I discovered Pilates after undergoing corrective surgery for scoliosis in my late teens. It wasn’t until a decade later that I truly found Pilates and discovered first-hand the difference it can make to your physical and mental wellbeing.

Having always been a sporty and active person, this new found strength and mobility was a revelation and lead me to undertake a comprehensive teacher training programme with the Physiotherapy and Pilates Rehabilitation Centre in Clevedon, North Somerset. The course was affiliated with Alan Herdman, a giant in the Pilates world and the man credited with bringing Pilates to the UK in the 1970s.

My training was highly remedial, covering all aspects of mat work to advanced equipment work and included physical and postural conditions, such as back/ neck pain, Scoliosis, Osteoporosis, Arthritis, Pregnancy, as well as neurological conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

Since qualifying, I have worked and assisted in a variety of studios encompassing 1:1 and group equipment classes, mat classes and faster paced group reformer sessions. I work with a diverse range of clients, from highly active individuals with a performance focus, to those looking for postural improvements, general strength and conditioning, body confidence, rehabilitation and specialist groups, such as pre/ post-natal.

I am on a mission to help others improve their physical and mental health and truly believe that through purposeful practice, connecting body and mind, everyone is able to improve their posture, mobility, strength, and wellbeing, no matter what age or level they are starting from.
