About Me
A fully-certified STOTT PILATES Instructor with over 15 years of teaching experience. I hold current certifications in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels up to advanced levels.
My interest in Pilates started after the birth of my second child many years ago. Coming from a fitness background I was amazed how quickly my body responded to simple, effective movements that made me stronger, more flexible and more connected.
Soon after I decided to train with Stott Pilates, one of the leading global teacher-training education programmes. Stott Pilates is a safe, effective and contemporary approach to the original Pilates method, based on modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation.
The various pieces of Pilates equipment I use ensures that anyone, regardless of age, fitness level or ability will be able to participate fully in a session.
It is important for me to keep up to date with the latest research in health, fitness and movement and my dedication to ongoing training and self-development. This ensures that I provide the best service that I can for my clients.
My expertise extends to pre and postnatal Pilates and programming for conditions like osteoporosis, scoliosis, and pelvic floor dysfunction. I’ve witnessed the transformative power of Pilates in improving performance, agility, and overall quality of life.
