About Us

At Kids Heart Pilates, we believe that no child should be left behind. Our purpose is to empower children to thrive through joyful, movement-based therapy that builds confidence, regulation, and healthy habits for life.

​

We specialise in delivering engaging, evidence-based programs that support gross motor development, physical literacy, and holistic well-being. Our work spans 1:1 NDIS sessions, group therapy, kindergarten-based programs, and holiday intensives, all delivered from our purpose-built, high-energy clinic and key early learning partnerships.

​

As leaders in paediatric movement therapy, we not only serve our clients,  we also educate, mentor, and collaborate with other allied health providers across the country.
