Pilates Interests
I love to work with clients on a 1-1 basis on matwork and reformer Pilates. It’s amazing to working with someone on a 1-1 to meet their goals and needs. I often see people who don’t feel ready for a class progress through a series of 1-1’s before integrating into a class setting or we get clients who want to advance their exercises and technique and take their Pilates to the next level! Whatever your needs Pilates can be adapted to you – that’s why I LOVE IT!

Fillet Steak with roast veg and pepper sauce.
