our story

nick and charlotte

Located in the heart of beautiful Oneroa Village, Connect Studio is Waiheke Island's first boutique Wellness Studio offering Physiotherapy and Pilates.

Met through friends when Nick and his family moved to Waiheke Island from Sydney in early 2020.  Charlotte has lived island side for five years operating a home Pilates and Personal Training Studio. It was only when they both injured themselves, and looked to each other for assistance, did they realise how truly complementary their rehab styles were - and the potential for a strong partnership started to grow.

One Friday night after a couple of red wines they sat down to talk business and a week later they had signed the lease on the perfect premises, and Connect Studio was born!

They chose the word Connect for a number of reasons. Both Nick and Charlotte have a holistic method of treating and training the body as a whole in order to achieve longevity, rather than a temporary fix of one part. The name also alludes to the connection between our mental and physical wellbeing, as well as the connection between people in a community.

Nick and Charlotte aim to create an environment where people can come to not only fix a problem, but to unwind mentally, educate themselves, challenge themselves, and feel a sense of belonging to a tribe determined to better themselves.
