my story so far…

Pilates has been a part of my life since I was fourteen, I have used it to rehabilitate from surgery whilst at The Royal Ballet School, to improve my posture as an actor in London’s West End and to support my body through three pregnancies.

I have been running Pilates classes in Sevenoaks since 2006 and I have taught for various clinics in the area as well as teaching classes for Sweaty Betty.

Originally trained by Stott Pilates I went on to complete over 700 hours of training with Alan Herdman (the man who first bought Pilates to the U.K in the 1970’s) before teaching alongside him at his Marble Arch studio for four years.

In 2025, twenty years after my first mat pilates training course, ten years after I qualified with Alan Herdman, and the year I turn fifty, I embarked on a fifteen month long Classical Pilates Training course, something I have wanted to do for quite some time.

I will be qualifying as a Third Generation Pilates teacher later this year, having trained with Amy Kellow at Everybody Pilates. Amy trained with Jay Grimes who himself trained with Joseph Pilates and taught alongside Mr Pilates in his New York studio.

Classical Pilates is about teaching the way Joseph Pilates taught using all of the equipment that he created. Pilates is a Method, it is about the intention behind the exercise, the connections and the way the exercise evolves around the whole studio.

Channon Studios is the only fully equipped Classical Pilates Studio in the area full of the highest quality, most respected Classical equipment from Legacy Pilates and Gratz Pilates.

Always learining…

To be a good teacher you need to be a good student. With so many amazing Pilates teachers in the world there is always more to learn and experience in order to keep challenging myself and my clients.

I am already booked onto a year long Master Mentor Course with Everybody Pilates starting in 2027 and have various workshops lined up with a variety of inspirational teachers.

Other Qualifications…

I am a qualified Nutritional Therapist having studied for three years at CNM, as well as being a fully qualified Health Coach, Meditaion Teacher and Reiki Master.
