ABOUT ME
I left a career as a fashion buyer to pursue a more meaningful and impactful one as a Pilates instructor. Pilates helped me with lower back pain (even in my late 20s household chores left me with a sore lower back), dramatically improved my rounded posture and gave my mind a relief from a stressful job. It was vital in my recovery after a difficult labour and I gained an even greater appreciation for it postpartum.
I certified with Alan Herdman a master teacher, who was the first to bring Pilates to the UK. My training covered all equipment (reformer, cadillac, wunda chair) as well as mat. I continuously develop my knowledge of the method and am also certified in pre and post natal Pilates and diastasis recti treatment by the Centre for Women's Fitness.
I have experience working with a variety of body types, capabilities and age groups - very active people who use Pilates as a cross training method, a way to prevent injuries and achieve better results in other physical pursuits, people who are working on getting their strength back following an injury or illness as well as those who just wish to counteract their sedentary lifestyles and improve their posture.
My sessions are tailored to your individual needs and objectives and focus on creating a balanced body, improving flexibility where you feel tight and creating strength where it is lacking.
