About me

I came to Pilates because my body didn't feel the same or look the same as I had done when I was younger. I used to go to aerobics classes, had cycled and played tennis, you name it I tried it - (remember Jane Fonda?). But when I was 30 I broke my neck and just stopped. I recovered but was very cautious about moving my body. I felt stiff and moved badly. I went on to have 2 children and then became a major event manager for a large charity. All this did nothing for my posture, stress levels or my fitness.

I started attending a local Pilates class in 1999. In 6 months I noticed how my body had changed. The confidence to move my body also returned and gradually I became stronger. Today I can enjoy a freedom of movement that I thought I would never get back.

Alongside me on my journey has been my faith. It has kept me going when I thought I was on my own. God has given us an amazing bodies and we need to look after them. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 We are to 'honour God with our bodies'. I also believe that exercise is part of our lives and has to be in the right place. 1 Timothy 4:8 says 'For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.' The verse says exercise is valuable, but puts it in the correct order in our lives. And I have followed that in my own life.

I want to help you rehabilitate and look after your amazing body through teaching you Pilates. In 2004 I trained as a Pilates Matwork teacher, following on in 2011 by completing my training to teach Pilates studio equipment. I now work out of the only fully equipped Pilates studio in Chislehurst. Last year I felt I needed to improve my heart health and took up Nordic Walking. Combined with my Pilates I feel so much healthier than I did in my youth. And I intend to keep it that way.

I hope to see you one day soon. God Bless.
