Growing up, I always loved sport and physical exercise, I was up for any
challenge, so when I had my first son I presumed I could get back to it right
away. Unfortunately, at the time, despite all my physical activity, I had a lack
of understanding about the way the body works and repairs itself. I tried to get
back into all the activities I had done, and realised that I wasn’t able to do
this without pain and discomfort. It just didn’t feel good. After the birth of
my second son, I ended up needing a hernia operation. At that point my sister
recommended Pilates - that is when everything changed for me. I understood why
my body hurt. It was so simple: I wasn’t balanced. It was such a basic concept
that I had never really been taught before in all my training. Very quickly, I
was able to get back to the activities I loved with little or no pain! Inspired
by this new knowledge, I started learning as much as I could. My passion grew
the more I learned and I ended up training to become a Pilates Level 2
instructor on the Mat and the Reformer. I had to share what I had learnt with
others. I enjoy working with everyone, from experienced practitioners to people
trying Pilates for the first time. Recently I have worked with elite sports
teams and, having been a high-level sportsperson myself in the past, I am
realizing the true potential that there is to help people of all physical
abilities make stronger connections with their bodies. The more we understand
about our own bodies, the more we can work towards living the most active,
healthy and pain free lives that we can.
