Our Instructors

Having been a physical education teacher for over 24 years I have always had a strong passion within the field of physiology, posture and performance.

​

In 2015 I completed Level 3 diploma in teaching Pilates, ‘Modern Pilates’, with Cherry Baker. This form of Pilates offers clinical forms of exercise that work on developing balance throughout the body and building strong stable muscles that are also flexible and correctly aligned. I am a qualified Stott Pilates Reformer Instructor and am trained in Barre Pilates.

I have also completed workshops specialising in ‘specialist Pilates -Hip and knee’ and ‘ Neuro-Lates' -working with clients with MS and Parkinson’s disease.

After an accident resulting in a painful back injury I came across Pilates here at Natural Balance.  I had attended many Physio/Chiro and Osteopath appointments but unfortunately nothing seemed to take the pain away.  I decided I needed to take control back over my injury. After doing a series of one to one sessions I then started the Mat classes three times a week.  It was hard work but the commitment paid off.  

I was encouraged to become a Pilates Teacher and I went on to complete my training with Stott Pilates and qualified as a Pilates Mat Teacher in 2015. Since then I have completed many different courses and workshops including Barre Pilates, Mobility and Movement.

I have been practicing Pilates for 15 years and have been a qualified Pilates Instructor since 2018.

I like to create fun flows in class but always using the principles of Pilates. My favourite prop is the small ball.

A qualified yoga teacher since completing my 200 hour Hatha YTT in 2017, I have taught in various gyms and holistic centres.Yoga has helped me gain mental clarity over the years and enabled me to manage way more than my fitness and thats what I love about it.  I love being a part of Natural Balance Pilates and look forward to seeing you in a class soon.
