My journey with Pilates began at the age of 14 when my ballet teacher at school recommended it.   By the age of 16 I joined Central School of Ballet in London to become a professional dancer.     From there on, Pilates started to form an integral part of my everyday training routine.     Even more so, It helped me recover from an ankle surgery in my first year.     At that point the Pilates studio became my new home and the power of Pilates really became very apparent.  After finishing the three year BA Hons Degree at Central with a 1st, I moved to Brussels for a further year of training with the internationally acclaimed classic ballet Brussels International Ballet School, that once was home of Maurice Béjart's dance company.     There I experienced new Pilates and training styles.     Following a successful round of auditions, I received a contract to dance with the Teatrul de Balet Sibiu in Romania and stayed with them for three years before joining Oklahoma City Ballet in the USA until COVID closed it all.     I was nevertheless lucky to have performed in my favourite ballet classics such as ‘Swan Lake’ and ‘The Nutcracker’ with both companies and went on tours as far as Korea.     Unfortunately I had to have surgery on my ankle once again and with COVID putting the performing arts to a standstill for a prolonged time, I decided to dive deeper into the Pilates world.   Initially I started with my Mat qualification with internationally recognised and renowned BASI Pilates.     Before finishing my training I was offered to be fast tracked and to started my teaching career earlier than scheduled.     Soon after a year of teaching mat work and experiencing the joy of helping people move and feel better I decided to complete the full Comprehensive training and now Pilates is my every day and all day passion.
