After suffering with chronic back, hip and neck pain myself for several years my Physio recommended that l could benefit from Pilates. After the first few sessions l felt a real boost and wanted to understand more about how l could help myself. I began to realise how much l had neglected my body and how poor my posture had become. I  was expecting it to be pain free when l was doing nothing to keep it strong. I specifically chose to train in Modern Pilates as not only had it benefited me through classes l was attending but l also liked the idea that the course and programme of exercises were devised and delivered by some of the UKs leading Pilates Practitioners & Physiotherapists. After qualifying as a Modern Pilates Instructor I further developed my knowledge and was very proud to train and qualify as an APPI Certified Matwork Instructor. I am passionate about helping people to become and feel stronger. I like to provide a personal touch and keep a close eye on making sure each client gets maximum benefit from each exercise. It is a joy to see a client progress, become stronger and achieve things they were unable to do in the beginning am committed to continuing my educational journey and I regularly update my knowledge by attending CPD training and achieving further qualifications.

Both Modern & APPI Pilates look at the body as a whole and their unique programme of exercises are accessible to all ages and ability. It achieves this by building in stages so the exercise can always be appropriate to individual client needs and capability.

I teach both 1to1 and group Pilates sessions.  1to1 sessions are a great idea if you are a beginner, have injuries, are recovering from an operation or illness or just have lots of questions and want to gain a better understanding of how Pilates can help you. This knowledge can then be taken into group sessions when you are ready.
