Kim Sciuk

Kim was born and raised in Northern Ontario and as far back as she remembers, she always enjoyed physical fitness taking part in ballet, dance and horse back riding.  These activities taught her self discipline and a better sense of concentration.  In 1983, she graduated from Confederation College in Thunder Bay with her certification in the Dental Assisting Program.  Several years later she graduated from the Academy of Esthetics in Sudbury and moved to Whitby Ontario where she owned and operated her Esthetic Salon and also worked as a Dental Assistant.  In 2000, Kim and her family moved to North Bay to enjoy a more simpler life.  This is where she found her passion in Pilates and in 2008 became a Certified Pilates Instructor through Physicalmind Institute of Canada.  Pilates has given her a better awareness of her body, mind and spirit for herself and her clients.  For Kim, the practice of Pilates creates and expression of calmness both physically and mentally through each breathe.
