About Emma
“I started my career over 20 years ago as a Fitness and Aerobics Instructor, sidestepping into the world of Health and Beauty and building up a foundation of qualifications in a cross section of specialisms, from Sports Massage to Waxing. I started attending Mat Pilates classes in 2010 and like many people, it was a longstanding back injury that lead me there. I had spent years having various treatments on my back which never proved completely satisfactory but I had heard about the benefits of Pilates and felt compelled to try it. Within weeks my back spasms had stopped and I felt stronger and free from pain. I felt leaner and taller too (at 5’1” that’s a big deal!). In 2015 I decided to expand my Pilates knowledge and train as a Level 3 Mat Pilates Instructor, gradually setting up classes with friends and friends of friends, and by the end of 2016 I was teaching 6 classes a week.
In 2017 I became a STOTT PILATES® trained Instructor in Mat and Reformer and now my class timetable is flourishing. Since then I have continued to expand my Pilates knowledge, taking courses in Ante/Post Natal Pilates, The Pink Ribbon Programme for Breast Cancer Rehabilitation and Pilates for Menopause, to name but a few. I regularly attend workshops and training, both in person and online to enhance my teaching. Continuing to learn and update my knowledge of the human body and how Pilates can enhance your physical and Mental wellbeing is essential to my journey as an Instructor.
