I began training to be a teacher in 2001and over the years have completed countless pilates courses with different training providers and styles

In 2023 I graduated with a Diploma in Clinical Pilates, a 1 year long, 15 hours a week highly specialised, in-depth and post graduate level course

This arms me with the skills to rehabilitate and help any injury or condition and help you manage and reduce your pain with the latest evidence based exercise science and pain science with a program that is proven to be highly effective

I suffered from a severe disc injury in 2021 that left me in crippling pain, with sciatica and nerve damage, I was unable to put on my pants and socks and live my life for months on end so I can fully empathise with how an injury and pain can affect every aspect of your life
