Alex started Pilates many years ago now at the recommendation of her chiropractor at the time as she was suffering from constant neck and back ache due to her posture. He advised Alex that he could keep treating her, or she could fix the underlying issue herself and this information came like a breath of fresh air.  She knew she needed to take action to correct her posture which would eliminate her pain. He suggested Pilates so she gave it a try, and has never looked back.

Years later, Alex decided that she needed a career change and her wonderful Pilates teacher at the time encouraged her to train to become a Pilates teacher.  She trained for over a year under Suzanne Scott and her team at the Scott Studio in Somerset to gain her Pilates Foundation accredited Mat work Qualification in Dec 2011. 

After the birth of her daughter in 2013, Alex realised that her post-baby body needed something more than ‘normal’ Pilates. She couldn’t find the person she needed, so she became that person and studied under Jenny Burrell of Burrell Education and qualified in Advanced Modern Post Natal Assessment, Core Restore & Functional Exercise Programming.  She loves working with postnatal mums (with babies of all ages).  

Alex has since developed a love for Barre classes and now teaches the fantastic and biomechanically sound Bootybarre™. In 2018 she further developed her skills to teach the Pilates reformer with Body Control Pilates.

Her main interests and goals for her clients is to increase their body awareness by learning to correct movement patterns that they can use in their everyday lives, helping to combat aches and pains from work, motherhood and travel.
