Welcome - meet our team!
Whether you’re a Pilates beginner or an enthusiastic fan, I’m glad you’re here! As a specialist physiotherapist, I know the value of paying attention to your body & mind. I founded PhysioPilates Academy because I believe there are so many ways we can improve our own health & wellbeing through exercise – if we are just taught well and shown how to prevent injury or make modifications to suit our needs.
