I have been teaching Pilates since 2010 and am passionate about helping people move with greater strength, confidence and ease. After living in London and qualifying as a Pilates teacher in Covent Garden, I returned to rural West Berkshire, where I grew up, and now teach from my own private studio. My approach is supportive and highly individual, creating a space where clients can feel comfortable, capable and more connected to their bodies.

I work with both women and men, with specialist training in pregnancy and postnatal Pilates, pelvic floor health, menopause exercise with a focus on osteoporosis prevention, and breast cancer rehabilitation. I am a Certified APPI Pilates for Women's Health Instructor and a Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist, with additional training in pelvic floor health. Every session is tailored to the individual, with a focus on alignment, core control and mindful movement.

I teach from my own studio at our home, where I live with my husband, our three children and our dog, Suki. Alongside Pilates, I also run a ceramics business from an adjoining studio, and both are grounded in the same philosophy of creating balance, wellbeing and a sense of connection through thoughtful, creative practice.

At the heart of my work is a simple aim: to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you can move safely, build strength and feel more at home in your body.
