About Kate

Blonde woman smiling at the camera

Located between The Maplesteads and Gestingthorpe, right on the Essex/Suffolk border, I am a Level 3 qualified Pilates teacher, holding the Fully Comprehensive Pilates Masters Certificate. Trained by Joanne Cobbe, founder of JPilates, I teach the Mat Repertoire, Reformer, Tower, Barrel and Wunda Chair Apparatus Pilates, Pre and Post Natal Pilates and Barre. I plan and deliver 1:1 and duet Pilates sessions tailored to your individual needs all taught in my home studio.

My background as a secondary school teacher forms the foundations of my approach to teaching Pilates. I am able to provide clear instructions, have a strong work ethic, I can problem solve and adapt to a variety of circumstances such as working around injuries or adapting for clients in certain situations. I like to provide excellent sessions in a fun but focussed environment.

I am the proud keeper of 4 children, several dogs and a husband. And when I’m not teaching Pilates, walking the dogs or watching one of my children roaring around a sports field, I can be found on the tennis court, planning family holidays, or leafing through cookery books wondering if my attempts will ever look anything like the glossy photographs!
