Move better. Feel better. Live better. โจ
Join me on the mat for lots of feel-good stretches and mindful movements to help you reconnect with your body, release tension, and build strength with ease.
With over 27 years of teaching experience in Pilates and mindful movementโalongside a background in classical balletโI bring a deeply trained eye to every class. Even in an online setting, my students often say they feel seen, supported, and individually guided, with real-time corrections that help them move safely and confidently.
No matter where you are in the world, you can join me as long as the timing works for you. ๐
All you need is a mat, a device with Zoom, and a quiet space to move.

Passionate about Pilates, health & fitness! I love helping others feel good in body & mind! Join me!
Recently Iโve been trying to bring more dance back into my life โค๏ธ
I keep thinking about the very last class in my final year of ballet school, (around 30yrs ago!) when Miss Mitchell said to us: โnever stop dancing.โโฆand what did I go and do!? ๐
Even though I taught dance for many years - it's not the same as dancing for yourself. Life got busy and priorities shifted - itโs funny how something you love so much can quietly slip away
So Iโm changing that. Iโm letting dance back inโwithout perfection - just moving because it feels good again.
Whether thatโs playing around on the TRX at our local sauna, heading to ecstatic dance nights with live music, or just putting on a song and moving around the kitchen like no oneโs watching.
Is there something you used to love as a child that youโve left behind? Maybe itโs time to bring it back โจ
This is the reset your lower back has been asking for. โค๏ธ๐
In this video weโre breaking down pelvic mobility step by step:
1๏ธโฃ Side-to-side pelvic tilts
2๏ธโฃ Forward & back pelvic tilts
3๏ธโฃ Then blending all four positions together
4๏ธโฃ Transitioning smoothly into a full circular pelvic clock
When you connect those four points and move around them, you create a gentle circular massage through the lower back from the pressure of the floor.
This helps to:
โข Restore awareness of pelvic positioning
โข Improve lumbar mobility
โข Build deep core control
โข Reduce gripping in the low back to facilitate relaxation of this area
If you want more smart, intentional exercises like this, my online Pilates classes teach you how to build strength and mobility from the inside out โ so your body feels supported, not strained.

My son is getting SO good at controlled handstands lately and honestlyโฆ it inspired me to get back to working on mine. Watching him go for it made me want to rise to the challenge too.
Right now Iโm using a traditional Thai stool to roll under my feet while I work on pike. It helps me focus on lifting through my hips, engaging my core, and stacking my shoulders - slow, controlled movements.
Any handstand experts out there with tips? ๐๐ฅ

What a beautiful group of women we had with us in Chiang Mai ๐คโจ
Even though this was my 14th retreat, every single one feels completely different. The magic always depends on who joins โ and this group brought such warmth, openness, laughter and depth. Every woman adds something uniquely special, and together it creates an experience none of us could have predicted.
We tuned into body and mind through mindful movement and Pilates (including Pilates in the pool ๐ฆ), and a definite favourite was my brand new Glow & Flow classโฆ the details are staying under wraps for now โ youโll have to come and experience that for yourself.
We softened into sound meditation, reset with breathwork, and embraced contrast therapy with Thai herbal steam and ice baths โ๏ธ๐ฅ
We were nourished by delicious, fresh food โ many ingredients grown right at the resort.
We melted into Thai massages, lymphatic drainage, and facial, neck & shoulder massage beneath the rain tree ๐ฟ
And we had a wonderful session led by Tammy, sharing practical, sustainable tips for creating truly healthy lifestyle changes that last.
Thereโs something so powerful about stepping away from daily life to reconnect, reset, and remember what really matters.
If youโd like to Re-treat Yourself this year, Iโd love to welcome you.
Send me a message for the upcoming schedule ๐โจ

โ๏ธ and youโre fully supported, wherever you are in the world
No commuting. No studio stress.

I recently wrote a little self introduction on the British Mums in Hong Kong FB group - a super friendly supportive group - the kind where you can ask any random question and there will be someone on there that knows the answer and/or willing to help. There will also occasionally be the odd post about how you like your tea or if it's jam or cream first!? Love it!
The admin proposed a day for business owners to introduce themselves and say a little bit about what they do and how they got there! Here's what I wrote โฌ๏ธ
Just realised I didn't write about having two wonderful teenaged boys ๐
- not sure they'd appreciate me posting their photo or going into detail about them though ;)
