I attend various training workshops each year with International Instructors to maintain a high standard of teaching in both Pilates and Bowen which include working with upper and lower limb pathologies, spine injuries, Parkinson’s and more recently Hormone Release.
I was first introduced to the benefits of Pilates through the positive experiences of friends, who had gained significant health benefits with Pilates. Originally taking up Pilates as a method to tone up my body, I discovered that not only did it change the shape of my body in a very short time, but it released all the tension that I had been storing for years in my shoulders, neck and lower back. It was this experience, together with my desire to find a career which involved helping others improve their health and overall well- being, which led to me enrolling on a two year intensive matwork and apparatus course with Pilates Foundation.
I went on to gain a Post Graduate qualification in Pre and Post Natal, and then later became a Pink Ribbon Post-Rehabilitative Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist and a Bowen Therapist.
I am passionate about teaching Pilates, and is keen to further my knowledge in rehabilitation and other holistic therapies. I hope that Pilates will have a positive impact on the lives of everyone who comes to the studio, by helping them to increase their self-awareness; to develop a healthier, happier body; and to move with poise, strength, and vitality.
