Our Story

Tina & Billy (dog) Milne opened Studio Lifewave in Pialba in early 2022, after many years in their home Mat-work and Massage studio (previously My Me Time Massage & Pilates) in Point Vernon. Tina's love of Pilates had grown and she undertook further study to become a qualified Reformer Pilates Teacher. The opportunity to offer Mat-work and Reformer classes in a larger studio presented itself, and Studio Lifewave was born!

Within 9 months Tina made the decision to focus solely on Pilates and stop offering massages.

Meet The Studio Team

Billy & Tina

Owner and Pilates Teacher, Tina discovered Pilates whilst offering massage services.

She was frustrated with not being able to find the "right fitness class" in Hervey Bay so trained to become a Pilates Teacher.

Her love of Pilates continues to grow and she is constantly looking for new exercises and ways to mix up the classes for her clients.

Tina's hands on approach is unique. She will make sure you are in the right position and using the right techniques before moving onto another exercise. Watching her beloved clients become stronger and healthier every day is what keeps Tina motivated.

Billy is never far from Tina's side. He can often be found in his bed by the door but will usually give you a quick hello before drifting back off to sleep.

Rhi

Rhi, is a Clinical Nutritionist, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Mat & Reformer Pilates Teacher, and a 500HR Yoga Teacher with 9 years experience.

Her perpetual curiosity, and love of sharing knowledge, has put her on a never-ending journey to learn and understand how our bodies work and how we can best serve them. This led her to Tina and The Pilates Method.

Rhi was ecstatic about joining the team in 2023, as she loves to inspire healthful change. Rhi enjoys getting people out of their comfort zone, helping them explore unfamiliar terrain with kindness and compassion.

Rhian Payne

I had a wonderful 1:1 Private session with Tina.

Tina took the time to explain and demonstrate each part of the move before I began, and would help talk me through which areas needed to remain active when my form slipped.

I never felt overwhelmed or unable to participate.

I plan to attend more classes again and look forward to building my skills.

Thank you for an amazing intro to pilates!
