For over 12 years I trialed every “it workout”. You name it, I’ve tried it. I used Pilates as a dusting on top of all the Functional, HIIT, Resistance, Boxing, Running, that I did.

Over exercising and under nourishing my self left me feeling so uncomfortable in my own skin. My body was inflamed due to consistent cortisol, stiff, sore and hormonally imbalanced and I didn’t feel my strongest or my most confident. I was in a vicious cycle of resenting my body and punishing it through exercise.

When travelling I swapped my drastic workouts for an online pilates class. which I thought “just have to do” for the time being. After what felt like an overnight result, when I made this change of slowing down and being present during my workouts and walking as my other form of movement, my body completely changed with me. I had always struggled to believe when people would say “less can be more” when working working out but I was given proof within my own skin.

From concentrating on consistency, lengthening and strengthening my body through pilates classes, rather than a rigorous exercise regime I grew stronger and saw far more defining results than I had ever had up until this point.

My body thrived through the low impact resistance of Pilates and I feel more confident now than I ever had before.

I chose to become Instructor certified based solely on my adoration of this movement that had changed my relationship with myself. Never imagining I would one day go on to teach in various studios and share my classes online. However knowing how this form of movement brings so much joy to my life and my body I feel overwhelmed with excitement to share it with others in hope they may find the same results.

My Pilates classes incorporate my love for Classical Pilates exercises as well as adding in contemporary moves to really sculpt and shape the body and move creatively.
