I am a fully qualified Pilates instructor, with a teaching experience spanning more than 14 years. I am an accredited Low Back Pain Specialist, Pre and Post Natal instructor, and Exercise Referral consultant for GPs and medical practitioners.
As a child I was a keen athlete and dancer. Growing up in a family steeped in dance, fitness and Pilates I have always been interested in movement and exercise. I sustained an injury in my teens and was referred to Pilates where my interest and passion for the method started. As well as teaching a broad range of classes I specialises in teaching rehabilitation Pilates and am passionate about working with clients to focus on their goals and celebrating their success when they achieve the results they have worked hard for.
