"Becki is brilliant - she has a rare talent for making exercise fun" (Liz - client)
Becki was introduced to Pilates in 2005 by her Osteopath as a way of regaining strength and mobility after having back surgery. Overwhelmed by the speed of her recovery and the reduction in pain once Pilates was introduced into her rehabilitation programme she made Pilates a regular part of her routine.
In 2009 Becki commenced her Pilates teaching journey with Body Control, starting out with Mat work before moving onto the low back pain, bone health & older adult qualifications and studio machines. Her main areas of interest are in rehabilitation, and supporting women through menopause. As an ongoing member of the Body Control Pilates Association she continues to attend annual training courses for her professional development. Weekly 121 Pilates lessons with another teacher help Becki to improve her own technique and remain injury free.
Becki is a busy mum who loves spending time with her husband and children. In her spare time she enjoys looking after the alpacas on their smallholding, horse riding, and dancing.
