move - live - love

Initially trained as a dancer and going on to enjoy 15 years of teaching young children through to adults, teachers, and professional performers, I first discovered Pilates in the 1990's and fell in love with the many benefits it has to offer.

​

In 2009 ill-health meant I had to leave the dance profession, but after 8 years of slowly recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome, the time was right to explore the world of movement again and Pilates was the perfect choice. I am thrilled that my Pilates love affair has been rekindled…which I pass on to my clients with enthusiasm and joy  - it is catching and addicvtive so beware!

I went on to qualify in matwork in 2018 and in 2023 completed a 500-hour training program and examination to further my knowledge and train in studio equipment such as the reformer, cadillac, wunda chair, and barrels with BASI Pilates (Body Art and Science International).

​

I love the diversity that Pilates has to offer and having experienced how beneficial Pilates can be to help restore health and well-being I love that I get to share its goodness with my many clients each week. Helping them build a strong body and mind by doing something they enjoy. There may be a sore muscle or two along the way, but the benefits of Pilates are worth it!

My classes are fun, flowing, and effective. Providing a challenge where desired and designed to ensure clients are left feeling physically and mentally balanced, with a feeling of achievement and joy. 

​

I am lucky to work with a variety of people in both 1-2-1 and group sessions and adore nothing more than helping clients become stronger in both body and mind and creating a friendly atmosphere.

​

I adore teaching Pilates and hope to meet you in class or a 1-2-1 soon and spread the Pilates love a little further!

Favourite Pilates Move?

​

Oooh - a hard question as there are so many!! Anything that rolls through the spine - but my favorite is Open Leg Rocker.

​

Nemesis Pilates Move?

​

Side kick kneeling - eugh, my body protests!

​

What do you enjoy doing other than teaching and practicing Pilates?

​

You can often find me walking as I try and do so every day and cycle in the summer. I love paddleboarding when I get the opportunity and the weather is kind - I am definitely a fair-weather paddler though!

​

I also like chilling out and spending time with my husband and daughter - it is all about balance so a good movie with the log burner on is perfect

​

What would you say to someone who had never done Pilates before but wanted to give it a whirl?

​

Do it!! Enjoy it and be patient. Find the right teacher and class for you as we are all different. Listen to your body and do what you are comfortable with at the start. Progression, not perfection is a great motto to follow and before you know it you will reap the benefits Pilates has to offer!!
