Welcome
If you're here, you've taken the first steps towards the great benefits that pilates can bring.
Part Greek, part German, Joseph Pilates formed Pilates during the first world war to aid the rehabilitation of soldiers. He firmly believed mental and physical health went hand in hand, and recommended a few precise movements to emphasise control, helping them to regain their health by strengthening, stretching, and stabilizing key muscles.
He continued to add and develop the exercises over the following 80 years through observation and use.
Pilates can be used to assist a variety of injuries, muscle imbalances and core strengthening, as well as helping to improve posture and reduce stress.
It is an extremely inclusive form of exercise for all ages and abilities.

Specialist Classes
I've recently attended Pilates Foundation workshops on the lymphatic system, working with people with lymphoedema, and working with people being treated for, or recovering from breast cancer.
I've supplemented these workshops with my own research, and can now offer one-to-one sessions in these areas.
Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss any of these in further detail, as sessions are tailored specifically for your individual needs.
