After leaving a desk job in 2006, I retrained as a personal trainer…I had a big interest in long distance running (up to marathon distance) which then led me into triathlon and long distance swimming…
Working as a trainer in London and Buckinghamshire and now lovely Exmouth has seen me form some lovely connections with clients from all walks of life, those training for running all the way to people who want to improve mobility and quality of life. I spent 15 years working in a day care setting for adults with a wide range of neurological disabilities which is incredibly humbling and rewarding.
During our second Covid lockdown I decided to train in the world of pilates after experiencing back pain and suddenly appreciating how Pilates could and did help me after years for long distance endurance racing and not enough listening to my body. Time to change!
In January 2022 I qualified in Matwork level 3, then to compliment and build my skills I completed my Pilates reformer and level 4 matwork qualifications in 2024/5 respectively.
I currently teach mat and reformer Pilates, spin classes in the local area. I also PT a few clients and work in residential care homes doing exercise with the lovely residents of all abilities 🙂
