Her story
From the classroom
to the mat.
Before Pilates, I spent two decades in education — teaching GCSE and A Level Dance and Performing Arts, and eventually leading departments. I loved it. But somewhere in the middle of all that, I found Pilates. Not as a fitness trend, not for a beach body — but as a genuine practice that changed the way I understood my own body.
I qualified at Level 4 five years ago — the highest level of Pilates certification available in the UK — and I haven't stopped since. I've worked with people recovering from injuries, people who've never exercised in their lives, people in their twenties and people in their seventies. The body's ability to change and adapt never stops surprising me.
My Pilates Lab grew out of frustration. I kept hearing the same thing from people who wanted to try Pilates: too expensive, too intimidating, too hard to fit around a full life. So I built something that removes every one of those barriers. Not a huge platform with hundreds of videos and a pricing structure you need a spreadsheet to understand — just one simple subscription, taught well, priced fairly.
My background in education informs everything I do. I think about how people learn. I think about what someone needs to hear in their first session versus their tenth. I think about the difference between a cue that lands and one that doesn't. That's what I bring to every class — not just knowledge of the exercises, but a genuine interest in helping you understand what your body is doing, and why.
