About

I believe passionately in the transformative power of Pilates. With over 24 years of international teaching experience, I specialise in educating and mentoring both Pilates teachers and equestrians who want to deepen their understanding of movement, alignment, and body awareness.

​

My approach is rooted in personal experience. In 2008, a serious skiing accident shattered my lower left leg. Doctors predicted a permanent limp and a year-long recovery—but with the expert guidance of my teachers and the support of Pilates, I was walking unaided and without a limp in just nine months. In 2021, I faced another setback after shattering my left heel, which only deepened my commitment to rehabilitation and helped shape my specialist focus on foot biomechanics—especially in relation to horse riders.

​

I consider myself an eternal student. I continue to study regularly with mentors and maintain a weekly one-to-one practice, which supports my teaching and fuels my curiosity.

​

In 2014, I was honoured to win the international Pilates Anytime Instructor of the Year award. I remain a regular guest teacher for the platform, where my classes reach a global audience.

​

My lifelong love of horses and movement naturally led me to specialise in Pilates for equestrians. I am the team Pilates coach for the Wesko Equestrian Foundation and hold Monty Roberts’ Certificate of Horsemanship. I’ve been invited to record specialist classes for Monty Roberts’ Equus Online University and have presented webinars for both The British Horse Society and Kelly Marks.

​

I write regularly for the equestrian and fitness press, with published features in Horse & Rider, Intelligent Horsemanship, Barefoot Horse Magazine, Showing World, and more. My first book will be published in Autumn 2025.

​

Whether I’m mentoring Pilates teachers, supporting elite 3-day eventers, or helping weekly riders find new confidence in the saddle, my mission is the same: to help people move better, feel stronger, and deepen their connection with themselves and their horses.
