About my lessons
My goal is that you leave the session feeling better than when you arrived!
Every day is different and every body is different. I aim to meet clients where they are at any given time to achieve their own goals; whether that is to move with less pain or discomfort, build strength and mobility or to help maximise their own potential and performance. I endeavour to design classes that challenge the whole body in an interesting and inspiring way.

About myself
I discovered Pilates after suffering an injury from running and bad posture. Once I felt the transformative power of the method I was instantly hooked! I have been practicing Pilates for more than a decade now and gradually moved away from the corporate world where I was working as an accountant, to teach Pilates and I have never regretted it! I love what I do and I feel honored to be a trusted companion for individuals on the journey towards improving their movement and living a life with less pain and restrictions.
I am a mother of three young children, originally from the UK and moved to Tokyo at the start of 2020 from Shanghai where I was teaching Pilates and Barre.

About my lesson
I love the human body and will love to learn about yours. Having self-awareness of your body and learning how to care for it will positively impact your daily life (self-maintenance). In my class, we will release fascia, muscles, and restore proper bone alignment for the best performance and long-term results. I love meeting new people and will provide an open and fun environment for both Japanese and English speakers from all backgrounds. I believe that a hard-working class full of smiles and laughter is the key to maintaining a healthy body and mind.
