Meet the team

Bio

After years of gymnastics and dance as a child , I moved to Cambridge at the age of 17 to study musical theatre, where I achieved my level 6 diploma.

After graduating I soon realised that the industry wasn’t for me, which is where I found Pilates. Pilates for me created a mindful space, where I could connect to my own body, become stronger and learn to move in a way that I genuinely loved. That’s when I decided I wanted to teach others, so they could have the same realisation, which is what led me to qualify as a Pilates instructor and a personal trainer.

From that point I have gone in several directions with my instructing journey, working with lots of different bodies and abilities, teaching everything from Pilates to aqua aerobics to HIIT classes. But now I am lucky enough to teach Pilates full time and I feel so grateful every day that I get to bring Pilates to so many.

From my classes you can expect a blend of strength, flexibility and flowing sequences, with lots and lots of gorgeous layers!
