I originally trained as a professional dancer and continue to perform alongside my other work. I have always been very much a ‘technical dancer’ and love learning how my body needs to work in order to create different movements and shapes.
Having completed my first dance teaching exams at the age of seventeen, I have taught a variety of dance styles to a whole range of ages and abilities over the years. Teaching dance is where I first discovered there is nothing that quite compares to that moment where a student just ‘gets it’. Whether it’s a different verbal cue or good old perseverance and practice, it’s so rewarding when you see it all just click into place.
In 2012 I qualified as a personal trainer and I have since expanded my expertise to become a certified pre/post natal coach. Ultimately I was drawn to personal training because it allowed me to bring my teaching skills to a wider audience - I want to show everyone that their bodies are capable of so much more than they realise. With physical achievement comes an increased sense of self worth and appreciation that has a very real and positive impact on mental health and confidence. By harnessing this effect I aim to empower my clients to take action to reach their goals.
Becoming a Pilates instructor was a natural progression that brought together all of my expertise and understanding from my different branches of training and experience.
With a strong emphasis on core stability, movement quality and mobility, I am dedicated to helping clients understand how to use their body to its maximum potential and endeavour to help people reach their goals through safe and effective training.
