1 who is the face behind the label? 

I’m a completely single parent to my 18 year old son Sammy & proud of the parent I am. I have a deep love for the sea, plunging in the sea all year round, walking by the sea and in nature, sitting in nature to be, rest & journal, a passion of mine, love coffee shops, cosy family time at home & saunas on the beach! 

2. What’s your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)?

Helping you reduce back pain to feel good, but it’s much more than that, the Mindfulness Pilates 121 programmes & classes include meditation, mindset, positive affirmations & 1 minute journaling, teaching you how to incorporate Pilates into your daily lifestyle & also to help with your mental health, wellbeing & happiness too. 
The stress management teaching is for individuals & teams, whether that’s a law firm, corporate, teacher, school or nurse. The stress to calm tools are 1 minute each or 7 minutes in total, they are do-able & effective for stress management, better mental health & wellbeing. 

I can help you…

Why?

Help you feel better. Help you move better and do more in your life. Even if you have health problems, chronic fatigue I can even help you with a sitting 121 or sitting class. 

My classes are for ALL levels of fitness and even those struggling with their health & all ages

I give people their confidence back in their own bodies and minds. 

If you can’t do something, it doesn’t matter, I will find you a comfortable alternative & teach you to say well done to what you can do, accept where you are & find a new quality of life 

I  ALWAYS adapt - make people feel special in class. This is important to me, love doing that for people. That’s gold for people

3. What time does your typical day start? 

8am -2pm is the main teaching & meetings of the day, with 10 classes a week, business networking, writing books, radio & podcast interviews, articles to write. 

I then go out to play, a walk in a park, a cappuccino & journaling time, see a friend for a plunge in the sea or something to get moving & rest. 

Then back to work lying down with the laptop! Sometimes another interview 

4. Full English or yoghurt and muesli? 

It’s a pack of celery juiced! Followed by chocolate porridge & blueberries 

5. What drives you? 

There is a spark of inspiration and determination which drives me & am constantly learning & researching different ways & new tools to help with mental health & happiness. I like designing things to help with making a difference to your wellbeing, physical, mental health & happiness, which of course is for the soul & family life, work & having a harmonious home is of paramount importance. 

If I can bring some extra sparkle and happiness to someone’s day and help reduce some of their aches & pains that’s a good day. 

My son Sammy drives me too, to be the best Mum & role model I can be for him too

To be a role model, practicing what I teach. 

6. What are you most proud of in your business? 

That after over 25 years of teaching that I’m more inspired than ever & that it’s a more rich & profound experience working with me now, you’ll gain multiple benefits. I was so proud of book 1, book 2 I talk to angels was so proud, like a Wimbledon Trophy seeing it in a bookshop & Waterstones for the first time, exciting becoming a published Author & having a team, I jumped for JOY. Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes writing the foreword to the book was amazing too. 

To have helped many clients become pain free or reduce their pains & live better quality of life 

To be following my guidance & inspiration with the next series of books am very proud, it’s been so tough but now living a dream lifestyle & come through the light at the end of the tunnel. With mental health it can be a dark tunnel at times and my wish is our books the stress to calm series help many with their mental health, wellbeing & stress management at home & work, life doesn’t have to be as tough, try our stress to calm tools to feel & see the difference 

So the next 3 books with my co-Author Janey Lee Grace are Stress to Calm in 7 minutes for Lawyers, then for teachers & nurses too…..

7. What bit of advice would you give your younger self starting out? 

Do not get married, ask for help, say when somethings wrong, do not be a workaholic. Read divorcing a narcissist. 

8. What brings you to be doing what you’re doing today? 

After studying for a degree in Sports Science at the University of Brighton, travelled the world, in Bondi Beach, Sydney discovered Pilates exercise after suffering from back pain. It helped. Then after a major road traffic accident in Cairns, Northern Queensland, had an operation & mental health recovery & re-habilitated from the operation, then trained in London to teach Pilates & had a successful six figure business and two Pilates in person studios for 16 years in Hertfordshire and helped hundreds of clients. After the rock bottom of divorce & childbirth (nearly died). Was brave, set a goal to re-locate to Dorset & started from scratch, now teach on zoom successfully with clients gaining the same benefits.

12. Perfectionist? 

I try my best.

13. If your business was a song what would it be? 

Definitely chariots of fire 🔥 

14. What would you like people to say about your brand when they recommend it to friends? 

It’s worth it, wish they’d started younger, that yes it helps their aches & pains but it also improves the quality of life, mental health and happiness, they LOVE coming along & willing to practice daily too the tools, so they are self empowered too.
