Like many Pilates instructors, my route into teaching Pilates came after experiencing the benefits of the Pilates, and after an earlier career of working in Construction, Film,

Design & Architecture.

Although never one for team sports when young (except rugby) I have always enjoyed

“keeping fit and healthy” from jogging and cycling and weight training and later

discovering Capoeira. As the years went by with injuries and pain, I found Pilates has

helped me to keep off the sick bed and stay active into my 60’s where I still enjoy

weight training and cycling but now long distant walking rather than jogging.

I have been very lucky to find a vocation where each day I can make a positive

difference to the clients I work with and in turn have my skill set and knowledge

expanded by working with those clients.

Whether working with the modern Modified approach or with the purist Classical

routines the end goal is the same – to enable each client to find freedom of movement

and be the best that they can be.
