Episode Show Notes
Welcome to the first episode of this special short season of The Pilates Diaries Podcast created to support and promote the rebuilding of the business of industry colleague and long term Pilates teacher, Kimberley Garlick. Kimberley’s studio business, Northern Rivers Pilates in Lismore was completely submerged in the devastating floods that tore through the region in February and March earlier this year. In pursuit of getting their business back on its feet, Kimberley has reached out to her extensive industry network and along with studio manager and daughter, Madison have created the Teach to Preach Retreat that will run at their studio in Lismore, November 4th to 6th this year. They’ve created an exciting lineup of presenters so on this episode, Kimberley and Maddi will take us through the impact of the floods in the Northern Rivers region and the details of the Teach to Preach Retreat. We also have planned short episodes for the remainder of this podcast season, where we’ll have each of the presenters detailing their Retreat topics.
The mission of this podcast is to share the stories of the impact of Pilates to help you live and move with more joy, physical vitality, and renewed vigor.
Pilates was a somewhat unknown word until it started creeping into conversation somewhere around the 2000s- maybe even before then depending on who you asked and amongst which circles, and has largely remained and enigma for many reasons- one of which perhaps is that Pilates really has to be experienced to be understood.
There are now a wide range of Pilates styles available when you attend a Pilates class, perhaps borne from the variation of interpretations of how Pilates was originally taught by its founder, Joseph Pilates.
With The Pilates Diaries Podcast we’re inviting Pilates enthusiasts around the globe to share with us what they’ve noted down in their Pilates Diary. Our hope is that the Pilates Diaries Podcast goes some way to answering the question ” What is it that makes Pilates so special?”
We’ll take a privileged peek into the Pilates Diaries of our guests to gain a greater insight into the impact Pilates can have in all of our lives and contribute to the health and wellbeing of the community at large.
I welcome you along for the journey and welcome your comments and discussions through the links found on your favorite podcast platform. Enjoy.

Hi, I’m Bruce Hildebrand and this is The Pilates Diaries Podcast.
The mission of this podcast is to share the stories of the impact of Pilates. We’re inviting Pilates enthusiasts to share with us the notes they’ve taken down in their Pilates journey as we seek out the answers to the intrigue Pilates has been able to ignite inside millions all over the world. Our hope is that The Pilates Diaries Podcast goes some way to answering the question ” What is it that makes Pilates so special?”
Welcome to the first episode of this special short season of The Pilates Diaries Podcast created to support and promote the rebuilding of the business of industry colleague and long term Pilates teacher, Kimberley Garlick. Kimberley’s studio business, Northern Rivers Pilates in Lismore was completely submerged in the devastating floods that tore through the region in February and March earlier this year. In pursuit of getting their business back on its feet, Kimberley has reached out to her extensive industry network and along with studio manager and daughter, Madison have created the Teach to Preach Retreat that will run at their studio in Lismore, November 4th to 6th this year. They’ve created an exciting lineup of presenters so on this episode, Kimberley and Maddi will take us through the impact of the floods in the Northern Rivers region and the details of the Teach to Preach Retreat. We also have planned short episodes for the remainder of this podcast season, where we’ll have each of the presenters detailing their Retreat topics.
Kimberley and Maddi, welcome to the show.
Maddi Garlick: Thank you for having me.
Kimberley Garlick: Hi Bruce. it’s good to be back and we’re very excited about our Retreat that’s coming up.
Bruce Hildebrand: Maddi, can you tell us about the impact and the local experience for you in Lismore? I can only imagine that it must have been a devastating time for the whole region.
Maddi Garlick: For sure. We’ve had floods before in Lismore, and everyone was quite prepared, but nobody knew the extent of this flood. When it was happening, everyone was quite shocked with how high it was going through the town. Our studio is in that main street of Lismore in Keen Street and that’s one of the first streets of the CBD that go under. So watching the water rise while being at home safe and dry you feel a bit hopeless. We had a massive flood in 2017 which reached 11.6 meters and the one that just happened in February managed to get to 14.9 meters so a lot of businesses went under, hundreds and hundreds of houses went under losing all belongings, lots of stock- it was pretty traumatic for a lot of people, a lot of people were stuck on their houses. And SES and the police were to the brim with calls so civilians got in their boats, got on their inflatables and tried to help people. It was pretty scary and felt very helpless sitting at home but the community is amazing in Lismore and the help and the donations of the town have started to lift everyone back up. It still looks like a ghost town and only a very small percent of businesses are open. It’s very traumatic and I think when it rains, people have a bit of PTSD from what they experienced with their houses going under and them stuck on their roofs calling for help – people were even stuck up there for days waiting for the SES. The aftermath of the flood led us as a studio to help a lot of our clients that have lost their homes. We did some fundraising and managed to raise $34,000 within our Pilates community. We divvied that up between six families from our studio who had lost their homes and lost a lot of their businesses- not that amount of money got them back up on their feet- but they were able to buy toothpaste and socks and boots and that very minor stuff that you take for granted when you’re living at home with everything.
