I studied for four years at Liverpool university obtaining an Honours Degree in Nursing. Since then I specialised as a district nurse where I have worked in Shropshire for the past ten years.
After having children I experienced problems with my hips, shoulders and knees. My chiropractor suggested I took up Pilates. I witnessed instant improvements and fell in love with the method.
After much research in 2007 I decided to study a Matwork Diploma with an international company called the Pilates Institute who are based in London and who have an excellent reputation within the pilates profession.
I am now continuing my studies with Polestar Pilates who are revolutionary. The comprehensive education includes manual skills, advanced body awareness and principals of motor learning.
In 2010 I completed a very comprehensive Studio hybrid course with Polestar Pilates and now i am also a qualified Studio Practitioner.
I have been continuing my education in 2011 with a range of study days held by physiotherapists and osteopaths with Polestar and hope to continue building my portfolio into 2012.
