What first inspired you to become an Instructor, and what keeps you passionate about it today?

I experienced for myself what exercise can do for you. How it can heal mental struggles and make you feel at home in your own body again. I started my journey as an instructor wanting to learn more and get a deeper understanding, ultimately being able to help people have the same experience. That’s still what drives me today, I don’t think there can ever be a point when I’m not excited to learn new things about fitness, movement and health.
I started with a yoga teacher training and qualified as a personal trainer and soon realised that Pilates was the missing piece, the key to understanding how we can move our bodies in a healthy and sustainable way, developing strength from the inside out.

What can clients expect from your classes — your style, energy, or focus?

Clients can expect to be challenged in every class, they can expect to leave feeling strong and empowered, having received a full body workout while feeling safe in the process.

Do you have a favorite Pilates / Sculpt move or piece of equipment, and why?

I love the Pilates ball because the possibilities are endless. As for certain moves, I fully agree with everything that targets glutes

What’s one fun fact about you that clients might not know?

I have a completely different life when I’m not teaching or exercising in which I’m working as a commercial and data protection lawyer (not sure how fun this is).

What do you hope clients walk away feeling after a class with you?

Empowered, strong and excited for the next class.