That led us to be able to help them pay for bills and rego and stuff like that, that keep coming when they’re still dealing with that traumatic thing that’s happening in their life. So that was amazing the amount of contributions we had to that fundraising and I think they’re very grateful for that donation in a pretty hectic time in their lives.
Bruce Hildebrand: Thanks, Maddy. Kimberly, could you give us a rundown on the impact in the studio? I understand the flood heights hadn’t been there since 1974 and the studio was completely submerged, three plus meters higher than anything on record.
Kimberley Garlick: Yeah, on the Friday we’re getting the warnings that this could be a flood. We went in on the Saturday morning and cleared everything out- it was all hands on deck, we had a decent flood plan and we put that into action- sandbagged our entire studio, moved all of the equipment to a warehouse that has never flooded before and where we live, once it floods, we can’t get back into town so we were getting very prepared for the fact that we wouldn’t be able to return into town. Watching it all unfold it was pretty clear that the entire studio would go under, but we still felt safe that our equipment would be fine. Unfortunately, over the couple of days, the entire warehouse that we put our equipment also went under. Once the water receeded everybody was hands on deck assessing the damage, which was quite devastating. But when you look around and you realize that it’s not where we live, we were able to put our first thoughts into those that lost their homes as Madison was talking about. We were cleaning out the studio and then we had the second flood! We’d cleaned all the mud out, we’d got that pretty much ready to start thinking about what the next process would be, then we got the second flood and it was therefore clearing all the mud and cleaning up all over again. That was a dampener in the spirits for the town- but good news is spirits in the town have lifted and everybody’s on that plan to rebuild. We were fortunate- we are about 20 minutes out of Lismore the house is up nice and high, so was fine and we were able to focus on rebuilding the business- so we were fortunate.
Bruce Hildebrand: Maddi, can you take us through where the studio is currently at with its rebuilding, and what the rebuilding has taken? You’ve been working tirelessly no doubt!
Maddi Garlick: With the rebuild, we had to gut out the whole building, as it had been submerged in water! Mold and all the insulation that needed to come out of the walls. We pulled the floors up, we took the roof off and now we just have these exposed beams in the studio. We have chosen all waterproof equipment- the sheeting of the walls and the floor that’s just all waterproof paint so when it floods again, because Lismore is in the basin we will just pull the walls off hose them off dry them, and re-stick them back to the wall making it a super easy process for us to move everything out when we need to so it’s easier for us to recover next time.
Bruce Hildebrand: Tell us more about the likelihood for the floods to be coming through- is there any projections or forecast based on the experts on what they predict Maddi?
Maddi Garlick: Not any time soon, I hope! For Lismore, our last major one was in 2017 and then we got another one this year. So every couple of years there is that system that comes over the Northern Rivers. There are a lot of waterways that come into Richmond River and the Wilson River that is the circumference around Lismore so it will happen again and I think the whole community now will just be more prepared for a bigger flood.
Bruce Hildebrand: Kimberly, there’s been a lot of recovery, throughout the region, but in regard to your Pilates involvement, can you tell us how you’ve been able to get back on your feet and make some valuable contributions to the industry and ultimately get Northern Rivers Pilates back up and running.
Kimberley Garlick: Once we realize getting the studio back up and running would take quite some time. I reached out to the Pilates community on who may like some guest teaching and workshops and got a great response to that so I moved down to Sydney and was working out of the Polestar headquarters with Cat Giannitto. Then I went to Singapore working with Focus Movement Pilates with Daniel over there for eight weeks. Then I came home for a brief visit then I went to Melbourne and now in Sydney as we currently speak still working and Madison has been working on the Retreat. This is how it all came about because as I have been travelling, I really noticed that need because of COVID everyone is craving more information, more personal contact and my sessions were completely full of people wanting to learn. That’s how our Retreat process began because I was like, would people be interested in doing this? And hands went up pretty quickly! People were like, we’ll come and support the community, we’ll come up to Lismore, that way we can get people from Lismore involved and these amazing practitioners who can come up and join us and share knowledge both from an intellectual point of view, but also in a movement category.
