I originally trained at The Italia Conti School of Performing Arts in London in the 1980s before launching my career coaching dance, movement and fitness. Over the following years, I came across countless exercise enthusiasts suffering strains, injuries and discomfort. Such issues were prevalent in those of poor posture. I wanted to know how posture and positioning affected the body during exercise and the impact and stress on weak, vulnerable areas could be combated. So I refocused my attention on the anatomy of movement and extended my training at the internationally renowned Polestar Pilates in London.  That was 12 years ago and I update my training on a yearly basis to maintain the respected Polestar Instructor Certification. I am fully certified and insured in both Mat and Studio Pilates.

I find teaching Pilates stimulating, challenging and rewarding. My regular client base ranges from those dedicated to sport and dance, to individuals merely wanting to strengthen or tone up.  Others include teenagers with growth-related issues, patients with chronic conditions referred by Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, and GPs, and older clients seeking efficient movement strategies to help them perform daily activities with ease. I work with diverse ages from 13 to 93 but am yet to find a client for whom Pilates is inappropriate.
