Pilates · Physiotherapist

Coming from professional dance, I have always been passionate about working with the moving body. I trained in Pilates in 2013 whilst working in a sports injury clinic. I now teach alongside my NHS career as a physiotherapist. My classes target all major muscle groups and teach a restorative, rehabilitative approach — open to all levels, with a key focus on maintaining muscle length, injury prevention and recovery.

Mat Pilates & Reformer

I've been teaching swimming for the past 14 years and started my Pilates journey post knee replacement two and a half years ago — so anyone can do this. Recently qualified in Level 3 Mat Pilates and Reformer, and working towards my Level 4 Mat Qualification. Mum of two teenage humans, one crazy dog, and married to the best supporting person ever. Looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing this beautiful journey with you.

Mat & Reformer Pilates

I'm a Level 3 Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor with a passion for helping people move well, feel strong, and enjoy exercise in a way that supports both body and mind. I started practicing Pilates 10 years ago — a form of exercise that was gentle on my body but still delivered strong results and a healthy dose of endorphins afterwards. It helped me build strength, improve my posture and flexibility, and become more aware of the connection between body and mind. The positive impact Pilates had on my own life inspired me to become an instructor — to help others experience those same benefits, whether they're completely new to exercise, returning after a break, or simply looking for a sustainable way to move and feel better.

More instructor profiles coming soon — send photos & bios to Kat and we'll add them here.
