My Background

I have been working in the fitness industry since 1994. Originally training as a fitness instructor and sports therapist at the City of Bath College.

 

In 2003 I qualified with Body Control Pilates and became deeply committed to the method. I continued with my development and became a master teacher for both studio and matwork.  I am a supervising teacher,  helping in the qualifying of new teachers as well as teaching on the Pilates for Hypermobility Course,

​

I am also The Body Control Pilates Associations Council Member for the south.

​

In 2012 I took on the position of conditioning tutor and module coordinator with Circomedia; an internationally recognised school offering degree courses, one of only two in the UK. I also completed my Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Learning in Higher Education.

 

Through my love of movement , I discovered Thomas Myers’ Anatomy Trains and I trained as a KMI practitioner (now known as Anatomy Trains Structural Integration) and completed the exam to become Board Certified Structural Integrator.  It was around this time I met James Earls and Lucy Wintle.  In 2019 we formed Animatum an advanced fitness education company.

​

In my search for better full body wellness I discovered Upledger Craniosacral Therapy and love how I helps people.  I am now towards the end of my training and offering trainee rate sessions.

 

This began an interest in Fascia and in 2017 I completed my fascial fitness trainer qualification

 

I have taught at many of the top health clubs and run a Bristol Partnership studio in Bristol.
