I teach Pilates, movement and re-education of breathing patterns. I work with both children and adults, in order to improve overall health and well being.

​

From an early age the driving force in my life has been my love of movement and my love of learning - I was the child that couldn't keep still and the child that constantly asked why?

 

This curiosity led me into teaching and I started my career as a dance teacher, teaching a variety of styles and ages. I went on to complete a PGCE in Education, working in nursery, primary and secondary schools for over 25 years. During that time I also became a Pilates teacher. First gaining the mat certification with Body Control Pilates, then the Comprehensive Studio Equipment Certification with Evolve Movement Education and the Moving Fascia Diploma, both under Ana Barretxeguren.

​

I continue to seek out a way of thinking that looks holistically at the human body and stay open to new research that will inform me as an educator. Recently this has led me to studying the Buteyko Method of breathing and enabled me to delve deeper into the understanding of the biochemistry of the body.

​

Identifying HOW we breathe is crucial and looking at the body via all three systems - 

1- biochemistry, 2 - psychology, 3 - biomechanics, allows us to return to a more balanced healthy state.

 

I have the felt sense to empathise, as well as the knowledge and skills to help. My approach is always to gently raise awareness, re educate and then empower you to take control of your own body via;

​

-understanding what's happening

-learning how to 'tune-in' and feel what's happening 

-creating a 'tool box' of exercises that you can do anywhere
