My own Pilates journey began after having my first child and struggling to find a fitness professional with Pre & Post Natal knowledge and experience to help me recover fully. After having my second child my Diastasis Recti became worse and it was at this point I realised that there was a lack of help and knowledge out there not only for Mums trying to recover postnatally but also knowing which exercises are safe to do prenatally. I also saw more and more people suffering from bad backs and neck tension often as a result of the technological world we now live in, often sitting for long periods of time, whether driving, or at a desk in front of a computer.
In 2018 I became a certified STOTT PILATES® Matwork teacher and went on to complete my Classical Pilates Full Certification Training (500 hours) with Alison Salmond (STOTT PILATES® & NEW YORK PILATES STUDIO certified). I have and continue to attend classes and workshops with highly experienced teachers including Lesley Logan & Alan Herdman and am continually excited to learn. I offer beginner to advanced Matwork classes to help clients achieve a balanced, healthy and sustainable exercise routine which helps them be the best possible and pain free version of themselves, whilst working out in a calm, supportive, encouraging and fun environment. I also offer apparatus based 1-2-1/2-2-1s utilising the apparatus and work clients through the repertoire using the system. Although I don‘t run specific Prenatal & Postnatal group classes, I can offer these as
1-2-1 sessions.
Each year I take Continuing Professional Development training (CPD's) to retain my certification and these workshops help to ensure the classes remain interesting and exciting, constantly bringing new research and ideas into class. Some of these include Flexion Free, Foam Roller, advanced Matwork, pilates with props and Prenatal & Postnatal Pilates on the Mat. I also attend other Pilates workshops and training courses, which are taught by highly regarded teachers. These have included common lower back conditions, shoulder stability, Anatomy, Scoliosis, Osteoporosis, Post-rehab knee strength: Stabilising the most vulnerable joint and The role of the hip: Post-rehab strength and stability workshops plus Lesley Logans own workshops. I am currently studying a Post Graduate Pilates Certificate
