Hey there,

I’m Estel

Born in Singapore, I started Ballet at the age of 10. I moved to Brisbane, Queensland Australia to further my pre professional training and returned home to Singapore Ballet to begin my career as an instructor in 2022.

With a holistic approach, I am passionate in empowering others to realise their true potential in mind, body and spirit. My experience has equipped me with a unique perspective and thorough knowledge of diverse strength training programs. I am well versed in assessing in client’s fitness requirements and i am proficient in class and client management.

I believe that comfort and growth can coexist within the same space. Tailored to your aspirations and vision, your fitness and wellness journey is a priority to me, driven by a commitment to excellence.

A bit about me

A journey that began with small steps and big dreams

  • Sharing my knowledge is a blessing and instructing is pure joy. The wisdom I gain from my clients, young and old, is priceless.

    I look forward to exploring the limitless potential of both mind and body with my clients.

  • Ballet combines grace, strength and emotion. The studio is my safe sanctuary where it allows me to tell stories and express my feelings without words.

  • Pilates laid the foundation for my peak performance as a dancer, revealing the depths of my body's potential.

    The physical and mental rewards of Pilates continue to intrigue me, shaping my well-being in every way.

  • After a year in culinary school I realised ballet was the recipe my heart truly craved, I traded chef's knives for ballet shoes.

Testimonials

Ballet

  • "One of Estel's strengths lies in being able to coach gently but yet push you to better your form through clearly articulated corrections and encouragement."

    She is able to pick- up on the smallest details which makes substantial difference in how you work your muscles and hold your positions. As I do one-to-one classes with Estel, she always makes an effort to structure the classes according to my body condition. As such, I always feel better after class both mentally and physically.

  • "Estel creates a safe space for you to focus on your personal goals and pushes you to reach even greater milestones with lots of laughs along the way."

    It has been a great pleasure working with Estel. After taking a long break from dancing, it was difficult for me to get back into ballet. Estel made me feel comfortable at class and gave me very precise directions on how to improve my dance technique and quality. I’ve started to fall in love with ballet all over again and I really have Estel to thank for that.

    Estel designs specific programs to target my weaknesses - upper body mobility and core strength. I am very happy that what seemed to be difficult before became achievable for me. She has helped me realise that I could break past certain mental barriers. Through my training sessions with Estel, my mental fortitude built in the studio with Estel benefits me in other aspects of my life.

  • "I could really feel the difference in my body after starting post-natal pilates with Estel."

    My journey with Estel began post-partum as my body was always aching and tensing up. I could really feel the difference in my body after starting post-natal pilates with Estel. She listens to my body concerns and helps to alleviate the problem through the workout. I feel recharged and refreshed after every session with her. Definitely looking forward to every session with her and seeing the transformation in my body.
