I have been practising Pilates for over seven years – and after experiencing the significant benefits, decided to turn a hobby into a career. My osteopath recommended Pilates, as, afetr a whiplash injury, I had been suffering from pain in my back and neck for ten years. Within weeks, I noticed improved flexibility and mobility – and as the months went on, I discovered that my posture was improved and I felt stronger than ever. To my relief, the pain dramatically subsided.

I now feel passionately about the benefits of Pilates – and I am keen to show how it could help others, too. Pilates is the perfect form of exercise for strengthening and lengthening. You may be recovering from an injury, or a sports enthusiast looking to improve your core strength and flexibility. Perhaps you are looking to improve your muscle tone so that you can feel more confident with your body.

I am a qualified instructor with Body Control Pilates. Since qualifying, I have continued to undertake regular training not only make sure that I am up to date with the latest techniques but also to deepen my knowledge so that I can cater for the many varied exercise needs of my clients. To ensure that classes continue to be fun and engaging I undertake training to use small equipment, such as balls and toning rings and to regularly add to my exercise repertoire. My sessions take place in a calm, controlled and safe environment. Classes are effective, friendly and suitable for all ages and from beginners upwards.
