I started my career as a group exercise instructor back in 2010 teaching Spin, Water Aerobics, Body Balance, Legs, Bums and Tums in gym environments'.

I continued to do this for 7 years until I decided to add Pilates to my repertoire of qualifications'.....I fell in love with teaching group exercise all over again! Pilates is such a superb discipline to learn and teach which helped grow my understanding, you don't always need to do high intensity exercise for a good workout.

​

Over the years lots of Water Aerobic participants would regularly comment how they loved doing classes with me but were unable to do studio type classes due to various reason, injuries/joint replacements for example. Lots expressed their concern for the need to get on and off the floor in classes such as Pilates which they are unable to do.

This got me thinking that something must be out there which is more accessible and inclusive to connect the gap between studio classes and people who feel water exercise is their only option.

I discovered Paracise, a low intensity movement to fabulous music class with no floorwork. AMAZING! Just what I felt was missing from the fitness industry. I qualified and haven't looked back since.

​

During the pandemic lots of gym chains decided they were going to reinvent the group exercise timetables and deliver their own programs rather then used Licensed ones like Les Mills for instance. This helped me take the decision to try and branch out into communities a little more rather then just gyms. 

​

I absolutely love teaching and offering classes to suit different abilities allowing people to just do what they can and feel good about it! 

I hope to welcome you to one of my classes soon.......
