Hi, I’m Jen.

The majority of my adult career has been spent working in speech and language therapy, supporting children and young people to communicate effectively. It was in this career that I fell in love with teaching.

Over the years, I have always been active, trying lots of forms of exercise, including boxing, yoga, spin fit, and running, but when I found Pilates, something clicked, and I totally fell in love with it. The idea that I could work my body and mind without totally exhausting myself was genuinely a new concept for me — and I was hooked.
Fast forward a few years with herniated discs and hysterectomy surgery, and I found my passion and respect for Pilates growing and growing. Pilates helped me prepare my body for major surgery, supported my recovery, gave me confidence to move again, and continues to help me understand my ever-changing body. I knew I needed to put my teaching skills into helping others discover the amazing power of Pilates. I jumped headfirst into my teacher training and now have the privilege of teaching what I really love and believe in — full-time!

I’ve also set up the first men-only Pilates class on the Island, fondly named Men’s Club. While men are very welcome in all of my classes, I know it can sometimes feel intimidating to step into a space that’s mostly female. Men’s Club is a friendly, supportive group full of laughs and banter, where men can work on strength, mobility, and injury prevention, but also enjoy the sense of camaraderie that comes from training together. It’s about building confidence, having a laugh, and discovering how Pilates can boost performance in both sport and everyday life.

In my classes, I share as much of my knowledge as possible while keeping a strong focus on the classical Pilates principles . You’ll experience a mixture of original repertoire alongside more dynamic movements, designed to challenge, energise and support you. A class with me will always be full of fun, but also purpose and progression. Whatever stage you are at with your Pilates journey, I can’t wait to help you build strength, mobility, and a deeper mind-body connection. I promise you’ll leave feeling better than when you arrived — fully supported, encouraged, and appreciated. 💚
