical application, and Ava encouraged open discussion so questions and insights were always welcomed. She has a rare ability to connect with participants and tailor complex concepts so they’re clear, relevant, and immediately usable. If you’re looking for a course that shifts both how you move and how you think, I can’t recommend this training enough.”

Joni Weeks

“You blew my mind. The impact was immediate. You’re a true pioneer, helping instructors evolve and teach at a higher level. I packed away my anatomy books after this course. We’re ahead of the pack because of the knowledge you shared. It’s no wonder my waitlist is growing every week. The world would be a better pain free place if all instructors did your MFA course!”

Pilates with Susan

“You give instructors the keys to go beyond any modality they teach and truly understand movement! Your certification teaches us things we didn't even know we didn't know! No more sticky joints over here.”

Shaina Falcone Fitness

"You are my Idol. Thank you for being one of those rare people in life who want to share their knowledge and secrets and wisdom and education, to help others. What a treasure you are to all. M.F.A is the missing peace we all need to thrive as teachers, never had happier clients. ”

Robyn - Pilates on Point

“As someone who’s had the privilege of earning the M.F.A certification, I can confidently say her approach goes far beyond exercise. My perspective has completely shifted thanks to her wisdom and depth of knowledge. This change has not only transformed the way I teach, but it's also allowed my students to enjoy classes more, identify their real weaknesses, and walk into every session with greater awareness. I owe this growth to Ava's incredible guidance and expertise forever grateful.”

MP - Pilates

“Avaaaaa!! You're a magician, the way you explained the ranges that are needed for the Teaser...it just clicked. It makes sense why I always get cranky lower back after doing the Teaser. Lord knows l've tried all modifications and it has never really helped! You make sense, you are sensible, funny and easy to understand! Thank you for being such a wonderful caring mentor”

Elise - Pilates & Personal Trainer

“Ava, thank you for making this experience so much fun! I actually freaking learned something so well in two days, that I have already put it into practice. That blew my mind, how the way you presented the information was so clear that I could apply it immediately. This has really been one of the most positive and knowledge filled experiences l've had in a long time. Not only did you inspire me as an instructor but you also inspired me as a person and opened my eyes to look at things in a different way and to ask myself questions and to explore! Love you for that. Thank you so much, your freaking awesome!”

Angie Dalmau - Pilates Teacher

“I knew the course was going to be amazing Ava but my mind was totally blown!! I can't stop thinking about it - I even dreamt about it last night:) How is this not mandatory teaching for all fitness professionals? Mind you, l don't think anyone could teach it like you! You make a complex subject so accessible and deliver it all in such an entertaining way The time flew! Life changing stuff.”

Stay Strong Pilates

Ava's M.F.A course is hands down the best education l've come across! Packed with up-to-date science, it delivers a wealth of information without any fluff. The biomechanics of the joints are explained in such a straightforward and easy-to-understand way. No BS, just practical insights that you can immediately apply. If you're looking to deepen your understanding and improve your and your client's function, this course is a game-changer! Upgrade your toolbox to become a better movement teacher.

Crafted Moves

“This is the key to understanding the past, present, and future of the body.”

Raul - Yoga Teacher

“I went to the M.F.A seminar expecting to learn a few new drills... and left feeling like I'd unlocked a whole new dimension of understanding the body. She explained everything so clearly and practically - no overcomplicated anatomy talk, just straight-up actionable gold. I walked away feeling hopeful and genuinely excited to support my clients in building stronger, more resilient bodies, minus sticky joints.”

Ashley - Groove Pilates

“I first met Ava at the Pilates Expo, where she was presenting a workshop, and I was immediately drawn to her depth of knowledge and passion. Since then, I've attended her free online hip workshop, followed by her shoulder workshop, and most recently her in-person workshop in Sydney. This woman is a true wealth of knowledge deeply caring, funny, incredibly generous, and genuinely dedicated to helping others heal and understand their bodies. My own journey began with a frozen shoulder and nerve pain. After finding little help through Western medicine, I travelled the world searching for holistic answers. It was Ava who finally helped me see what I couldn't see. She guided me to understand and unlock what was hidden. As a Reformer Pilates coach, I now feel more confident and capable of supporting my clients through their own healing journeys and I'm still learning every day. Thank you, Ava, from the bottom of my heart. If you ever get the chance to work with her don't hesitate. It's truly life-changing.”

Karen Davis - Many Sands Pilates

“I completed the Zoom training certification and found Ava to be incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. She explains complex concepts in a way that’s easy to take on board, and the community she’s created makes the learning experience feel supportive rather than overwhelming. I’m not the most tech-savvy, and she was always helpful and responsive when I reached out, despite her hectic schedule.”

Diane - pilates Master Trainer

“6 months ago I went to a workshop at the Pilates Expo run by the incredible Ava, following that workshop I immediately booked in to attend a full day of learning with her because not only was I curious but she is so knowledgeable, so honest and so fun. That day finally came today and for a girl who 3 months ago nearly gave her teaching up due to burnout, is absolutely reinvigorated and excited by what I will be able to deliver to clients in the future. Ava you are the best and thanks for reigniting that flame.”
