About Me
I started off as a dancer, studying at Middlesex University for a degree in Dance Science. The course included structural fitness with knowledge and practice of Pilates and yoga among other focuses. We did this to understand how the body moved in dance, and how vital good posture and technique was for performance and injury prevention.
My interests developed as I wanted to help my colleagues with their injuries and I later enrolled at the North London School of Sports Massage where I received my professional diploma. Since then I have completed several other Continuing Professional Development courses.
I volunteered at the 2012 Olympics offering Sports Massage to the GB sprint team and have experience of post event massage including the London Marathon, Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon and working with dancers at the Mandy Ellen School of Dance.
After practicing massage for a few years I saw a lot of injuries caused by poor flexibility, muscular weakness and bad posture. I wanted to provide my clients with a form of exercise that would help correct this keeping them flexible, improving their posture and building their core strength to prevent and help their injuries even further. I trained as a Pilates instructor in 2009 and went to India to do my 200hr and 500hr teacher training out there with a traditional Indian teacher Lalit Kumar and now teach one to one Pilates and Yoga at the Inline Health Clinic and weekly classes from beginner to advanced level.
