About Me

Hi, I'm Michelle - a certified Body Control Pilates teacher. 

Movement has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I began professional ballet training at San Francisco Ballet School before continuing my studies at Central School of Ballet in London.  

Pilates first became part of my life during my years training as a dancer, providing an invaluable complement to the physical demands of ballet. My fascination with how the body moves led me to study Physiology at university and undertake research exploring factors that influence performance in dancers and athletes. 

While my career later took me in a different direction, Pilates supported me through pregnancy and motherhood, and my love of movement remained a constant through regular ballet classes. 

I rediscovered my passion for Pilates in 2023, and inspired by the transformative benefits of regular practice, I made the decision to retrain as a Pilates instructor and completed the Body Control Pilates Matwork Certification in 2026. I am delighted to now be sharing my love of Pilates with clients.

My teaching combines the precision and body awareness developed through professional dance training with a scientific understanding of anatomy and movement. I aim to create supportive, engaging classes that help clients build strength, improve mobility, and move with greater confidence and ease.
