After being trained as a fitness instructor with Central YMCA in 2000.
I discovered my passion for bodywork. I enrolled on a Holistic Therapy course in Lewes College East Sussex in 2002 and still work successfully from various Clinics in Kent.
Due to the amount of physical work bought about by the many hours of massage with my work, I found it imperative to keep fit and strong. I trained in the gym using free weights, machines and cardio equipment.
I first discovered Pilates in 2006 where after my third child I read how Pilates could benefit me in all the ways I was needing. I went on a short course at my local gym there I learned the basics, Alignment, lateral breathing, Centring and a few of the basic moves, then I followed a DVD at home as it was easy to fit around work/family life.
After many years of body work in Osteopaths helping with muscle tension and aches and pains. I thought of going into teaching and completed a course in Education and Training. I then realised I wanted to train as a Pilates Instructor. This way I could educate and train my clients how to improve their core strength, posture, flexibility, balance, coordination and general health.
I trained with Pilates Training Solutions Ltd
