Pilates Instructors

Fitness, continuous learning and the meeting of new people is my way to a happy life. At only 22 years of age I feel I've found something that not only makes my life happy, but others who embrace in its practice...PILATES! Throughout my life I have been involved in many sports such as basketball, touch football, netball and running. Also I was a dancer for 7 years and have a background in many different styles.

It was when I was 16 years of age that I started doing Pilates due to a lower back injury through dancing. I decided I loved it so much and believed in its benefits that I'd make a career out of it. I have now been teaching for over 4 years and have developed a practice that I truely believe in. The most rewarding aspect in being a Pilates Instructor is the many people that you help in improving not only their physical but their mental wellbeing, as well as their energy and positive-nature towards their everyday living.

I have worked with clients in a variety of backgrounds; physiotherapists massage therapists, dancers, footballers, cyclists, golfers, runners and swimmers. I like to bring my own special touch to my Pilates classes, whilst also teaching the practice of breath, alignment, strength, toning and balance.
