My first career was as an early childhood teacher for 7 years in the United States. I loved working with children and besides a passion for tennis, I also enjoyed taking pilates classes.  I moved to London with my husband and two girls in 2006.  I then decided to combine my love of pilates and my teaching background and I became a pilates instructor.  My training took place in 2007 and I then became certified as an instructor in matwork with Body Control Pilates.  I am a member of their Association and a member of the Register of Exercise Professionals.  I am also fortunate to continue my love of working with children and currently work as an assistant in classes at Belleville Primary School.

My love for movement has extended over the past 25 years. I began training in classical ballet at the age of 4 and after 15 years of training under the Royal Academy of Dance I reluctantly had to give up ballet due to injury. Determined not to end my love of movement I explored dance and became involved in teaching, performing and competing in Hip Hop, Ceroc and Salsa. I was a dancer for the Diablo Dance Company, twice European Salsa Champions, and have been blessed to be able to perform in such countries as New Zealand, UK, Greece and Egypt.

With a Bachelors degree in Business, I moved from shipping and logistics to being an accountant, never really feeling like I was in my zone. It was only after 8 years that I realised the one thing I did enjoy at work! That was teaching my colleagues about fitness, nutrition and particularly Pilates! Every lunchtime I would run off to the gym next door and found that practicing regular Pilates had so many benefits for my posture, back pain and made me so much more aware of my body, something I always thought I knew a lot about as a dancer.

I love my job and helping people improve their healthy lifestyle. Helping you achieve your goals and eliminating your aches and pains is a satisfying motivation for me. I look forward to meeting you and working with you!

   I am born and brought up in London. I trained as an actress which entailed years of dance and movement classes and studying the human form - which has always been of intersest to me. I began attending Pilates classes a few years ago and really noticed how tall, upright, clear headed and energised i felt and looked - and this was straight after my first ever class! I was so surprised and happy at how just 1 hour of Pilates could make me feel. So i have never looked back.

 Having been attending Pilates classes since then, i one day decided to put my drama training and Pilates knowledge to use and embarked on becoming a Pilates instructor. I trained through Body Control and am now thrilled to be sharing the benefits of Pilates with my clients and tailor making the sessions for their individual needs - whether it be for back pain, posture, toning up, stress releif and so on. I find it so satisfying noticing and hearing about the difference Pilates has made to my clients lives.

 

I first discovered Pilates six years ago in Sweden, where I was studying sociology.  I was captivated by precision of movements and 100% concentration required during the sessions.   I became an enthusiast of Pilates quite quickly because it facilitated my ability to relax and centre my energy.  Thanks to Pilates, my figure and movements have become more graceful and I have strengthened my muscles at the same time.  Pilates became my remedy for managing my posture and energy following a sedentary job as a qualitative marketing researcher.

When I moved from Poland to London in 2010, I decided to take the opportunity of deepening my knowledge of Pilates by taking Pilates teacher training with Body Control Pilates.  As a Pilates teacher I help others to discover benefits offered by Pilates – I assure you that you will feel the difference!  I put every effort into preparing fun, safe and challenging sessions.
