Lifted Raglan

Saying goodbye to someone who’s been part of Lifted from the very beginning, it’s hard not to get a bit emosh 😭

Malin, as you head into your next chapter all the way to Sweden, we’re feeling so much gratitude for everything you’ve been to this space over the past 8 years. Being our very first Pilates instructor, you were there before it all really began, at a time when instructors were so hard to come by across New Zealand and we were so in need of support.

And somehow, in the most “Malin” way, it all started over a few wines on a night out, mentioning you might be keen, and the next thing we knew, you were booked into your course the following week!

From that moment on, you’ve been such a loyal part of this team, not just an incredible instructor, but a true friend. So talented, and always bringing that fun, positive energy that lights up every room you walk into, we are also going to miss that laugh of yours.

Now you’re off on your next big adventure, opening your own studio in Sweden (so cool!), and we couldn’t be more proud and excited to see you absolutely thriving over there!

You’ll be so deeply missed by our team and the beautiful community who have come to know and love you, but we already know this isn’t goodbye forever..we’ll be visiting for sure

Here’s to everything ahead, Malin. It’s going to be something really special ❤️

It gives me great excitement to welcome the lovely Nicole into the Lifted team, as an instructor at our Raglan Studio.

Originally from Vancouver Island, Canada, Nicole moved to Wellington in 1997 before calling Raglan home with her partner in late 2025.

Nicole discovered the Reformer in 2015 while healing her lower back herniations along with neck and shoulder issues AND nerve damage from GBS.
It was such a turning point and completely changed the way she approached movement & recovery. Because of this, Nicole has a strong empathy and understanding for those working through injury.

Nicole trained as a Pilates instructor in 2020 and spent 6 years teaching at Tiaki Physio and Pilates in Wellington.

Her education has continued with further training in rehabilitation, as well as pregnancy and post natal Reformer.

Alongside teaching on Saturday morning & Monday evenings at Lifted, she also works at Raglan Physio.
Nicole is so passionate about Reformer Pilates, and loves the energy of a group class and can’t wait to connect with the community through movement.

Welcome Nicole, we love having you here! ♥️
