Meet The Fredericton Team

Cara Hazelton - MScKin, NCPT

Owner and Comprehensive Pilates Instructor

Cara Hazelton has been doing Pilates for almost 20 years, opening the Fredericton location of Precision Pilates in 2007. She has been a teacher trainer since 2014. Cara has more than 20,000 hours of hands-on teaching experience to guide you and your body to your goals, whatever they may be. Her experience is met with her spunky personality to make your Pilates session as much fun as it is work.

Cara has learned from many of the greatest Pilates teachers in the world. In addition to her original training with Clare Dunphy in Boston (A second generation teacher) she has attended more than ten Authentic Pilates Conferences in the last 7 years.

Cara’s Pilates expertise is met equally by her education in the field of human movement. Cara earned her Master of Science in Kinesiology (MScKIN) at the University of New Brunswick where she focused her studies on the epidemiology of back pain.

She hopes to work with government and private organizations to help reduce pressure on the current medical system by advocating for better use of allied health professionals and exercise programs

Lindsay Brewer

Operations Manager / Comprehensive Pilates Instructor

After many years in healthcare and many years with back issues, Lindsay was looking for a change. She was tired of going to work until she couldn’t stand the pain, and then going off work to rehab her back. She felt she was in a vicious cycle she couldn’t get out of. She knew she had to make changes, for herself and her family, to feel better.

Lindsay began private lessons with Cara and Carol and the rest is history. She completed her teacher training, became a part of the team, and now Pilates is a part of her every day. She feels better and moves better.

Outside of the studio Lindsay loves the outdoors, travelling, camping, and mostly just hanging out with her family.

Carol Illsley

Comprehensive Classical Instructor

When Carol walked into her first Pilates class with Cara she had no idea how much it would change her life. Having been involved in a serious motorcycle accident at 18 she was still grappling with permanent damage and chronic pain decades later.

Pilates literally helped her “Return to Life” as Joe said it. It was slow going at first but within 18 months Cara had her ready to take Pilates Teacher Training!

In 2011, following in Cara’s footsteps, she headed down to Boston and began her initial Teacher Training with Clare Dunphy. In 2014 Carol bridged with the Authentic Pilates Canada Comprehensive Teacher Training Program. In 2017 she returned to Clare Dunphy’s studio and completed the Advanced Teacher Training Seminars.

Carol has had the good fortune to attend conferences and workshops with some of the best, always taking advantage of the opportunity for private lessons. She truly loves helping people discover what Pilates can do for them too.

Sandrine Corbin

Comprehensive Pilates Instructor

Sandrine's first career was serving for 14 years as a Mechanical Engineer for the Royal Canadian Navy. Physical Fitness had always been important for her: she enjoys swimming, cross-country skiing, horseback riding and biking.

Sandrine began taking Pilates lessons and classes with Cara in June 2013 and quickly realized the benefits of the method. She felt better after each workout and found relief from the lower back pain she had experienced since her teen years. Sandrine completed the Authentic Pilates Canada Comprehensive Teacher Training in March 2015 and is passionate about Pilates. She is thrilled to be teaching it as her second career. Sandrine is fully bilingual.

Laurentia (Laura) Marica

Comprehensive Pilates Instructor

Laura discovered Pilates a few years ago when looking for ways to alleviate her recurrent back pain. She is convinced now that you can be flexible and strong at any age. Laura is a Junior Teacher, having graduated the Authentic Pilates Canada Comprehensive Teacher Training Program in the summer of 2021. She was born and raised in Romania and has been calling Fredericton home since 2004. Besides Pilates, Laura loves hiking, reading and good coffee.

Joan Allaby

Comprehensive Pilates Instructor

Joan began her Pilates journey over ten years ago when she was suffering sciatic pain from a bulging disc. She was in her mid-forties, working full time, with children in school, and she couldn’t believe she might be limited by pain the rest of her life.

She’d been advised the best thing she could do was to strengthen her core. So when she saw an advertisement for private classes at Precision Pilates, she called our studio. She’s been practicing Pilates ever since.

Joan enjoys classical Pilates because it engages her mind as well as her body, requiring focus and control. Joan is now a Junior Teacher at Precision Pilates, having completed the Authentic Pilates Canada Comprehensive Teacher Training Program in June 2021.

When not at the studio, Joan likes to spend time in her garden, digging new beds and moving plants around. She’d love to buy a few acres of land, so she could really indulge her gardening obsession. It’s a good thing Pilates is great for gardeners!

Eloise Forbes

Front Desk, Social Media, and Mat Plus Teacher

After nearly eight years as a client, Eloise joined the Precision Pilates team, eager to transition from hospitality into a role that offered better work–life balance after having her daughter.

She now handles office administration across both studios and leads our Fredericton social media. She’s the warm voice behind many of your emails!

Kelley Mitton

Comprehensive Pilates Instructor

Kelley joined Precision Pilates in 2023 to improve her posture, and realized she had discovered the holy grail to vitality and longevity. She fell in love with not only to the emphasis on mobility and mind-body connection, but also the inspirational community and their transformational stories. After experiencing the joy it brought to her own life, she wanted to share this gift with others and and began her comprehensive teacher training in with Authentic Pilates Canada.

With over 20 years experience in adult education as an instructor, project manager and professional overthinker, she loves being part of people's growth journey. She also wants you to know that she was never a dancer, is uncoordinated and maybe a little awkward. If she can do it, so can you.

When not at the studio, she can be found gardening, painting, skiing, onewheeling, and keeping her two teenagers out of trouble.

Amanda Lee - MScKin, CEP

Comprehensive Pilates Instructor

Amanda grew up as a competitive athlete and has always lived an active life in the rink, on the field, and in the studio. Her love of movement led her to a BSc in Kinesiology and ultimately to teaching human movement. During her undergrad, she challenged herself to learn a new class type each year—eventually discovering Pilates and becoming hooked. In 2025, she decided to deepen her love of Pilates by diving into the Classical Pilates world.

Amanda’s classes are fun, informative, and focused on helping participants build confidence, connect with their bodies, and enjoy movement. She believes everyone experiences movement differently and loves finding the right approach to help people feel empowered.
