About Graphic-2.png
 

I’m passionate about keeping my body fit and healthy and helping you to do the same...

where it all started

Dance and exercise has been an extremely important part of my life from a young age. As a ten year old, I took up Latin and ballroom dancing and progressed through to gold level.

Then, years of exercise in local gyms and leisure centres followed. As did marriage and my three children. Yet somehow I always managed to find the time to regularly exercise and keep myself fit and healthy.

how my pilates journey begun

Finding myself made redundant, after seventeen years in the trading industry gave me the push I needed to follow my passion. It was time to change my life and do something that I really enjoyed.

After twenty-five years of exercise experience under my belt (alongside my day job) I felt this was the perfect opportunity to pursue my dream job and pass on my passion for exercise - this is where I discovered Pilates!

I am hugely grateful to my own Pilates teacher, who’s knowledge and teaching style inspired me to take this career path.

Fifteen years on… and I still have the same enthusiasm for my job (as when I first started out) and find it hugely rewarding to be able to help others (like you) see/feel the benefits Pilates can bring to your life (whatever age you are!).

How I can help you

 The main objective of my pilates class is to ensure that you are doing each move properly, and getting the most out of each lesson. Classes are run on a course basis to allow me to get to know you individually and allow me to prescribe the right exercises or adaptations for you.

I teach classical Pilates which will enable you to feel the benefits both internally and externally.
