Elevating Movement. Transforming Lives.

With over 30 years in dance, fitness, and movement, my passion for learning and teaching has only grown stronger. I can still recall the steps and soundtrack of my very first class—a moment that launched an extraordinary journey across the globe and through more than 60 specialist instructor certifications. From dynamic disciplines like Rebounding, Aerial Yoga, TRX Suspension Training, and Piloxing, to high-flying adventures in Kangarobics and Super-Fly Bungee Jumping, I’ve dedicated my life to mastering the full spectrum of movement.

Expert Educator & Assessor

My commitment to excellence extends into professional education, mentorship, and assessment:

  • Top-Tier UK Educator: Proud Level 4 Pilates certified tutor and assessor in Pilates Mat and Reformer for one of the UK’s premier training providers.

  • Next-Step Support for New Teachers: I offer comprehensive next-step support courses for new teachers covering all aspects of teaching—from practical tips, insider tricks, and lesson planning to building confidence and establishing your individual teaching style.

  • Assessments & Quality: Holder of D31/D32 and D34 Assessor and Internal Verifier Awards, alongside a Level 3 Award in Education and Training (PTTLS).

  • Pioneering Centre: In June 2023, VFIT Education became the first Approved YMCA Awards Training Centre in The Netherlands, empowering the next generation of fitness professionals in Pilates, Yoga, and Exercise Instruction.

Master Practitioner & Clinical Educator

My approach integrates rigorous training with holistic healing modalities:

  • Advanced Pilates & Yoga: Fully Level 4 Pilates Certified specialist and 500-hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training graduate (Singapore, 2010/2011).

  • Clinical Somatics & Direct Lineage: Certified CCET Somatic Movement Teacher (2022) and fully qualified Clinical Somatic Educator (2025), unlocking freedom from chronic pain and stress. To deepen this work, I am currently studying with two educators from the original first generation of Hanna Somatic Education—trained directly by Thomas Hanna himself.

  • Acupuncture Trained: Integrating precise anatomical understanding and holistic relief techniques directly into client care.

Inspiring the Next Generation

I am deeply passionate about bringing mindful movement to young minds:

  • Creator of Little People’s Pilates and Little People’s Yoga, both awarded prestigious 3-Star Enhanced Status with CIMSPA (10 CPD Points total).

  • Designing interactive, fun-filled programs that build confidence, strength, and joy in children of all ages.

 

Specialized in Pilates and Yoga

I specialize in teaching Adults and Children’s classes especially in the areas of Pilates and Yoga.  After getting disheartened with the “boringness of yoga”  I  attended a drop in Ashtanga class while on holiday in Phuket , and was blown away.  I went on to complete my 500 hour Ashtanga Certification in Singapore which completely changed my whole outlook and delivery of Yoga and Pilates.

Fun Classes - Happy, Healthy Kids

Instructor for all ages!

I am always drawn back to my children’s classes, even with the responsibilities that come with it.  Why? because they are fun to teach, you never have enough time, the feedback is always incredible but not always what you expect to hear, and the pressure to deliver is so very different from teaching adults.  Not only is it rewarding to see the children perfect their movements but it is an honor to watch them grow confident and proud of their hard work, hear their kindness and thoughtfulness, listen to their stories and jokes, and be a tiny part of their quest to learn and grow.  I truly believe that children want to please and do well.  I myself, am constantly developing and creating things I hope they will enjoy and take forward into their futures.

Certified Somatics Teacher

My current love is Somatics, and I am very proud to be a certified Somatics Teacher.  Over the next three years I will begin a new journey of expanding this knowledge to become a Clinical Somatics Therapist.   I truly believe that Somatics can remove pain, stress and  tension for people, it’s like this magic that happens in front of my eyes.
