About Me

Having started teaching Aerobics and Step (how I loved Step!) the next step was a thorough grounding in Personal Training with Premier.

My business took off and I loved it so much.

Sadly I damaged my knee after a fall … let’s not go into that! And ended up having 3 procedures to try and fix it. It isn’t fab to this day but could be worse – though I SO miss my running.  

During my knee rehab time I discovered Pilates. And fell in love. And eventually completed the Body Control Pilates L 3 Matwork.

I have spent the last couple of years undertaking the Pi Academy Fully Comprehensive Certificate. This involves 600 hours of study, at the end of which you have a thorough knowledge of Joseph Pilates’ method. I can now call myself a 3rd generation classical teacher.

I have been so lucky to have been taught by the best teachers in Workshops One-to-Ones and Training Programmes. Including (but not limited to)

• Miranda Bass – author of The Complete Classic Pilates Method – Miranda persevered with me where a lesser teacher may have given up! 
• Brooke Siler – author of  The Pilates Body etc. Brooke has been (and I hope will continue to be) an inspirational teacher and helps me find the extra 1% rather than settling for 99% in an exercise.  And all in the nicest possible way! 
• Holly Murray – owner of Pi Studio in Battersea where I am doing my Classical training. So happy to be on this programme with Holly. She wonderfully generous with her knowledge and time and expertise. 

Pilates is a practise. There is no end point. We all have exercises we love (I’m never happier than when I have my legs over my head e.g. Jacknife) and those we hate (Swan springs to mind…) but we must push ourselves to do ALL of them at our own level.
