Jillian is a dedicated mother of four with a passion for health and fitness. After living and working in London for 14 years, she has returned to her hometown of Gqeberha with her husband and young children. Her life has since taken on a new and exciting direction.
“Before returning to Gqeberha, my husband and I spent over 14 years living and working in London, where we embraced the vibrant life of the city and travelled extensively, exploring the world and its diverse cultures. During this time, I built a successful and fulfilling career as a Senior Food Technologist for a major retailer, supported by my M.Sc. in Food Science and B.Sc. in Microbiology.
After welcoming four wonderful children into our family, we decided to return to Gqberha—initially for a short seven-month stay, which soon extended indefinitely. As we settled into our new life here, my enduring passion for health and exercise inspired me to embark on a new chapter: retraining as a BASI mat Pilates instructor.”
