✨Me and my Pilates journey✨

You may think as a Pilates teacher I don’t get injured but in fact it’s the very reason I started Pilates in the first place!🙃

As a dancer I used to pick up lots of dance related injuries; shin splints, sprained ankles, knee problems you name it! In 2013 I was in a car crash where I suffered from a whiplash injury and my back was never really the same again. I was then advised by my physiotherapist to start Pilates as part of my rehabilitation program✨

I started Pilates with Liz Synnott] (my ballet and jazz teacher at the time 🩰) and I officially caught the Pilates bug! I’ll always be so grateful to Liz Liz Synnott] who picked me up both physically and emotionally at the time💕. I loved how Pilates enabled me to still move while I was injured and how each exercise could be tailored around my specific injury. I finally found an exercise program that worked for me!✨

In 2020 I enrolled in the Comprehensive Teacher Training Program at and I haven’t looked back since! I only wish I found Pilates sooner in my dance training (imagine how many injuries I could have prevented🤦🏼‍♀️)

9 years later I’m still learning🌱about my body and my pesky sciatica/back problems with the help of but I wouldn’t have it any other way! My injuries have taught me how I can help my clients. After all “Some 16 million adults — 8 percent of all adults — experience persistent or chronic back pain, and as a result are limited in certain everyday activities” - https://hpi.georgetown.edu/backpain/ 🙈

It’s really hard to stay positive when you suffer with chronic back pain and it can seem endless. When I get bogged down with my pain I try to remember what I CAN do✨and how Pilates still empowers me to move!
