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 and TRE, bringing elements of Buteyko Breathing, and Hypopressives where needed. I am 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.
