About me
I first encountered Pilates in 2004 while studying for my diploma in Sports and Fitness Therapy and began teaching Pilates mat classes in 2006 during my BSc at Oxford Brookes University. I continued to develop my Pilates teaching skills throughout my studies for my MSc in Neurological Rehabilitation, which led me to specialise in Pilates for rehabilitation.
In my free time I like travelling and learning languages. I enjoy spending time outdoors, volunteering on various environmental and wildlife projects in the UK and around the world.
Why I practice?
I am also up for a challenge every now and then if it is for a good cause. So I have taken part in many running and triathlon races of all distances and have completed both the Snowdonia Marathon and Challenge Henley (an ironman distance triathlon race – 2.4 mile swim (3.9K), 112 mile bike (180.2K), and 26.2 mile run (42.2K)) …for fun.
Why I teach?
I am passionate about my work and helping my clients achieve better movement through the use of Pilates. I am continually developing my knowledge and understanding of Pilates and frequently attend conferences and advanced classes for this. Through the years, my understanding of movement has evolved as a result of studying various methods and disciplines such as Franklin method, Feldenckrais, KMI and Somatic movement.
