Leah Bender

Leah earned her BA in Therapeutic Recreation from the University of Waterloo and became a certified Mat Pilates instructor through Body Harmonics in 2017. Since then, she’s completed the Reformer instructor training and obtained certification as a Pre/Postnatal Movement Specialist. Continuing education is very important to Leah, so she stays current and is the best instructor for her clients.

Leah’s goal is to help each client move better and feel stronger each day, so you can enjoy doing the things you love. Leah’s sessions focus on functional movement, proper form, and gradual progress tailored to a client’s individual needs. These sessions are designed to help clients feel supported, encouraged, and confident during their movement sessions. Clients often report feeling more balanced, stronger, and more connected to their bodies after sessions with Leah. 

When Leah’s not teaching, she enjoys spending quality time with her family, exploring the outdoors, traveling, or relaxing with a good cup of tea. Leah is excited to share her love of movement and Pilates with all clients, alongside the Livewell Waterloo team!
