A Life in
Movement

Meet Eve

Eve Ward has been teaching Pilates for over fifteen years, and is a Principal APEI Mentor and Teacher Trainer for Victoria. Growing up in Québec City, Canada, Eve developed a strong connection to movement through skiing and dance. As a ski instructor, she learned to observe bodies in motion and refine technique, skills that form the basis of her teaching technique today.

Whilst Eve was training at a professional dance school in Simonson-style Jazz and Graham modern dance, she first discovered Pilates, and so her love for it was born. That's where her journey began, with the Hundred and the mat work, long before she understood how deeply this method would shape her life.

Eve's early connection to Pilates would eventually become her profession. After a career in tourism and hospitality, Eve moved to Melbourne in 2007. It was here that she formalised her training, and today holds certifications across classical Pilates, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation and foot posture work.

Over the years, Eve's love for learning and deepening her practice would take her overseas. Alongside her formal training, she has studied and attended conferences in Morocco and Italy, and teaches professional workshops for instructors looking to broaden their knowledge and form. Eve has learned that progress isn't about perfection. It's about consistency, awareness, and the willingness to improve.

Today, Eve owns ME Pilates Studio in Bentleigh and is an active mum of two. Her sessions offer more than a workout; people come to Eve to understand their body, move with purpose, and to build strength that stays with them throughout their life. Whether you're returning from injury, looking to improve your movement, building strength and performance for sport, or wanting to stay strong and independent as you age. Eve will guide you with clarity, precision and care.

Pilates is a system that builds strength, resilience and confidence over time, so you can keep doing what you love, for longer.

"I love sharing what I know, and I never stop learning. Pilates isn't just my work, it's something I live."

What Our Clients Say

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Eve at Me Pilates. She is a true master of Pilates, with an extraordinary knowledge of the body and movement, but it’s her passion for what she does and the care she brings to every class that makes such a difference. Going to Eve each week has become something I genuinely look forward to — and if I could fit in more, I absolutely would! She has helped me achieve things I honestly never thought I would be able to do, and movements that once seemed completely out of reach are now part of my practice. Eve is also a wonderful teacher and motivator. She knows when to challenge you, when to encourage you and how to help you understand what your body is capable of. Her workshops are fantastic too, and I always come away having learnt something new. I couldn’t recommend Eve and Me Pilates more highly. If you have the opportunity to take a class or join one of her workshops, do it. You’ll be in very good hands.
