Instructor Profile

I have been practicing Pilates since I left university and first moved to London to follow a career in Radio. I loved how Pilates helped to improve my posture, flexibility and muscle tone, all in such a calm, relaxed way. At the back of my mind I had always thought about being a Pilates instructor.

After moving back to Wiltshire, and three children later, the opportunity arose to pursue becoming a Pilates instructor. I chose to train with ‘Body Control Pilates’ (BCP), who are renowned as the world leading education provider for Pilates teachers. After extensive training with the amazing, experienced teachers there, I gained my Matwork teaching certificate.

I continue to attend development days and courses to expand my knowledge and experience. My lessons focus on increasing core strength, mobility and optimum body alignment.This in turn, leads to improved posture and balance thus enhancing everyday movement.

Another key element is teaching ‘body awareness’ and learning how to be in control of your body. This enables us to handle stress more effectively and achieve relaxation more easily.
