A BIT MORE ABOUT ME

 

I am qualified as a level 3 matwork teacher with leading Pilates organisation Body Control Pilates.

 

Since qualifying in 2015 I have continued to build my knowledge and experience. My specialist training includes:

• Pilates for lower back pain, 

• Pilates for older people, 

• Pilates for bone health and osteoporosis

• Pilates for Multiple Sclerosis

• HIP Pilates - High intensity Pilates using weights

• Pilates for Golfers 

• Using a  full a range of small equipment including rollers, balls, bands, magic circles

• Adapting Pilates for a wide range of health conditions including neurological conditions, chronic shoulder and knee pain, diastasis recti, chronic pain conditions and cancer treatment.

 

I work with a wide range of clients including sports people (eg runners, cyclists, golfers, equestrians) and people suffering with chronic back and joint pain.  I work with clients living with conditions such as MS, others in remission from cancer and some struggling with anxiety.  The majority of my clients are looking to build strength & mobility to manage niggling aches and pains; to relieve tension and to enjoy a sense of being toned and strengthened.  

 

Although not from a traditional 'movement' background I have cycled and run for many years and have also experienced  the impact on my body of years in a desk based job.  I understand how both overworking our bodies and conversely spending hours with with very limited movement can each result in postural imbalances, impaired movement  and pain ... and I know that Pilates absolutely can help you address these issues.
