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

 

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.
