Hello!!  I live near Sherborne with my husband, three children and a very waggy dog.

 

 I specialise in helping people get out of pain, get stronger and get fitter.  

​

I've done the hard work to refine what you need to do to move easily, without pain. 

 

There's a lot of information online about health and wellness and I've made mistakes too and fallen for all kinds of industry stuff.  That's why I've spent hours learning from experts around the world what works and what doesn't work, to save you the hassle.  

​

​​​From working as a swimming teacher in my late teens/early twenties, early gym classes before work to stomping the countryside lanes with a double buggy, being active has been key to my physical and mental health.

 

I’ve rehabilitated back from two knee operations and major gynaecology surgery to a place where i'm able to do everything I want to do pain free.  I understand the huge impact that lifestyle can have on how we feel and that with the right exercise or mobilisation programme, you can live life to the fullest and I can help you do that.  Finding ways to be active after having children has also given me back my freedom of movement and it’s got me into the clothes I want to wear and feel good in.  I have become a pilates teacher to share the benefits of this transformative way of moving and exercising.  

 

I know how difficult it is to sometimes just walk through the door of a new class and I will be there to welcome you to your lesson.  Putting you at ease, making the environment safe and accessible is a priority for me so you can then concentrate on yourself and getting the most out of your time in class.   I promise you will leave your session feeling energised, focused and happy and your body will thank you for it.

 

Body Control Pilates is recognised as a world-leading education provider for Pilates teaching and i’ve been taught by their famous and hugely successful tutors.  Supplementing this with further tuition, I offer personalised care to meet your goals.
