Classes
One to one sessions:
You may wish to attend a one to one session prior to joining a matwork class. These are available at a cost of £35 for one hour and are conducted at Downend Assembly Hall on a Wednesday lunchtime or Warmley Community Centre on a Monday evening or Saturday morning.
Enrolment:
You will be asked to complete an enrolment form in order to highlight any physical needs and have exercises adapted to your needs as appropriate. Please contact me for a form.
You should view the course as you would a holiday rental or college course; you effectively buy the block. If you cannot attend a class it cannot be credited. However, since I aim to be fair, I do offer 'catch up'. This means that you can attend another class at another time when someone else is absent. Not all teachers offer catch up and some charge a membership fee on top of the course. This is my living so I ask that you be as fair to me as I endeavour to be to you.
Matwork Group Classes:
The exercises are performed laying on your back, front, side, on hands and knees and standing. Alternative postures can be provided for those that cause difficulty to allow full participation. A sanitised bodymat is supplied. Classes are a maximum of 10 people to ensure personal attention and social distancing. Classes generally run in six week blocks, costing £49.

About Me
I have been working in the field of complementary therapy since 1998. As a Pilates instructor, clinical hypnotherapist and massage therapist I have a keen interest in the wellbeing of others.
Through all my work I seek to instill confidence in my clients, working with them to improve the function of their mind and body. I trained with Body Control Pilates, the market leader in this area, and adhere to National Standards. I am a member of the CNHC (the government's regulating body), Complementary Therapists Association and a Fellow of National Council of Hypnotherapy.
I run Rejuvenation Retreats at the gorgeous Penny Brohn Centre in Pill three times a year, usually spring and autumn. Places are very limited and go quickly but do talk to me if you are interested.
I am a Level 4 Specialist Pilates Instructor in back pain.