Bruce Hildebrand: Kimberley, no doubt at the heart of putting this retreat together, there was something that always is present for you as a long term Pilates teacher, that conferences are just this crucial part of your development and learning and inspiration on an ongoing basis. Can you share a story with us about a specific time at a conference that you were like, wow, I just want to continue to make this a huge part of what I contribute to and participate in the Pilates industry?
Kimberley Garlick: I think it was the first Polestar conference held here in Australia- I’ll never forget it because Brent Anderson was talking and I would say nearly every day it resonates with me personally and I share this with many students and clients- ” leave your ego at the door!” Those words come from Brent Anderson and just about everybody who has met me has heard me say that. It is so simple like one of those golden oldies that will stick with me forever. I think every single presenter that I’ve ever come across has left a mark on me. Everything from how I tactile right through to communication, to my repertoire and without us even realizing it, we sometimes think we’ve created something brand new, but a little bit of everybody comes into our teaching and that’s how you develop.
Bruce Hildebrand: Maddi before we launch into the list of people who’ve put their hand up to come along- you’ve been around Pilates majority of your life, with your mother being involved with Pilates and following on with training up through the Pilates ranks and now as Studio Manager- can you give us a rundown on that involvement and that history for yourself?
Maddi Garlick: I think the first conscious memory of being in a studio was after school being in mum’s Pilates Mat classes around the Northern beaches and my Nan as well- they used to go to the community halls and I remember pulling up a mat next to them and doing the class. Then I was doing lots of the manuals- being model in the manuals. Started doing Pilates for myself when I was dancing from maybe 10 to 12 all the way up until I was 17- that’s when I was realizing how cool Pilates was for my body and for my dancing and for my flexibility. Then I did work experience with mum and loved it and then studied my Mat course in 2016 in Brisbane and my full diploma with Polestar in 2017. Then managed to work on the Gold Coast with some really amazing studios- Recover Wellbeing, Pure Pilates, and the Wellness Boutique- teaching all different classes from Reformer to Rehab and Studio and a lot of zoom classes with COVID. And then moved back home, started working at Northern Rivers Pilates. I did two years of Osteopathy at Southern Cross Uni then fell pregnant with my daughter and had her and put uni on defer, and now I am Studio Manager at Northern Rivers Pilates and rebuilding the studio.
Bruce Hildebrand: For those who may have listened into Kimberley’s previous edition of the Pilates Diaries Podcast Kimberley detailed having a very proactive and fit mother herself – and now it’s third generation Maddi, that you’re continuing the tradition and progressing up through the ranks with your Pilates experience.
Kimberley Garlick: Madison was fortunate because she used to come to the conferences and be able to volunteer so she’s got to travel the world with me to all these different conferences and through osmosis kept learning little bits along the way- I think the first conference you got to come along Maddi you were about 14 years old.
Maddi Garlick: San Diego was my first one.
Kimberley Garlick: Yep.
Bruce Hildebrand: It’s a great story to hear the background of and it certainly ties in with generational journey that your family has taken Kimberley and it certainly fits in with the Pilates Diaries Podcast seeing how those stories come together.
Maddi can you expand on the Teach to Preach Retreat, about the formulation of the name in the first instance and what the objective of the Retreat is the obvious thing being as a fundraiser for the flood recoveries, but also a great way to connect the community and professional development for Pilates teachers.
Maddi Garlick: Through the flood recovery, the Pilates community helped us so much in donating equipment. Susan from the Body Refinery set up a GoFundMe page for us to be able to purchase pretty much a whole new studio of equipment. So we thought getting everyone together and bouncing ideas and thriving off each other and learning was such a cool way to bring everyone together. The Teach to Preach name came to me because I’ve always been a believer of “preach what you teach” and always done my own personal practice. Having that practice in your body you’re able to give your client a whole other dynamic of learning, because you’ve been able to feel it in your body you know what you’re looking for and then you’re able to give that to your client. I think as instructors, we need to be able to preach what we believe in. This retreat, with the amazing names that we have presenting, the participants of this retreat are going to go home and preach everything they’ve learned. That’s our aim is for them to take so much out of our retreat and give it to their clients.
Bruce Hildebrand: So Maddi can you take us through the list of presenters? Keen to here and broadcast that in the lead up to the event for November.
Maddi Garlick: We’ve got such an awesome lineup of people coming to our Retreat- a few international names coming over to Lismore, which is amazing! Daniel Dittmar from Focus Movement in Singapore is coming doing a lecture on unraveling the thoracic spine and an animal flow workshop. He will be coming with his partner Julie Park who will be teaching one of the Reformer flow classes.
