I am a Professionally Registered Somatic Movement Educator & Therapist, Regulated Comprehensive & Remedial Pilates Specialist Teacher and a Dance UK Healthcare Practitioner with many years experience working within the very best Alan Herdman affiliated studios in London as well as in my own practice in Shropshire and in Birmingham.
I am Comprehensive Pilates Teacher (Alan Herdman) (all levels of mat, studio and remedial work) , have advanced qualifications in Pre and Post Natal Pilates and Diastasis Recti recovery (Carolyne Anthony) and Bone and Joint Health (Safe for Osteoporosis and Osteopenia) as a Buff Bones® Instructor under Rebekah Rotstein. I have been a dancer and dance teacher in the past and have studied Performance Arts Enhancement with Dr Suzanne Martin as well as a host of other subjects that affect dancers. I am also an Advanced Franklin Method® Educator trained in person with Eric Franklin. I teach in my own practice as well as at the Centre for Advanced Training (Fabric) in Birmingham.
All of this means that I can help you restore and optimise your movement using my very specialist Pilates and Somatic mind body training which is different to what you may have experienced in a standard movement class.
What I teach is restorative, in terms of regaining function, lessening or eliminating aches and pains, re-patterning and reprogramming faulty movement patterns as well as restoring your mind body connection, producing greater states of calm and ease in every sense.
I have particular expertise working remedially and restoring movement when there has been an issue, with women pre and post natal, bone and joint health, experiencing menopause and beyond and additionally, with dancers using one or a combination of advanced specialist programming I teach.
I advocate for healthy dance and am a Dance UK Healthcare practitioner. I work with dancers from many different genres of every ability within a safe and non judgemental environment.
All of my work is regulated, giving you external verification of the depth of my training and professional development from my governing bodies.
My own movement story travelled the pathway of beginner, to specialist, only to find myself having to re-learn everything from very little, to becoming a Pilates and Somatic movement specialist. I know what it feels like physically, mentally and emotionally to take that journey. I appreciate how important it is to work with the right teacher, who has patience, positivity and is not judgemental.
I work with people with no movement experience, all the way through to specialist professional movers with exceptional talents and skills. My clients are curious, intelligent people, often experts in their own field. What they all have in common is commitment to themselves and a belief they can change.
I teach semi private classes in Digbeth, Shropshire and online as well as 1:1 sessions there and would be delighted to support you on your journey, so please do get in touch.
Sarah Pritchard, RSME, RSMT.
