A calm, sensitive and friendly teacher, with over twenty years of personal Pilates experience, I strive to help clients achieve their physical potential through developing a healthy and happy body. I teach group matwork and one-to-one classes in and around the Brighton and Hove area, and have several ongoing clients, here in East Sussex and London.
I have a background in dance, and began learning Pilates at ballet school in 1987 with Alan Herdman, founder of the UK’s first Pilates studio in 1970.
I qualified as a PILATESfoundation® teacher in 2007 after extensive training in London with Anoushka Boone at Pilates In Motion. During my training I assisted Vivianne Jonsson, Hollie Ashton-Penketh and Sonia Palecek amongst others.
The diversity of study involved working with the classical and evolved repertoire, remedial and rehabilitation exercises, use of small equipment and props, in-depth anatomy and physiology training.
At the end of 2008, I trained with Power Plate® UK and qualified as a certified Power Plate® trainer. I use the fundamentals of Pilates in all my classes.
I am a qualified First Aider at Work and have full professional commercial insurance through Balens specialist brokers.
