About the Organisation
Precision. Hospitality.
Belonging.
Peaceen Pilates Ltd. is a Freetown-based wellness studio founded in 2018 by Mariama Kai-Samba. We deliver clinical-grade, anatomically precise Pilates in small, held group settings — alongside barre, mobility, and breath-based restoration.
Our flagship Aberdeen Atelier at 15 Congo Cross Road features six factory-calibrated Balanced Body reformers, a Sacramento-imported spring wall, private changing suites, rainfall showers, and an ocean-facing rooftop deck. Our second studio at 24 Lumley Beach Road hosts community mat, barre, prenatal classes, and the monthly Sunrise Series on the sand.
Peaceen is a registered member of the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA). Our faculty hold active certifications from STOTT Pilates, APPI, and Yoga Alliance (RYT-500). Every instructor completes a minimum of 500 supervised contact hours and 24 CEU hours of continuing education each year.
Our name blends the English word peace with the intimate Krio suffix of belonging. Peaceen is not a gym, not a spa, and not “wellness content” — it is a practice, held to the highest international standards and rooted, always, in Freetown.

The principles that structure
everything we do.
01
Mission
Deliver world-class Pilates to Freetown
Make clinical, anatomically precise Pilates as accessible in Aberdeen, Lumley, and Eastern Freetown as it is in London, Lagos, or L.A. — without compromising the international standards our faculty are trained to.
02
Vision
A room where every body belongs
A city where a banker, a nurse, a student, a grandmother, a footballer, and an expecting mother can stand side by side on the mat and breathe the same measured breath — each cued to their own body.
03
Values
Precision · Hospitality · Belonging
Eight perfect breaths outrank eighty careless reps. Your ginger tea is poured before you ask. Modifications are prepared before you arrive. If you can breathe, there is a place on the mat for you.

Testimonials
What our community says.
"Peaceen fixed a groin injury that three physiotherapists and two doctors couldn't fix. The reformer work is precise in a way I have never experienced anywhere in Salone. I now bring my mother, my sister, and my centre-back. The room doesn't flinch. The room just holds us."

"My prenatal modifications were prepped before I walked through the door. Isatu noticed my sciatica on my second visit and cued differently for eight straight weeks. I'm 36 weeks, zero back pain. That is not luck. That is clinical craft, and it matters."

"I am 74 years old. Fatmata greets me by name at every Wednesday and Friday senior class. She adjusts every single move for my knees and my shoulder. I have made friends here. I have cried here. This studio is also mine."

"The Sunrise Series at Lumley is my favourite two hours of the month. You watch the sun come up over the Atlantic, you breathe the same breath as a hundred other women from this city, and 100% of the money goes to co-ops in the east. Peaceen is for us."
