I have completed the Basic Bobath Course for Neuro Rehabilitation. I am a Later Life trained Postural Stability Instructor. I have also had additional training in Acupuncture.

I am a Certified Pilates Instructor having trained to teach Modified Pilates with The Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI). I have completed the Matwork series and have had additional training in Antenatal/Postnatal Pilates, Pilates for Neurology and Pilates for Children and Young People.

Pilates is a low impact form of exercise with emphasis on improving core strength. Regular Pilates practice can help to improve posture, muscle tone, balance, joint mobility and flexibility. There is evidence to suggest it can also help reduce back pain.

The APPI Pilates Method was designed by Physiotherapists specifically for use in the rehabilitation setting. The traditional Pilates exercises have been modified to be suitable for any age and level of fitness.

Mixed Ability Mat work classes are run weekly.
1:1 is also available for a more tailored service to your needs.

I look forward to hearing from you and working together to achieve your goals and improve your wellbeing.
