✨July✨

July has been a long month 😂

Lots of running, 2 weeks holiday where I hardly took a photo. Beaches, hills, lakes, forests. It’s not all sunshine, I’m learning that life never is but grabbing hold of joy and creating it where I can helps me cope.

Life can be beautiful.
Humans can be wonderful.
The world isn’t all scary.

Happy August everyone
💚

My wonderful friend Jemima died on May 23rd.

She was silly, weird, hilarious, had a child like curiosity and was unbelievably cool. She boasted about her friend and was so excited when she saw them succeed in life.

I loved how she mixed so seamlessly her love for a party and being ferrel with wholesome activities such as foraging or wildflower walks. Animals and nature were her specialist subject.

Growing up I wanted to be her and that feeling never stopped. She was artistic and scientific. Generous and kind. She had a strong moral compass and wasn’t scared to use her voice to speak up if she witnessed an injustice. Would defend anyone she felt had been treated unfairly.

She meant a lot to a lot of different people. I love her and I am broken hearted that she is not here.

This wasn’t meant to happen to Jemima,

She was one of the good ones.

She suffered so much, it was hard to watch.

After years of going to the dr with symptoms she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer (Low Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma) in February 2023. My sister articulates this much better than me and I would encourage you to read her articles substack https://substack.com/

I am angry she’s not here and about her treatment.

Scared about this happening to someone else. Someone else could be left unheard and suffering like our gorgeous Jemima.

I am running Kielder marathon on October 2025 in memory of Jemima. My lovely friend Megan and I are raising money for Ovacome - an ovarian cancer charity, one Jemima liked… In the hope that Jemima’s story can be heard and that tests and treatment in the future means that other people don’t have to go though this.

I entered the marathon before Jemima died and talked to her about it. She always thought long distance running was bonkers and would bring up my running often when we were in groups of people, I was always embarrassed, she made me feel like I was doing something amazing….
She did that for a lot of people, I know I’m not special in that but she made me feel special.

✨POCKETS OF JOY✨

I have a lot going on, in work, in life…. and sometimes it’s really overwhelming.

The things that keep me feeling ok are the pockets of joy I create and can notice through the day.

So some of the little things in my studio that make me feel warm and fuzzy are …

✨Plants and colour combos

✨Having the doors open on a sunny day

✨How the light come in though the windows and highlights objects

✨My massage space

✨Good smells

✨COFFEE

✨NEW STUDIO DAY✨

I’ve been quiet on my social media recently.

Life is busy, I’ve been working with clients and at the same time, behind the scenes moving my studio into a new space.

Me and moved into our space in early 2023, thinking we would be able to easily share the space. Never could we have imagined how busy we would both get.

I am still working out of , just across the hall.

There’s more new and exciting things to come but I will keep a lid on that for now!

Can’t wait to welcome you into my space.

✨WHAT KIND OF PILATES TEACHER AM I?✨

So I have recently had lots of new people in class or for private sessions who have been a bit surprised by my style of teaching. They have said they tried Pilates before and found the teacher to very scary, militant or made them generally feel a bit crap about themselves.

Pilates teachers gets a funny rep for being really strict. I’ve been to classes like that and I know lots of people who love that style of teaching.

That just isn’t me.

So what is me?

What should you expect if you work with me?

Well I’m the type of teacher who ….

💚 Wants you to choose your own modifications

🤩 Builds your confidence

🤓 Loves to learn

😅 Tells craps jokes then laughs at them

✨I’m the kind of teacher that treats everyone as an individual, works with all ages from teenagers to people close to triple digits, tries to bring some joy into exercise and constantly thinking about my clients, their goals or needs and what steps we should to take to achieve them.

Maybe my clients and classes will have other things to say…. 😅💚✨
