PilatesMed was founded by Pei Liao, known as “KeKe” (pronounce as Ker Ker) with a mission to help people overcome physical challenges, recover from injury, reduce chronic pain and optimise movement for long-term wellbeing and performance. A Polestar Pilates Comprehensive qualified teacher, a world-class Pilates education recognised for its rehabilitation-focused and evidence-informed approach. She integrates Pilates with her ongoing studies in kinesiology, neuroscience, fascia science and motor learning to provide a holistic approach to movement.

Born in mainland China and raised in Hong Kong, KeKe was an aviation professional and senior executive of a Hong Kong-based airline, overseeing data-driven, multi-billion revenue management. Her Pilates journey began after a skiing accident in Japan left her with hip osteoarthritis and facing hip replacement. Rehabilitation through Pilates and strength training helped her regain function and avoid surgery, inspiring her transition from aviation into movement science and rehabilitation.

KeKe teaches in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and is passionate about using science- and research-informed movement to support her teaching. Her specialist training includes The Women’s Health Pilates Specialist™, Postural Restoration Institute® and Anatomy Trains in Motion®, with further study in pre/postnatal health, menopause, pelvic floor health, diastasis recti, hypermobility (EDS/HSD), post-cancer rehabilitation, vestibular system training, hypopressive exercise and neuroscience. This broad training enables her to adapt movement thoughtfully to a wide range of individual needs.

She is currently completing a Master of Science in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology, alongside advanced training in Visceral Manipulation with the internationally renowned Barral Institute, a leading institution in the development and teaching of visceral and neural manipulation, integrating evolving science and clinical research with advanced manual approaches to the viscera, nervous system, extremities and brain. She's also deepening her study of neuroscience-informed movement through the Feldenkrais Methodwith Garet Newell, who studied directly with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. These advanced studies expand her understanding of movement science, neuroscience and fascial systems, supporting an integrated approach to movement and rehabilitation while laying the foundation for future research bridging scientific evidence, clinical practice and embodied learning.

Outside teaching and study, KeKe enjoys cycling, skiing, beekeeping and exploring the world’s hidden places. Her adventures have taken her trekking in the Himalayas and mountain biking in the Alps, long-distance cross-country road cycling. She's also a dedicated Vipassana meditation practitioner since 2015, her practice began in Myanmar and has completed four 10-day silent retreats around the world with plans to continue more sittings in different countries - she wishes everyone could have this art-of-living tool for life.
