Laurie Burdan

Hi, I’m Laurie! I grew up on a farm just outside Goderich, where I developed a deep appreciation for nature, movement, and living a balanced lifestyle. Pilates found me at just the right time, and I quickly fell in love with its focus on connecting the mind, body, and spirit. I’m passionate about helping others build strength, feel more capable, and develop a deeper connection with their bodies through movement.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll usually find me creating—whether that’s drawing, painting, sewing, knitting, crafting, or bringing another hands-on project to life. I also love travelling, chasing waves to surf on the Great Lakes and wherever my adventures take me.

The Wellness Refinery has always held a special place in my heart, making it feel like such a natural fit to teach here. I love their passion for nourishing whole foods and their commitment to creating a space where people can move, connect, and feel their very best.
