Sandy Thefs

Sandy brings a fresh perspective and deep personal connection to her role as a Reformer Pilates teacher at bounceREHAB. After a successful three-decade career in the leisure and entertainment industry, Sandy’s passion for health, wellbeing and movement led her to pursue formal Pilates training through Barre Body, where she completed her Reformer Pilates certification.

Her journey with bounceREHAB began not as a practitioner, but as a patient – seeking treatment for persistent hip pain. Through a personalised rehabilitation program that incorporated Pilates, she experienced firsthand the transformative power of movement in healing and strengthening the body. Inspired by this journey and mentored by bounceREHAB’s Principal Teacher, Kathryn Edwards, Sandy transitioned from client to teacher with a desire to help others experience the benefits.

Known for her empathetic approach, Sandy is passionate about helping clients build strength, mobility and confidence in their bodies – especially those navigating injury or physical limitations. She brings warmth, professionalism and a genuine love of movement to every class.

Sandy doesn’t take herself too seriously and loves having a laugh with clients along the way. Outside the studio, she’s a keen hiker with a growing desire to explore multi-day hikes, always on the lookout for inspiration for her next trip.  She’s sometimes accompanied by her husband and son but more often than not sets off alone and enjoys the experience of meeting like minded people on her travels.
