Meet Kate

I trained for over 1500 hours to qualify as a Comprehensive Pilates Foundation Teacher - the ‘gold standard’ of Pilates training. With a mix of anatomy and physiology theory, practical training, case studies and exams It qualifies me to work with a wide range of clients so that whatever your movement needs - I can help. ​

​​

​

I have experience working with children, teens and at the opposite end of the spectrum, octogenarians; clients living with Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s, Osteoporosis, Osteo Arthritis, Disc issues, those with scoliosis or hypermobility;  clients either waiting for or recovering from surgery such as discectomy, hip and knee replacements, as well as those with more general back issues. I teach  movement which will alleviate symptoms by building strength exactly where it is needed. This is never a generic Pilates Class - I use my depth of knowledge and teaching skills to adapt the work to whatever needs you may have.

​

A large number of clients I help are fit and well and simply want to move better – many are looking for a ‘stronger core’ - or have been told they need one - without necessarily understanding what that is! I can teach you. A big part of classes at Pilates at Kate’s is understanding your body, sensing which muscles are working and reducing excess unnecessary tension. 

​​

​

My approach is deeply grounded in Joe Pilates’ original principles of whole body health for life. You will gain physical strength and flexibility, but also experience the calm of a focussed hour of nourishing movement.

​

When teaching I work precisely and carefully, paying attention to your breath and alignment - it’s the details that make the difference in Pilates. And most of all, I pay attention to you - it is your body, your class and I aim to help you move in the best possible way.