We then have another lecturer Tessa Gillespie coming from the Gold Coast. She is a breath focused Physiotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist her passion for all things breath is amazing and listening to her talk is incredible. She’ll be doing a lecture on the nervous system regulation approach to breathing retraining. As a Pilates instructor, we’re constantly queuing breath, teaching our clients about breath so this is going to be incredible.
We then have the beautiful Kat Ma who is a Polestar educator, also a Exercise Physiologist. She will be talking about her experience sharing her story for the first time of her recovery from Guillain Barre , which left her in a coma. She used the Pilates principles to help her get back to being able to move again.
We have Luisa Saiter Lins from Sydney. She is the owner of Plank Pilates, doing a movement workshop on how to keep the flow without compromising the form and also a Mat class called “Looping around the Mat” which will be using the loop bands in a creative Mat flow.
We have Heather Roudenko who is a instructor on the Gold Coast, she will be doing a Mat class Pilates for Sixties Plus- giving us lots of tips and tools for teaching the elderly as she is a fitness and health enthusiast herself.
Cat Giannitto is the director of Polestar Pilates in Sydney and she will take a Reformer workshop about creating sequences with a flow in the Reformer group setting. She’ll be all about using the springs and the boxes so you have less changes throughout your session- giving heaps of modifications for all different levels.
We then have Daniel Vladeta he is the founder of the Oov.
Bruce Hildebrand: Kimberley, you’ve used the Oov for many years. Can you give us a quick rundown on the magic that the Oov’s able to bring to the Pilates repertoire?
Kimberley Garlick: Yeah, anybody who does class with me knows how much I love the Oov- which stands for “Out of vocabulary”. It’s a three dimensional piece of equipment and it challenges you in all three planes giving constant feedback for the client to be able to absorb the information a lot clearer. So it can take some of our vocabulary away and make it more kinesthetically felt through the body.
Maddi Garlick: So Daniel will be doing a workshop on the Balansit their newest piece of equipment and be talking all things pelvis like SIJ, pubic symphysis, pelvic tissues, and the orientation of the acetabular affecting hip function. It will be so amazing
We then have you, Bruce, doing a workshop on the Somatics of the Oblique Fascial Lines.
Bruce Hildebrand: It’s going to be a privilege coming up and presenting at the Retreat. The oblique slings such a crucial part of functional movement in the rotational sense, of course. Connecting the body awareness of what these myofascial slings are through our body and building exercise repertoire around that awareness and how much it can transform not only range of movement, but your control and strength through those ranges as well.
Maddi Garlick: I can’t wait for that one. We then also have myself who would be taking a Reformer Flow called “Pilates for the Soul” and we’ll be diving into all the neural outlets through the movement also using the assistance of the Reformer and the straps to find some neural tension release stretches.
Our lovely Christian and Kevin, who are the massage therapists at our studio, are doing an amazing workshop called Fascia Pilates. They’ll be doing a Pilates in pairs Reformer workshop, using muscular and connective tissue massage and tactile techniques to assist in reducing lower back pain and neural pain.
We have Danni Gillham a senior pelvic health Physiotherapist and the owner and founder of the Wellness Boutique on the Gold Coast. She will be doing a lecture on Supporting the Postpartum Woman talking all things DRAM research, pelvic health, pelvic floor health, giving us tools on supporting postpartum.
Last, but not least, we have the owner of Northern Rivers Pilates, and my mother, taking us through two workshops at the retreat. Mum, did you want to explain about them?
Kimberley Garlick: Sure! I’m doing ” A Barrel of Fun” because I feel that The Barrel is so underutilized! With all the different studios that I’ve been at- I’ve been involving the trap table and the chair with the barrel, rather than the barrel just being left in that part of the studio!
My other workshop is The Dancing Gymnast” workshop and it’s creative repertoire on all pieces of equipment designed to enhance their turnout, flexibility and strength. Even though it’s for dancers and gymnasts, there’s a little bit of us that all want to be a dancer and a gymnast, so it can be utilized for everybody.
Bruce Hildebrand: Sounds great. Kimberley, I’m looking forward to attending for sure.
Maddi Garlick: So that is our amazing lineup for the retreat. We are running over three days starting at 7:30am, finishing at 6:30pm- three massive days of learning!
Bruce Hildebrand: Maddi I understand uptake of the face to face capacity was snapped up within a couple of weeks of the registration’s opening and you’ve had to do the COVID scenario of pivoting and offering an online option- can you take us through the registration process for interested people on the podcast to sign up for participation in this wonderful retreat?
