Does it feel good when we judge, criticize, blame, shame and put other people down? NEVER PUT OTHERS DOWN-EMPOWER AND INSPIRE INSTEAD! As a Pilates teacher, we have been given the greatest gift ever. Everyone that we meet brings us a gift in life. There are no negatives without positives, everything happens for our growth, [...]
Whatever you want to call it, twisting, turning, rotating, or spiralling, any sort of rotation is the key catalyst of all the synovial joints in the body. Like a rusty hinge we may become stuck or restricted in places. This feels like a block physically and mentally. Like we would use WD40 to loosen a [...]
I’ve just been to watch the spectacular shapes produced by the glass blower at 'St.Helens World of Glass’. The amazing glass blower spent five years apprenticeship training in Poland. The boiling hot glass if not handled properly would disintegrate the entire arm if mishandled. The heat alone from the kiln like ovens blew to the [...]
Like many of us, I have drastically increased my screen time during lockdown – for me, it’s been through teaching and studying. I’ve noticed a deterioration in my eyesight and have resorted to reading glasses. But am I treating the root cause or the symptom? Now I am not anti-glasses as you have seen me [...]
When you go on holiday, you have a clear destination in sight. There may be delays, cancellations, missed flights, but you know where you want to go and hopefully you will get there.

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 [...]
We all have values, priorities and what is important to us in life. When we do something we love, we have energy, vitality and we are engaged. When we do something low priority, we feel overwhelmed and drained, as we feel what we are doing is not important to us or has little value. How [...]
“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 [...]
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 [...]
