Wellbeing Movement Therapy Hello and thank you for stopping by on my page. I'm Elena (Elle is my nickname), I am originally from sunny Italy, and I have been living in the UK since 2003.

Specialist remedial Pilates and sports massage therapy studio in Godalming, offering tailored
one-to-one sessions to support rehabilitation, strength, mobility,
and long-term wellbeing. I love movement, dancing, and walking in my bare feet. Movement has always been an important part of my life, as I have been a dancer from the age of 5, studying ballet first then contemporary dance at
The London C

ontemporary Dance School and at The Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds, and performing professionally in theatres across the UK and abroad. Following a back injury in 2010, I decided it was time for me to move away from the demands of stage life and I began to rehabilitate through Pilates and Yoga. And I am so grateful I did turn towards mindful and healing disciplines, despite all the hard times I had to face, physically, emotionally, and mentally. Since then, I completed my comprehensive teacher training in Pilates and remedial exercise in 2012 through Alan Herdman, the pioneer of Pilates in the UK, and subsequently, I have obtained a Pre & Post-Natal certification through Body Control Pilates®. I have also a 200hrs Yoga Teacher Diploma and Meditation from Yogacampus (with at least 320hrs of contact hours), which is internationally recognized by Yoga Alliance, REPs, and Independent Yoga Network in the UK. I am a qualified Relax and Renew® Level 1 Restorative Yoga teacher and registered on https://www.restorativeyogateachers.com/
As well as teaching Pilates and Yoga I have been teaching dance for many years collaborating with The English National Ballet School, The Centre for Advanced Training (CATs) in London, Ipswich, and Nottingham, The London Studio Centre, and Danscentrum Vast in Sweden to mention a few. I strongly believe in continuous learning and personal development, that is why I am always looking to develop my knowledge by attending conferences, courses, and workshops to expand my knowledge and offering quality and professionalism to all my students, helping them to move better and to feel better.

Life lately..."back to school" summer edition...🥵🤓
I decided my life wasn't busy enough as it is, so I've applied for a Sports Massage Level 3 course to keep my summer occupied 🤦🏼‍♀️. (although I'm already pondering when I could fit it the next level 4 this year...). I concluded I'm mostly a kinesthetic and a visual learner and essay writing is not my forte, although you gotta do the painful bits first (and I'm not talking about sticking my thumb into somebody's piriformis🤣) in order to progress further. Returning to study at 42 feels somewhat very challenging (especially when some of my peers have just turned 19 😒), but nevertheless very rewarding. Never stop learning!

- waiting for my case study to arrive,
- meet my lecturer Frank,
- uni life,
- this tag opens doors,
- books are always open on the dining table.

It's no surprise to me at all to see a title like this...🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ My first thought is that this industry really needs much stricter and broader rules. I keep hearing horror stories of new, often questionable, fancy studios opening their doors on a daily basis. These places, sadly, are often run by money hungry people who have little to no real Pilates training, or at best, only a surface-level understanding. Their knowledge of how to handle injuries, and more importantly, how to prevent them, is often terribly lacking, putting clients at risk.
Plus, the equipment in these new studios is often poor, uncared for, and badly maintained, which creates a recipe for disaster and trip to A&E. What makes you think that a folding reformer can sustain a heavy usage in a commercial studio? 🤦🏼‍♀️And to make things worse, they often fill their classes with instructors whose training is just a quick weekend course or, at most, a few short weeks of training. This barely covers what's needed to properly guide people through the complex and often tough world of Pilates. I hope that this current craze will soon finish. Maybe then, people will realise that there's a much deeper, more important meaning to Pilates than just achieving that elusive "Pilates princesses" look, usually shown with perfectly posed post-workout matcha lattes and pretty pastel activewear. Once again social media has f*ck up a perfectly functional method that has existed since World War 1. Joseph Pilates would literally roll in his grave knowing what the modern world had made of his method. This isn't just a trend; it's a practice that needs respect, skilled teaching and an understanding of the body standing in front of you. That's it, rant over. Call me Pilates Karen, I'm so done with this sh*t. Check the full article on

✨ Celebrating 10 years of my home Pilates studio, Wellebeing Body & Mind ✨

A decade ago, when the main Pilates studio I worked for sadly closed its doors, I took a leap of faith and opened my own space at the back of my garden (waaaay before garden offices were a thing, and waaaay before the reformer became fashionable or Instagrammable 😏). My studio isn’t flashy, but I absolutely love it.

What began as a small idea in my spare bedroom has grown into a sanctuary where I’ve had the joy of teaching one-to-one and duet sessions every day.

I don’t usually blow my own trumpet 🎺 … but after 15 years of teaching, a few injuries, and a former career in professional dance, I can confidently say I know my s . 🤪

I love working with real people living real lives — from the 70-year-olds wanting to stay fit for their grandchildren, to the office guys with tight hamstrings and sore backs.

It’s incredibly rewarding to see how strong and capable my clients have become over the years, and how much trust they continue to place in my teaching. Thank you for your trust, your consistency, and for allowing me to do what I love every single day.

Finding the right studio, and the right Pilates teacher with experience and a reputable qualification can make all the difference. Someone who understands your body, your needs, and how to guide you safely and effectively. That’s what true Pilates teaching is about. 🙏🏼

✨ National Making Life Beautiful Day ✨

While I was sitting in the garden enjoying a quiet summer evening I got curious and ended up asking Google what's today's international special occasion. Well...

Every year on June 11th, we celebrate the people, moments, and little things that make our life more beautiful. 💛

Whether you're creating, supporting others, sharing love, or simply showing up with intention, you're adding beauty to the world. Every small gesture is always appreciated. Because beauty isn’t just seen, it’s also felt.

I had the pleasure to work with the amazing and talented Sara from while I was taking a break in Italy last week, and I'd like to share a couple of shots she took. Oh my beautiful beautiful homeland! Thank you Sara, and thank you to one my most treasured friend Giulia for the beautiful gift.


Amazing what a break by the sea can do 🦀🌊 Thank you Norfolk, it was just 👌🏼 Happy Easter 🐰🐣🦀
