"Pilates is complete coordination of body, mind and spirit."
J.Pilates
I started my career as a professional dancer, choreographer and dance teacher, training at the highly acclaimed Laine theatre arts. It was through the dance community where I was first introduced to the Pilates method, to enhance my dance technique, improve stamina, agility, flexibility and core strength. I was instantly hooked.
In 2008, I transitioned from dance to teaching Pilates. I first trained with STOTT Pilates and was certified in Mat work, Reformer, Injuries and special populations. I furthered my studies with Body Arts and Science International (BASI) Pilates, completing the full comprehensive Mat work and apparatus teacher training, from beginners to advanced.
Teaching Pilates has given me the opportunity to work throughout the UK, Europe and Internationally. I continue to participate in ongoing education to refine my skills and teaching ability, and not just in Pilates but in other disciplines including yoga, where in 2015 I completed 200hr dynamic yoga teacher training with Godfrey Devereux.
I find teaching so rewarding, and not only is Pilates an amazing movement method, but the classes really do bring a wonderful sense of community and friendships, that I am so grateful for and brings me so much Joy.
I am a passionate teacher and love to watch clients gain an understanding and confidence in their bodies. I ensure all members receive personal attention and professional guidance in a safe and relaxed environment. I want to help each client achieve their personal goals; whether it’s to run a marathon or to pick up their grandchild. I truly believe that pilates is for everybody.
