There are many of you here that don’t know me personally, so thought I should have a little bit “about me” feature on the grid…
✨ I trained as a professional dancer at London Contemporary Dance School and pre-pandemic was performing in operas all over the world.
✨ While I’ve always taught dance alongside performing, the pandemic forced me to take my classes online and gave me the chance to take the time to qualify as a Pilates instructor.
✨ When performance opportunities arose again, the community I’d built up online was too important to take a backseat and so we’ve simply never stopped!
✨ I am still riding this online wave with many loyal students who have been with me from the very beginning and to my excitement, my clientele continues to grow!
✨ I teach group Pilates matwork online, as well as one-to-one sessions and dance classes for over 60’s. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please send them my way via email: [email protected]
I will be posting my weekly schedule of group sessions here soon, in the hope of letting more people know when they can join me on the mat or on their home dance floors!

We had a wonderful time dancing (and Pilates-ing!) in Bristol - so much so that I’m running another retreat in Bridgnorth, Shropshire during the first week of September, starting on Bank Holiday Monday 🤗
Places are being snapped up fast, so if you’d like more info, drop me an email: [email protected] ✨
✨ A few spaces have opened up ✨
I’ll be delivering a dance & Pilates retreat in Bristol, 16th-19th Feb, held in this extraordinary venue, The Mount Without @themountwithout_impermanence
We’ll spend each morning working on core strength and alignment in a 60mins Pilates session, followed by 90mins of contemporary technique.
The afternoons will be left open for exploring the city, with plans for a walking tour of Bristol arranged for one afternoon and an opportunity to visit Bath another. I will also be offering private sessions every day if increasing the intensity of your physical practice is what you desire or you’re very welcome to simply let things settle, with time for yourself.
This is a carefully held retreat for dancers who enjoy taking time, being guided with care and working in a beautiful, resonant environment.
I’ve had a couple of last-minute changes, which means there are now a few places available.
Feel free to DM me with any questions or email me at [email protected] if you’d like to book your space.

✨ SOLD OUT ✨ My September Pilates & Dance Retreat in France is now fully booked!
This is the first time I’m mentioning it publicly, as all the spaces were snapped up by my inner network of clients before I had the chance to share it more widely. Their trust and enthusiasm means the world to me ✨
We’ll be returning to this beautiful Château in Poitiers, France where this moment was captured last year - dancing in the grounds of the winery where we’re based, surrounded by sunshine, movement and vines!
If you’d like to be the first to hear about future retreats, message me to be added to my mailing list - they tend to fill up quickly and I’d love to share this experience with more of you 💛

Feeling so fortunate that my work allows me to continue teaching from wherever I am in the world ☺️
Over the past month, I’ve been delivering a slightly reduced timetable from the Southern Hemisphere, and it’s been an absolute joy. Balancing work and life in this way is something I couldn’t be more grateful for!
