I didn't plan to specialise in osteoporosis.
But I'm so glad I did.
My background isn't what you might expect. Before I became a Pilates teacher, I spent ten years as a professional dancer. Movement has always been my language, but it wasn't until I stopped dancing in 2020 and stepped into the world of rehabilitation that everything clicked into place.
I trained in Pilates mat work back in 2017, and went on to complete my full comprehensive training, 650 hours, with Alan Herdman in 2021. I specialised in rehabilitation from the start, but nothing could have prepared me for the moment I inherited a bone health class and found myself face to face with a group of women with osteoporosis, wondering if I was doing the right thing.
So I did what any determined person does when they're scared, I went back to the research. I read paper after paper, adapted my teaching, questioned everything I thought I knew about Pilates, and slowly built an approach that was genuinely effective for women with osteoporosis. Not just safe, effective.
That first group of ladies changed everything. Watching them grow stronger, more confident and more at ease in their bodies was all the motivation I needed to keep going.
Built on Research. Proven in Practice.
Today I work with the London Osteoporosis Clinic, serve as an Ambassador for the Global Osteoporosis Foundation, and hold specialist osteoporosis Pilates training from the Australian Institute of Pilates and Physiotherapy. Going against the grain isn't always comfortable, but when you see the results in the women you work with, it's always worth it.
