I am a clinical Pilates instructor, movement specialist, and gymnastics coach with four decades of experience across sports coaching, coach education, rehabilitation, massage, and environmental education.
My Pilates training with the Australian Institute of Physiotherapy and Pilates (APPI) began in 2017 and am a member of CIMSPA and EMD UK. I love learning and don’t think that will ever change.
I am interested in movement in all its forms, healthy communities, healthy ageing, reducing fall risk, and Pilates as a non-invasive research tool. I am fascinated by the potential of taking movement beyond the traditional studio – into gymnastics centres, into cultural and work settings.
This autumn, that curiosity is taking me to Oslo, to work with Nordre Aker Turnforening at the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences on a small pilot ‘Breakfast Club’ for older adults.
I believe in patient, consistent work. In celebrating small steps. In staying playful and curious. Outside of all this, I am happiest with family and close to water.
I welcome conversations that spark curiosity and connection. Coffee and cake always help.
