About your instructor
I have been passionate about movement from the age of 2 and a half. Back then it took the form of dancing which I then made my career - initially performing and then teaching. Keeping strong, fit and flexible is pretty important for this and, like a true child of the 90s, I started out doing my mum’s Jane Fonda tapes in the living room alongside her.
I found Pilates in 2007, becoming a qualified teacher in 2009 to complement my dance teaching. The precise, flowing and above all - logical - movements have kept my body injury free through dancing, marathon running, cycling as well as more recently IVF/pregnancy + childbirth. I am qualified in Reformer and Springboard Pilates as well as pregnancy and other specialist Pilates types.
Barre came along in 2015 and the combination of the two is not only ideal for clients but for me as a teacher too. My most recent discovery is the world of fascia - something totally new to me despite 25 + years in the industry. It truly is the missing link!
