My movement journey began after a running injury that shifted my focus away from high‑intensity exercise and toward practices that supported both my mental and physical wellbeing. In 2014, I started exploring different styles of yoga and quickly realised how much better thoughtful, mindful movement made me feel.

For years, I worked as a self‑employed hairdresser, thriving on connection and conversation. Teaching movement felt like a natural extension of that, another way to support people. I qualified as a yoga teacher in March 2023, excited to share what had helped me so profoundly.

Just a few months later, in July 2023, I underwent my first hip replacement. It required major changes to my practice, and I embraced the process with the mantra accept and adapt. After rebuilding strength and confidence, I faced my second hip replacement in November 2025. Both experiences have deeply shaped the way I move, the way I teach, and the way I understand the body.

In 2024, I began my Pilates training, adding a new dimension to my movement education. Over time, Pilates became my primary passion, and I transitioned fully into teaching Pilates both mat and reformer, blending strength, mobility, and mindful awareness in every class.

I continue to attend weekly classes to explore my own movement and stay connected to being a student as well as a teacher. With two new hips and a wealth of lived experience, I’m committed to creating an inclusive movement environment where people of all abilities feel welcome. I truly believe movement is for EVERYBODY and every body, no exceptions.
