My Partnerships
My work is grounded in strong collaborations with leading organizations in the Pilates and movement industry, reflecting a shared commitment to innovation, integrity, and the ongoing evolution of movement education.
Balanced Body Inc.
Balanced Body®, celebrating more than 50 years of innovation, is the world’s largest manufacturer of Pilates equipment and a leading force in internationally recognized Pilates education.

Through LaBriece® Movement Education [LB Pilates Studios GmbH], the Authorized Training Center for Balanced Body Education in Switzerland, I contribute to Balanced Body’s global education initiatives ranging from instructor training and international presentations to serving as a model for updated educational manuals that promote greater inclusivity within the Pilates industry.
Medidor AG
Medidor AG is a Swiss company based in Zurich and a trusted partner for therapy, health and movement. As the official distributor of Balanced Body equipment in Switzerland they support Pilates studios, physical therapy clinics and movement professionals across the country. Through our official partnership I collaborate with the Medidor team on educational initiatives, industry events and specialized equipment consultations, supporting studios and physiotherapy centers in gaining a deeper understanding of the Balanced Body apparatus, an area that also inspired the development of the LB Guides®.
Pilates.ch
Pilates.ch is the consumer-focused division of Medidor AG dedicated to supporting individuals who wish to bring Pilates into their own homes. Through this platform Pilates enthusiasts can access high-quality equipment and resources designed for personal practice and well-being. Our collaboration connects this growing community with professional Pilates education, creating a natural bridge for those who wish to deepen their practice or take the next step toward instructor training.

Sissel / Novacare / Pilates.de serves as the German distributor for Balanced Body equipment and plays an important role within the European Pilates network. Through our collaboration we are helping expand Balanced Body Education across the German-speaking world, including the launch of instructor training intensives and partnerships with studios committed to excellence in Pilates education.
Youpila

With a strong commitment to quality teaching and thoughtful client care the organization has established itself as a respected presence within the German movement community. Our collaboration centers around shared values in movement education and professional development, including hosting portions of my LB Guides® workshops and supporting the continued growth of high-quality instructor training.
Konnect® Method
The Konnect® Method is an innovative system that expands the traditional rope and pulley design of Balanced Body Reformers and opens new possibilities for coordination, strength and integrated movement. As part of my commitment to progressive movement education my Reformers are equipped with the Konnector® Reformer patented system that enables independent and simultaneous movement of both arms and legs with its single-rope pulley system with attachment points for all four limbs. I have completed the certification training with the method’s creator, Viktor Uygan, to integrate this approach into my in-studio personal training and small group teaching.

For many years, my son Alexander has been a trusted source of technical support and collaboration behind the scenes. He has contributed as a Pilates model together with his dad, assisted with countless technical challenges, and teaches physics of the Reformer in some of my continuing education workshops and instructor training courses—work that was pivotal in the creation of the physics section of the LB Guides® manual. Today he works as a mechanical engineer near Zurich. I am deeply grateful for his patience, encouragement, and the many ways he has supported me over the years.
