A BIT ABOUT ME

I take a holistic approach to whole-body wellness and transformation through functional movement. I want you to feel strong and capable in every area of your life and that's what I aim to provide in our classes. I provide sessions to beginners to advanced, from the injured to the athlete and everyone in between those! I offer an array of learning experiences through Mat Pilates, Yoga, Pilates Reformer and the Exo Chair to help you on your path to whole-body wellness.
ABOUT ME
My journey into teaching began with Yoga. From the age of 15 I was regularly attending Yoga classes with her mum in the UK. This love of Yoga led me in 2011 to embark upon a classical Hatha teacher training program in Sydney, Australia, this training quite literally changed my life from having a corporate job to deciding to teach Yoga full time.
Whilst teaching Yoga at a Boutique Pilates studio in Sydney I was regularly attending reformer Pilates classes, and loving every second. An opportunity for an in-house apprenticeship arose so I jumped at the chance. Roll forward two years and I was teaching Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates and Yoga, and really enjoying the complimentary aspects of the modalities.
Throughout my training I was also able to use both Pilates and Yoga as a therapeutic tool my my own body and mind, having suffered with on going lower back pain, scoliosis and episodes of stress and anxiety. For me personally both systems of Pilates and Yoga have had a profound effect on my body and mind.
Really enjoying this therapeutic aspect of movement I decided to train further with Polestar Pilates who are
known for their holistic and science-based approach to functional movement. After 3 years of study, working alongside my amazing mentors, developing and growing as instructor I became studio qualified in Pilates.
Now after having my beautiful little boy and experiencing the wonders of pregnancy and post birth I have a keen interest in women's health. I have also added Barre to my teachings, loving the full body workout you can get in every class.

YOGA & PILATES CLASSES AT YOUR HOME
Private classes are a wonderful way to really make sure that your individual needs are being met in your Yoga or Pilates practice.
Whilst it can be really inspiring and energising to practice with other people, group classes don't necessarily work for all people at all times in their lives. Sometimes we need a little bit more one-on-one attention to really get the most out of our practice.
Or perhaps you would like a small group classes in the comfort and convenience of your home or office and have your teacher come to you. This option is perfect for friends wanting to do classes together and share the cost. A meeting or conference room is generally perfect for this purpose. A large living area or terrace can serve as a suitable space in your home.
