I’m Ana de Paula, movement specialist!
I specialize in physical rehabilitation treatments to help improve your health and well-being.
It all started in 1999 when I started my studies in Sport Sciences, and soon realized I was born to help people through movement.
After graduating in 2002 I wanted to learn more and I started an international career via Russia, Singapore and the UK, where I graduated as a Master in Biomechanics from Roehampton University, London.
2014 and 2015 – I completed an International Certificate in Pilates and Training in silk suspension from the Pilates Academy International in Brunei Darussalam and Singapore.
2016 – I attended the Neurokinetic Therapy course in London. I was awarded a level 3 pass and supported NKT courses in Scotland. I have continued to do this to the current day as I still give assistance during NKT courses in Brazil.
2018 – After nearly 15 years of international experience, I returned to Brazil and am now co-owner of the ‘Instituto Ciência do Movimento’.
1999 – Started working in fields directly related to physical movement. Started attending the course Sport Sciences at University UNIFIPA (Catanduva/SP).
2014 e 2015 – Completed the International Certificate in Pilates and Training in silk suspension by the Pilates Academy International in Brunei Darussalam and Singapore.
2016 – Introduced to the Neurokinetic Therapy method in London. This was a total inspiration that changed my career path and the way I help my clients. I was awarded a level 3 pass and supported NKT courses in Scotland. I have continued to do this to the current day as I still give assistance during NKT courses in Brazil.
Through this method, I was introduced to Dr. Kathy Dooley, who is a co-creator of ‘Immaculate Dissection’.
In the same year, I started a Master Degree in Biomechanics at the Roehampton University, London.
After nearly 15 years of international experience, I returned to Brazil and am now co-owner of the ‘Instituto Ciência do Movimento’.
Meu objetivo é encorajar as pessoas a serem mais ativas, mas sem as restrições da dor
Eu já trabalhei com muitas pessoas que tiveram uma ampla gama de problemas físicos, incluindo problemas de ombro, coluna e joelho, dores em geral e problemas de controle de peso. Trabalhando com adultos, crianças e adolescentes, eu adquiri uma vasta experiência em Terapia do Movimento. Meu principal objetivo na vida é encorajar as pessoas a serem mais ativas movendo-se mais, mas sem as restrições de dor ou rigidez.

Professional and friendly team!
Ana is a terrific personal trainer, I suffer with two different back problems and sciatic nerve pain down my leg, she was able to train me gently yet effectively for not only back and shoulder rehabilitation but toning, regaining lost exercise régime and structure and got me back to feeling myself again and her training helped to reduce the pain’s in my body. Ana is a really skilled trainer in fitness but also her Pilate’s background is really helpful and corrects posture, she has a very nice calm way about her and just spending an hour with this very special lady you will feel de-stressed and stronger to take on this fast paced world we live in, everyone need’s Ana in their life to help them reach their personal fitness and strength goals.
Ana is a great instructor!
Ana showed me how to use my core, to work on my breathing to strengthen my core, and exercise muscles I hardly used. I’m most impressed with the way she studied my posture and my movements and then delivered an accurate analysis of where my problems were. She devised an exercise program that has helped alleviate my recurring back pain and other associated problems. As a result I have stopped going to physiotherapy on regular basis for a quick fix since I started Pilates with Ana. I can’t thank her enough for her knowledge and insights that makes the sessions with her tremendously effective and enjoyable.
