I am a full-time pilates and karate instructor and founder of Lifestyle Pilates.
After undergoing two spinal surgeries In 2011 and 2012, I thought I was broken beyond repair. When my surgeon recommended pilates, I was skeptical about it's benefits. However, I was struggling to rehabilitate so I swallowed my pride and gave it a try.
Pilates has rejuvenated my life and helped me achieve my lifelong ambition of becoming Europen and World Karate Champion (2016/2017). Ever since my first class, I have become passionate about pilates, the human body and helping others unlock their full potential.
It has been a challenge, but one that has taught me the importance of never giving up on my dreams, dedication and trusting in the process. I credit my success to the principles pilates has taught me and I truly believe everyone can benefit from what it has to offer.
I am a qualified Level 3 Body Control Pilates instructor, and my journey began over five years ago. From the age of five, I was an elite gymnast, developing a deep passion for movement. This led me to earn my Level 1 Gymnastics coaching qualification, where I gained valuable experience before shifting my focus to my career.
At one point, I found myself stuck in the cycle of work, eat, sleep, repeat—missing the active lifestyle I once had. The gym and fitness classes lacked the direction I craved, until a conversation with my dad led me to Pilates. From my first class, I was hooked. It reignited my passion for movement, challenged my body and mind, and gave me a newfound appreciation for strength and mobility.
Now, as a qualified instructor, Pilates continues to inspire me, and I want to help others experience the same confidence, strength, and freedom in their bodies. Our Pilates studio is a peaceful and welcoming space, designed to help you relax and focus on your practice. We have state-of-the-art equipment and a variety of classes to suit all levels and interests.
Through personal experience of spinal surgeries, gymnastics coaching, elite karate and pilates qualifications, our knowledge will help you move forwards with confidence.
With dedication and understanding, we will reignite your passion for freedom of movement.