Maddi Garlick: You can contact us through all of our social medias, or send an email which you can find on our website.
Bruce Hildebrand: We’ll drop all the links for that in the show notes of this episode and I encourage you of course listening into the podcast to get along the great capacity of having online access to these sort of events certainly accelerates your learning and, some of the topics that Maddi’s taken us through are very inspiring and take your teaching to the next level, incorporating and broadening your expanse of being able to apply the Pilates Method in many different settings.
Kimberly, I’m sure there’s a million people you’d love to thank in the lead up to this event. Can you run us through the key people who’ve been contributing to bringing this whole Teach to Preach Retreat together, coming up in November.
Kimberley Garlick: Yes, Bruce, their are many people who are contributing to this event, being able to happen. First of all Maddi putting it all together. Adam my husband, he has been a massive contribution to the rebuild- the building, the premises. And everyone stepping up and offering their amazing intellectual contribution and time, I will be forever grateful for our Pilates community.
Then we also have Daniel Vladeta- he donated all the Oovs to our studio, which is just completely amazing. And then some of the locals who are donating kombucha for everybody when they arrive Lovemore Fermentary. Cat Giannitto from Polestar has been promoting us and Pilates Alliance for volunteering to assist in getting accreditation points for everybody that attends. I feel like a giant hug is coming from everyone in the Pilates community for us to step up. I feel extremely blessed to be a part of such a phenomenal industry.
Bruce Hildebrand: I agree, Kimberley- it is a phenomenal community to be part of and in instances like this, where there has been a lot that various members of the Pilates Alliance and the Pilates community at large have been through, it’s great to see those communities reach out and provide the support that gets you back on your feet after you’ve been through such a tough period.
Kimberley Garlick: Yep. Forever grateful.
Bruce Hildebrand: And we’ve got some other episodes coming up in this little series of the Pilates Diaries Podcast, Kimberly, do you want to give us a quick taster on what we’re looking to roll out to listeners of The Pilates Diaries Podcast.
Kimberley Garlick: Yeah, it’s gonna be a nice platform for our presenters to not only introduce what they’re doing at the retreat, but also to understand that there is all these modalities out there that contribute to our Pilates philosophy. Not only the Pilates community as one entity, but there are so many different modalities that are coming together to conglomerate all of our information and enhance our teaching. You and I are going to chat to our presenters and they’re going to tell their story and why they’ve chosen to do that specific presentation for us at this retreat. I’m excited to hear what they’ve got to say both on your podcast and when they’re at the Retreat, I can’t wait!
Bruce Hildebrand: It’s no surprise to anyone that Kimberly’s passion for the Pilates industry is so huge that it’s such a pleasure to hear Kimberley speak like this. So yes, we will be diving into those specific topics, certainly along the lines of what the Pilate’s diary podcast stands for and that’s why I think it’s such a good partnership to run with Northern Rivers Pilates, for this Teach to Preach Retreat coming up in November. Kimberley, we look forward to those follow up interviews with the presenters at the Retreat and chatting with you further as always it’s a pleasure.
Kimberley Garlick: Thanks Bruce.
Bruce Hildebrand: And thanks Maddi for taking us through the detail with each of the presenters coming onto the retreat. Well done for all the hard work – for anyone who’s gone through that process of putting even a little event together, not nearly the size of this one, we’re all aware that it’s a huge project so well done, I’m sure there’s going to be a huge amount of appreciation from each of the participants coming on to the Retreat, both in person and online. So take up the opportunity and reach out to Northern Rivers Pilates for booking one of the online spots.
Maddi Garlick: Bruce, just one thing that I would like to say to all those people that are thinking about coming online- I think being in that atmosphere of like-minded people learning and experiencing that same passion that you all share is something that’s so incredible. Having conversations with people who share your values in the way that you teach, the way that you learn, it’s pretty incredible and I can’t wait for people to experience that at our retreat in Lismore!
I just remember sitting at the back, in San Diego and mum was teaching a presentation on personalities and that has impacted the way that I teach and that my clients gain from me as an instructor- I hope that everyone at the retreat in Lismore can find a snippet of that.
Bruce Hildebrand: Thanks for your time on the call Maddi and Kimberley. We’ll look forward to following up with interviews with each of the presenters on their specific topics in the lead up to the Retreat and we’ll see you next time on The Pilates Diaries Podcast.
Kimberley Garlick: Thank you
Maddi Garlick: Thanks Bruce.
