Classical Pilates Comprehensive Teacher

 

About Me

My passion for Pilates comes from helping people discover what their bodies are truly capable of. With a background in education, I believe that learning never stops—for both my clients and myself. Watching people become stronger, move with confidence, and achieve things they never thought possible is what inspires me every day.

​

My own Pilates journey began after the birth of my three children. Although I stayed active through yoga and high-intensity training, it wasn't until I discovered Pilates that I found the movement my body had been missing. The transformation was remarkable—my core became stronger than ever, my posture improved, and I was hooked from my very first class.

​

I began my teacher training with BASI in 2021, qualifying as a Mat Pilates Instructor before completing my BASI Pre & Postnatal Pilates certification in 2024. As I gained teaching experience, I wanted to study the original Classical Pilates method created by Joseph Pilates.

In 2024, I completed the Classical Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training Programme (500+ hours) with second-generation Pilates teacher Amy Kellow at Everybody Pilates, who trained directly with Pilates Elder Jay Grimes. This intensive training gave me a deep understanding of the complete Pilates system and how to tailor it to each individual's needs.

​

I believe great teachers never stop being students. I am currently undertaking the Master Mentor Programme and regularly attend workshops with respected second-generation Pilates teachers and internationally recognised educators, including Mejo Wiggins, Lori Coleman-Brown, Gloria Gasperi, and Murat Berkin. Continuing my education allows me to bring the highest standard of Classical Pilates instruction to every session.

​

Whether you are new to Pilates or have years of experience, my goal is to help you build strength, improve mobility, and move with greater ease and confidence in a supportive and welcoming environment.
