🌟 New Pilates Class Trial at Bicknacre Memorial Hall 🌟

I'd love to bring a regular daytime Mat Pilates class to Bicknacre, so I'm running a limited 4-week trial to see how much interest there is.

📅 Tuesdays at 11.30am
📍 Bicknacre Memorial Hall
🗓 Starting 23rd June
💷 £11 Pay As You Go
💷 £36 for the full 4-week trial

This is a chance to enjoy a friendly, welcoming Pilates class focused on improving strength, mobility, balance and wellbeing. All levels are welcome.

If there's enough interest, the class will continue as a permanent fixture. If not, I'll pause it over the summer and look at relaunching in September.

Spaces are limited, so please book in advance here:

I'd be so grateful if you could share this post with anyone who might be interested. 😊

When choosing a Pilates instructor, experience matters.

Before teaching Pilates, I worked as a Diagnostic Radiographer, developing a detailed understanding of anatomy, physiology and how the body functions.

My connection with Pilates became even more personal following a severe stroke. As part of my own rehabilitation journey, I experienced first-hand how movement, patience and consistent practice can help rebuild strength, confidence and body awareness.

That experience gives me a unique perspective when working with clients. I understand both the science behind movement and the realities of recovery, rehabilitation and adapting to challenges.

Whether you're looking to improve strength, flexibility, posture, balance, mobility or simply enjoy moving more confidently, my classes provide a supportive and welcoming environment for all abilities.

See the timetable on this post for current class times.

I'd love to welcome you to a class.

Oh gosh! Sorry for the autocorrect which said Marilla was gone! She's home not gone. 🤦

I'm so sorry for the disruption to our classes last week while my husband and I dealt with the upsetting news of our two year old golden retriever's cancer diagnosis. She's home now and look how happy she looks!

(For those who were asking, there is a fundraising page to help us with the cost of the very expensive surgery and chemo

Classes are on this Thursday.
Come on down!

So sorry to cancel at the last minute.
No class tomorrow (Tues 12th)
Due to a personal emergency.

No class today due to a personal emergency. Hopefully back next week.

If you’re craving a little space to slow down, I’ve just shared a new guided relaxation: *Peaceful Place* 🌿

This gentle visualisation is designed to help you settle your body, quieten the mind, and journey to a sanctuary that feels calm, safe and entirely your own. It’s ideal before bed, after movement practice, or anytime you need a moment of stillness in your day.

You can watch it here:

I hope it brings you a deep sense of ease and a reminder that your peaceful place is always within reach 🤍

Not your average Pilates teacher. Here's why. 🧠💪

Before I ever taught a single Pilates class, I spent nearly two decades working inside the human body — as a qualified Radiographer (BSc 2001–2004), then working clinically from 2004 to 2018. I've seen thousands of spines, hips, shoulders and knees on imaging. I understand anatomy, biomechanics and how the body actually moves — not just in theory, but from years of clinical practice.

When I trained as a Pilates instructor, it didn't just add a new skill — it brought everything together. My radiography background means I can spot movement patterns, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and teach with a precision and depth that makes a real difference to your body.

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to move better and feel stronger — you're in safe, knowledgeable hands.

Small, calm classes. Clear guidance. Real results ✨

In my Pilates classes I teach how to move, not just what to do. I give detailed instruction throughout, gently guiding you to use the right muscles and helping you notice when others are trying to take over. This is how strength is built properly — with awareness, control and precision.

It’s very different from large gym classes where you’re one of many, watching and trying to keep up with little instruction. These sessions are personal and supportive, so you’re never guessing. Your body learns to work intelligently, safely and effectively.

Class times:
• Monday 10am – Rochford
• Tuesday 9.30am – East Hanningfield
• Thursday 9.30am – South Woodham Ferrers
• Thursday 11am – Chair Pilates, South Woodham Ferrers

If you enjoy these classes, I’d be so grateful if you could share this post with friends who might benefit too. Please feel free to add a few words about what Pilates with me feels like for you — your thoughts really do mean so much 🤍
