I have been a Pilates teacher for 20 years and have provided group classes in gyms and local community spaces. I teach from Beginners to advanced levels, see class timetable for up to date information. taking classes in a live group environment allows for hands on correction which gives you the confidence that you are doing the exercise correctly. If you do find a class that you are interested in joining please message me and check that there is availability for the term.
I have been a beauty therapist for the last 35 years and I started my fitness career back in 2000.
After a few years of teaching Fitness I decided to train in the technique of Pilates. Initially, I studied and taught the modified repertoire for 2 years at level 2 (OCR). I then completed my full Matwork Diploma in 2006 with Michael King and the Pilates Institute in London, in conjunction with the Physiotherapy team at Guys and St Thomas Hospital. My qualification included back care and clinical posture analysis, seniors, pre and post natal, personal programming for personal training, and intermediate and advanced Group Matwork. I hold a first aid certificate, Exercise to Music and Gym Instructors award.
I also have a wealth of experience in Holistic and Complementary Therapies and hold ITEC and IHHIT Diplomas in Sport and Remedial Massage Therapy. I hold an Elite Pilates Reformer certificate and have a reformer to use for one to one sessions.
