Your Body Holds the Key to Recovery

Gentle, holistic sessions blending Pilates and TRE to release stored tension, ease pain, and soothe your nervous system — helping you feel grounded, supported, and ready to move forward. 

This is a space where your story is heard, your body is honoured, and your healing can begin.

With over 30 years of experience in healthcare and movement, I bring a deep understanding of how the body heals. My background as a nurse in neurological rehabilitation and community nursing means I can support you with care that considers both your physical and emotional wellbeing.

​

Since 2000, I’ve been teaching Pilates and have worked with hundreds of clients to improve mobility, reduce pain, and feel stronger in their bodies. Today, I offer a unique blend of Clinical Pilates, TRE, Buteyko Breathing, and Hypopressives - available in person in Kent and London or online from the comfort of your home.

​​

My approach combines gentle Pilates and TRE to reconnect mind and body, calm your nervous system, and restore a sense of safety. By first using Pilates to ground you in your body and improve movement patterns, we prepare your system for the natural tremoring response of TRE - helping you release stored tension, reduce pain, and build resilience.

​

This work is about more than movement - it’s about reclaiming calm, creating better connection between body and mind, and learning to navigate life with more ease.

My Story

For over 20 years, I ran a thriving Pilates studio by the sea and loved the life I had built. When the pandemic hit, like so many others, I had to quickly adapt - moving classes online, building a video library, and later running hybrid sessions with clients both in the studio and on-screen. It was stressful, but we made it work.

​

During this time, my personal life was turned upside down. My partner suffered a major stroke and required open-heart surgery, spending months in hospital. My studio closed as I became his full-time carer, supporting his recovery at home with very little outside help. Alongside this, I experienced the menopause, was diagnosed with ADHD, and lost my closest friend to suicide.

​

Those years were incredibly challenging and left me physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. With the support of my counsellor, I made the difficult decision to take time away and start rebuilding my own life.

​

In my recovery, I found TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises), which became a lifeline. It helped me release deep stress and begin to feel safe in my own body again. Inspired by my own healing, I trained to offer TRE professionally, combining it with my Pilates expertise to support others navigating pain, stress, and trauma.

Today, my mission is simple: to help you find your own path back to calm, safety, and confidence - and to never feel as lost or alone as I once did.

The Transformations Made

I learnt about TRE seven years ago and thought it sounded ridiculous.The opportunity to try it in Deal and confirm my prejudice was too good to pass up. How wrong I was. Emma and Sarah are patient and enthusiastic teachers and TRE is a life changing discipline. I would recommend everyone to try this and like me , have your cynicism shaken out of you , literally. Honestly give it a go you’ve nothing to lose but a lot of trauma and stress. After sessions I sleep better , I’m more focused and my energy levels are so much higher. Thank you Emma and Sarah for introducing this to me.
