Personal Training In Person in Birmingham or Virtual.
Optimal you. Transformation at a pace right for you, a bespoke way of moving addressing your concerns, issues or goals, using my specialist skills and experience within the private setting.
Healthy, optimal movement can be attained when you start with the belief that you can change your body and your way of thinking about how you move.
Having the support of a professional who really understands movement and what your body may need at any given time can help you move towards what you want to achieve. You don’t have to do it on your own, and you will be working with someone who has travelled a massive movement journey herself, who really understands what a movement journey can feel like at every level. I share my own story here.
Healthy movement is not about aesthetics but is about how you feel, and your ability to enjoy your life and living to the optimal level for you. Along the way you will notice you start feeling better, in your body, the way you hold or carry it through life, and those little aches and pains disappear.
If you do work in a specific modality it is about finding comfort in your own body so you understand how your body works, how movement feels that is healthy and how to make this work within a modality such as dance or Pilates.
It requires time and commitment from you at every level.
What I don’t have is a magic bullet to make every issue in your body go away, rarely did anything in your body happen overnight, but may have taken a while to appear. However, if you are prepared to give your time to improving yourself so much is possible and I continually discover more and more in my own body. Never say never!
What I do have is a very rare skills set, depth of experience and verified qualifications that allows me to work with you on a much deeper level within Pilates (all forms!), Buff Bones®, Franklin Method®, Somatic Movement using any or all of the different trainings I have. I continue to work with the very best teachers in the world in all aspects of my own movement work and my teaching, and this continues to feed into the work I do with you.
I currently work with a restricted number of clients to accomplish their goals which include...
Helping prepare the body for big life events such as pregnancy, manage perimenopause and getting ready for surgery to ensure greater success and a chance of faster recovery.
Working with clients if there is an issue within their body that needs further specialist support in movement, this could be following surgery or injury (after medical clearance) following diagnosis of a medical condition eg: osteoporosis, or pre or post natally, or with diastasis recti to establish a deeper mind body connection for function and movement and create states of peace and ease.
