Big learning win to close out 2025 🙌

I recently received my certificate for the EDS Hypermobility course I completed at the back end of last year and I’m so happy to say I passed with 96% on the case study 🎉

Always love learning. Always something new to understand, refine, and apply. The more we know, the better we can support the people we work with.

So….

What is EDS Hypermobility?
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) are connective-tissue conditions where joints are more flexible than typical and joints may move too far or with less stability. This can contribute to pain, instability, fatigue and challenges with typical exercise or movement. Safe movement strategies are key because joints can easily strain or injure if pushed beyond what the nervous system and muscles are ready for.

What is the Integral Movement Method (IMM)?
The Integral Movement Method (IMM) is a specialised movement approach developed by Jeannie Di Bon that’s designed specifically for people with EDS, HSD and related chronic pain conditions. It’s not a generic fitness program — it’s built around making movement safe, mindful and effective for bodies with hypermobility.

Jeannie’s approach grew from her own lived experience with hypermobile EDS and decades of study in biomechanics, Pilates, anatomy, neuroscience and pain management — she has since helped thousands of people with similar conditions and trains other professionals in this method.

Huge thank you to for sharing such valuable knowledge and expertise. Grateful for the guidance 💙

On to the next thing to learn ✨

Thank you for THE most amazing immersive week of learning! Still dreaming about the feet 👣 and all the new information I have taken in this week.

We have learnt all the phases of the gait cycle and what happens in every joint in the body in every phase, we have looked at spotting what is not happening in bodies and then applying exercises to change this.

Just wow 🤩. Feeling so inspired and excited now to apply this!!! I’ve always been so fascinated and interested in feet and now so many things make sense!!!

My own classes in Hurley are back next week starting on Wednesday 3rd September.

** MAT - Wednesdays 9.30am
** MOTR - Thursdays 9.30am
** MAT - Fridays 9.30am

Many of you will know of the local reformer Pilates studio called The Studio at Drummond where I teach. Sadly they have made the decision to close at the end of this year but I am pleased to announce that I will be taking over their studio and go through a rebranding to re-launch the studio in January.

Still some final details to iron out but I wanted to share the news as soon as possible in case you think you may like to begin your reformer Pilates journey in 2025 and considering your options here in Maidenhead. We will have the full current timetable running Monday-Sunday but with more classes to be added through the year and I’m super excited to say we have brand NEW reformer machines arriving all with towers and mat conversions. So exciting!

The new studio will be called “My Pilates House”. Currently just a landing page to see here www.mypilateshouse.co.uk however you can register your interest by emailing [email protected] with your details and we will be sure to provide you with all the information as soon as we have more. And here is the logo - I hope you like 🤍 it. New social media accounts and website to go live just before Christmas 🤶.
