I have been teaching Classical Pilates in Chichester and the surrounding areas for the last 25 years. Private Pilates and Pilates Matwork Classes for all levels and abilities including rehabilitation after injury and surgery.

I come from a professional dance background, having trained at Brian Rogers Performers College. During my training, a previously undiagnosed spinal condition came to light, which meant I had to change direction and leave behind my dream of a career in dance. This led me into Health and Wellbeing, where I began teaching fitness. I was then asked to complete a Pilates Matwork training course, and that was the beginning of my Pilates journey.

The early phase of my teaching career was varied and busy. I taught fitness and Pilates classes in health clubs, ran my own group classes, delivered private sessions from home, and became part of the management team at a club in Portsmouth. At that time, Pilates teachers were in high demand, so there was always plenty of work.

In 2007, I opened my own Pilates studio, The Body Suite, bringing Pilates to Chichester city centre in a new way. It was an exclusive studio dedicated solely to Pilates, where I introduced clients to studio Pilates equipment and the Classical Method of Pilates. This approach went on to define me as a teacher for the next 17 years.

Over the years, I have taught and trained many individuals who have since become teachers themselves. I also co-ran my own teacher training school, The Bodeswell Academy, with my business partner at the time. The academy operated alongside The Body Suite until 2023. I have also trained physical therapists in the US and had the privilege of helping 1000s of clients over the last 25 years.

In my teaching, I draw on all my knowledge and experience, and intuitive abilities, using Pilates as a powerful tool to help people heal, understand their bodies, work with injuries, and recognise their abilities, supporting them in improving both their movement and overall wellbeing.

Over the last year I have transitioned my work to the Goodwood Estate, and now run the Pilates Contrology Studio at The Goodwood Estate Health Club on the outskirts of Chichester.

I run Small group classes on the Pilates Reformer for all abilities and Private Classes for more attention to detail. My sessions are suitable for those who want a great workout whilst being mindful of their movement and wellbeing to those with injuries, pre and post operative healing, spinal conditions like scoliosis, knee and hip replacements, back pain and so on.
