I believe movement should help you feel better, not judged, intimidated or overwhelmed. My aim is to provide supportive, realistic and enjoyable ways to improve wellbeing, health and happiness, helping you build strength, confidence and resilience for everyday life.

My Story

My journey into Pilates and wellbeing began long before I started teaching it.

 

I entered the fitness industry in 1993, teaching a wide range of exercise classes, and discovered Pilates in 1998 while looking for ways to manage early arthritis and persistent lumbar back pain.

Pilates soon became much more than exercise. It helped me build strength, improve mobility and feel more comfortable in my own body, benefits I still rely on today.

In 2004, I founded Fitness Dynamics and have since supported well over a thousand women and men through classes, workshops, group programmes, coaching and one-to-one sessions.

In 2020, I was diagnosed with Hypermobility Syndrome, which explained many years of fatigue, joint pain and recurring injuries. This personal experience has influenced my teaching style and deepened my understanding of living well alongside pain, changing energy levels and the evolving needs of midlife.

Today, my work combines Pilates, fascia training, strength work, breathwork and practical wellness strategies to help people move with greater confidence, resilience and ease.

Women's Health & Back Pain

I have completed specialist training with Michelle Lyons and other leading educators, helping deepen my understanding of women's pelvic health, back pain, hypermobility and movement through midlife and beyond.

This knowledge complements my work supporting clients experiencing back pain, pelvic floor concerns, menopause-related changes, postural issues and the physical demands that can accompany everyday life.

My approach is always practical, compassionate and tailored to the individual, helping people feel safe, capable and encouraged rather than fearful of movement.

A FEW WORDS I TRY TO LIVE BY

Use three quote boxes

BOX 1

Speak kindly to yourself as if you were talking to your best friend.

Sam Horton

BOX 2

Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.

Joseph Pilates

BOX 3

Success is a few simple disciplines practised every day.

Jim Rohn

Progress rarely comes from criticism. It often grows from small, consistent acts of self-care, self-compassion and simply showing up for ourselves one day at a time.

Remember to speak kindly to yourself.
