Patricia’s Story – A Journey of Resilience & Innovation
A New Beginning – The Risk That Changed Everything
• With courage, she chose to stay and build something from the ground up—a Pilates studio in a country where almost no one had ever heard of Pilates.
• She invested everything into her vision, purchasing the first professional Pilates equipment in Thailand and opening the very first Pilates & Dance Studio in Sukhumvit 31. It was a gamble, but Patricia believed in the method. And she was right.
