As the words of Belinda Carlisle’s song goes : ‘Heaven is a place on Earth’. This week I had an amazing opportunity to teach Belinda Carlisle face to face whilst on her UK tour. I feel Pilates is an essential tool for all of us, as this can be used in many different ways. For [...]
My question today : “Is illness (physical, mental, emotionally and spiritually) acting as a feedback loop, to let us know we are not perceiving both sides of the events in our life”? We all have an intrinsic capacity to heal. I have a thirst for understanding the healing process and what it involves. Everything in life [...]
“I can’t do that because XXXX will happen". These beliefs will prevent you from taking action. Every decision that we make comes from our Amygdala (Amygdala is the integrative centre for emotions, emotional behaviour, and motivation. The amygdala is commonly thought to form the core of a neural system for processing fearful and threatening stimuli). Our [...]
As we enter 2023 once again it is that annual moment were your past and future arrows meet in time. A time to question your life, your habits, your core values, your choices, your relationships with the self and others. We make endless New year resolutions, only to fade away a few days, weeks or [...]
Have you found yourself criticising and judging others? Perhaps family and friends irritate you? Rather than finding fault, find the attributes that they are good in. Remember everyone’s behaviour reflects where they are and how they are dealing with life and their daily challenges. Every time you go to say something unkind about others, change [...]
As 2023 approaches, we all have New year’s resolutions in our bodies, business, relationships and careers. My experience is that most of the decisions we make are not sustained long term.

Perhaps not as dynamic as the great Houdini, but enough to invoke question and change. We cannot change the past but we can change the present moment and our future. Are you a victim or your history or a master of your destiny? Becoming your most authentic self requires you to leave your mark on [...]
Yesterday I presented at World Mental Health Day at Liverpool Central library. There were many exhibitors with a variety of backgrounds and solutions to problems. We cannot change all of our problems, but we can develop the tools to cope better in life and have better outcome solutions. Anxiety and depression are the number one [...]
According to NICE (National Institute for health and Care Excellence) FEB 2022: Low back pain is common [Palmer et al, 2000; National Collaborating Centre for Primary Care, 2009; Campbell and Colvin, 2013]: Up to 60% of the adult population can expect to have low back pain at some time in their life. A UK population-based cross-sectional study of [...]
Over the summer I have not closed my studio for holidays, like many others have. I have been constantly running rehab, one to one or semi private sessions. I've had a variety of clients ranging from sports performance to chronic pain. It can be isolating working alone or not having a peer group moving in [...]
