About Alex

My Pilates journey started after I was diagnosed with scoliosis (curvature of the spine) as a teenager and underwent several operations to fuse a large part of my spine with rods. I was introduced to Pilates by my physio and it became part of my early rehab - which then developed into a love for Pilates in my adult life.

Pilates, on the mat and using the apparatus, has had a huge impact on my physical and mental wellbeing. To such an extent that it led me to want to help others experience positive movement every day.

I work with my clients, largely on a one-to-one basis, identifying their needs and developing a personal movement programme whether that be for rehab, athletic training or general well being.

We use the suite of Pilates apparatus (reformer, tower, chair) as well as the mat and smaller equipment (eg spine corrector, blocks and balls).

If you are hoping that Pilates will help with your pain management, I can provide information on how it has helped me over the years. I have true empathy with all chronic pain sufferers and my goal is, over time, to help you improve your quality of life.

I have lived in and around South Woodford for most of my life and love that my job enables me to meet and help other local people. I am a mum to two children, plus our newest addition - a puppy. They all keep me very busy and active, something that would have been a daily struggle without Pilates in my life.

My Pilates Training

I completed my comprehensive (mat and apparatus) Pilates training with Polestar Pilates. 

I am a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher and a member of the Pilates Teachers Association.

I have my Level 3 in Pre and Post Natal Training, which qualifies me to teach Pilates safely to mums at a time when their bodies and minds are experiencing great change.

I am trained to teach Pilates to children and have an enhanced DBS.
