Meet Our Team
"The more we plug into our body and understand our mind... the more we start to see the unlimited potential that lies within us."
​
We upgrade our devices & knowledge in so many different areas...why are we not upgrading our understanding of mind and body in movement and how this relates to our experience of life and wellbeing?
Hi, I'm Jeanne.
Founder & Owner of Think SIlver studio and Pilates & Nia instructor
​
As a movement specialist and Somatic & integral leadership coach, I have married these modalities of mind and body into what we offer at Think Silver studio.
My passion is to not only help your body find agility, strength, resilience and alignment BUT to invite you to move BEYOND movement. The body offers us so much wisdom and it is a portal to accessing more resilience, empathy and understanding of what it means to embody the life we want, as well as living into our inner potential, experience more flow and connectedness in our lives all round and to understand how important our wellbeing is to the world around us.
Moving into a new paradigm of movement and being is to understand what embodiment truly means! And that is what our mission is...to offer you not only fitness
& mindful movement that gives you a WHOLE BODY experience but rather a WHOLE BEING experience!
My background and inspiration of the work I do have been fueled by my multifaceted journey. Starting off as a professional tennis & squash player, to studying Human movement science & psychology (BA) at Stellenbosch University and completing my master in Psychotherapy at Delta state university (USA), after which I completed an array of courses and diplomas in Pilates, Nia, Fascia, Massage, Somatics and Coaching. Marrying these courses with 100s of hours of work with clients through movement and consulting/coaching I continue to learn and be inspired by life and the journey with each client, as well as my own body and self.
My overriding vision and mission is to touch your life, expand your experience of your body and being not only because I understand this as WELLNESS but because what I bring you has touched my life in such a positive and meaningful way.
Hi, I'm Gemma
Pilates Instructor
Despite being an athletic child and staying active as an adult, I always struggled with my posture, flexibility, and a weak core. My journey with Pilates began roughly two decades ago when I was searching for a safe workout during my pregnancy—and I was hooked!
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to learn from passionate, knowledgeable instructors who deepened my love for the practice. What started as a personal quest for better health has evolved into a true passion, and I’m thrilled to now share this transformative practice with others.
​
I love being a part of the Somerset West community, where there are endless opportunities to connect and give back—whether it’s working with local charities, participating in sporting events, enjoying nature, or having a chat with the owner of the local coffee shop. This town thrives on its community spirit, and I am committed to being an active and engaged member of it.
​
As a STOTT Pilates-trained Mat and Reformer instructor with a keen interest in injury rehabilitation, I am dedicated to helping others build strength, mobility, and confidence in their bodies.
​
Joseph Pilates said, “Change happens through movement, and movement heals.” This quote embodies my philosophy. Pilates is more than just an exercise routine—it is a philosophy. It’s about cultivating a deeper connection with your body and mind, and while it’s a personal practice, you don’t have to walk the path alone.

Join me in discovering how Pilates can enhance your life both on and off the mat!
