My daughter and I had the pleasure of being Rafaella’s clients while visiting Cabarete. Rafaella is very passionate about Pilates and worked with my daughter and I who came to her with varying levels of experience in Pilates, looking for help to strengthen our bodies after a series of accidents left us with multiple injuries. She was able to tailor a program to our needs, working diligently to pay attention to our form, and aided us not only with rehabilitation but also with overall health and wellness. We truly loved working with Rafaella and would recommend her in a heartbeat. As an added bonus, Rafaella has great local restaurant recommendations.

Rafaella teaches with a passion, precision and commitment that is truly inspirational. From the time I began her classes in Cabarete, to her now-online format, I knew she was one of the best instructors I've ever had. I love the specificity and flow of each class, her encouragement and awareness of where we are, as students, and especially the opportunity to learn by watching her form and technique when she demonstrates. It's the mark of a great teacher when you, as a student, aspire to be the best you can be. Rafaella, your online classes are amazing, and I'm very grateful to you for offering them and helping me to develop, after all these years, a stronger better body.

I joined several lessons with Rafaella. She is a professional teacher. In the beginning you will learn how to breath properly. Excercises that focusses on strength, posture and flexibility but most of all balance. After a few lessons you feel the difference. When you keep on going you will SEE the difference. I love this 😍 thank you Rafaella
