Our Expertise 

My own experience with chronic pain caused by congenital hip disorder and leading to acute osteoarthritis and experiencing the relief that Pilates gave me, inspired me to train to be a Pilates teacher.  I initially wanted to deepen my knowledge about my own body but soon realised I was deeply passionate about helping others experience the benefits of Pilates and restorative movement.  Pilates is so simple but often overlooked as a form of preventative care and rehabilitation.  I trained with Allison Swan, founding member of the Pilates Foundation and Independent Pilates Teaching Association, gaining a Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Pilates.  This was no mean feat as it involved 594 hours of lectures, home study, practical training and teaching practice whilst working full time in London and being a first-time mum. I know, what an achievement, right? This comprehensive training has provided me with a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology, health and fitness, Pilates matwork including Joseph Pilates’ original repertoire and more modern-day pre-Pilates.   It has also provided me with extensive knowledge of working with those rehabilitating, older adults and pre and postnatal women.  My training covered most common pathologies and I have had many successes working with clients with conditions such as unexplained back pain, arthritis, spinal disc injury, scoliosis, hypermobility, neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.   Most importantly, I am so fascinated by my work that I am always striving to learn more be it through listening to my clients, training, reading, or collaborating with other health professionals.
