ABOUT
My mission is to help people find joy through movement. I remind people to listen to their body and move in a way that feels good to them.
As a child, I was quiet and sporty. As a teenager I discovered running to help me feel better, concentrate in lessons and process thoughts. I played Junior England Lacrosse, gained a BA hons in Sport Studies at Northumbria University and continued my education with Premier Training becoming a Personal Trainer and Massage Therapist alongside an array of fitness certificates in step, spin and aerobics.
Women's wellbeing, health and community
My focus continues to be in the world of women's wellbeing and through Burrell Education, I am a certified peri to post menopause instructor. CIMPSA is the professional body for the UK's sport and physical activity sector and I am a member.
I have spent time working within the clinical team at www.orchardbarnhealth.com, I have recently worked as a Regional Operations Manager for Vivify, bringing schools, health and communities together and I am proud to be a Friend of findraclothing.com.
I love my family, the sea and I still love running, when I feel the urge, through the seasons.
Pilates & Strala yoga teacher
I certified as a Pilates teacher with Michael King at the Pilates Institute in London and ran a successful Personal Training business in London creating retreats in Sweden, France, London and Greece. I moved to Whitby with my family and set up a Pilates Studio by the sea.
Through a personal need to slow down, I discovered Strala Yoga. I loved the simplicity of this form of yoga and felt the benefits in myself and in my every day, I became a certified 200hrs guide. I continued to explore energy healing and certified in RASA Reiki first and second degree through the wonderful Di Wilson at The Healing Touch in Staintondale near Scarborough.
Yoga means “unite” I believe that when we slow down, listen, feel and move, we connect to ourselves, nature and the people around us. I am a 200hrs Strala Yoga Guide and will continue my training with Strala.
