After having my four children I began to realise my posture had deteriorated over the years. I needed to do something about it and I turned to Pilates. I loved it from my first lesson. I was taught how to see and feel the imbalances in my body with improved body awareness and then how to correct them. It was amazing to see and feel my body changing, getting longer and leaner as my posture improved and even better when other people started noticing too.

I couldn’t wait to start training as a teacher and enrolled with Body Control as soon as my children started school.

I’ve now been teaching for 9 years and realise in even greater depth how truly individual people really are. I find it exciting and challenging to try and work out why an individual has pain and how in my exercise plan I can help bring back balance to the body and release their pain. I find working with portable equipment in my classes adds challenge, interest and extra feed back when we are trying to make changes. So my classes will regularly include either foam rollers, big gym balls, wobble boards, resistance bands, over balls, sit fits, triad balls and franklin balls.
