Meet Margarida

Her drive for life motivates not only her clients but her colleagues as well, regardless of culture or language. However, Margarida is more than a fitness coach, she is also widely sought for her sports business acumen and highly driven result-oriented leadership abilities. She is passionate about growing the Pilates industry regionally and globally, which lead to the creation of movementbymf Education, a Pilates Training Academy.

Why dedicate a lifetime and career to Movement?

Margarida completed sports university in Portugal and went on to work in various health institutions in Europe, South America, Southeast Asia and Middle East. At the peak of her career, Margarida experienced a life changing health situation. She was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. This meant a major re-think of her life that set her off on a journey to heal not just herself but other cancer survivors. Margarida doesn’t just talk the talk- she walks the walk, literally. Today, Margarida teaches Pilates and Movement pro-bono to cancer survivors and is highly sought by clients to restore movement after debilitating injury and illness. For the past 10 years she has been developing Pilates Teams in High End Health Clubs in Singapore and Saudi Arabia. This experience and knowledge are now available to everyone through movementbymf Certification Programs.

Movement Philosophy

Movement should be a successful experience and an opportunity to learn something new. Strength is nothing without flexibility and mobility. There is no glory in having a great body without the freedom of movement to carry our daily activities. True health and fitness comes from being able to move your body in all range of motion and in all directions, to be quick and reactive when needed, maintaining balance in response to challenges, to keep doing what makes you happy, independent of your age.
