I first discovered Pilates in 2006 after injuring my back and was immediately drawn to the supportive yet transformative nature of the discipline and, in particular, of the Reformer. As a result of wonderful teaching, my body was returned to good health and I was inspired to train with Polestar Pilates to become a fully comprehensive studio practitioner, including Reformer, Cadillac, Barrels, Chair and Mat.

My mission is to enable men and women to move with joy and without pain, whether recovering from injury or just easing the stresses and strains of everyday life. I opened my studio in the centre of Blackheath village in 2017 and work one-to-one with my clients, whether in person or virtually, to assist them as they begin new chapters in life both personally and physically. Pilates is suitable for all ages and levels of ability. Once movements are understood and performed well, the benefits of practicing regularly include increased physiological strength and suppleness, improved posture and better mental health.

I am particularly passionate about empowering clients of any age to find joy in exercise, especially as they approach the menopause and beyond. I am certified with the Menopause Movement and have studied with the Franklin Institute as a Pelvic Floor Fascia Trainer. Additionally, I am registered with The Guild of Pregnancy and Postnatal Exercise, following certification with Mamas Pilates as a pre and postnatal exercise and nutrition Instructor, and am also a professional member of BackCare, the charity for supporting spine health.
