My Story
My Pilates journey began out of necessity. Following two large babies and two C-sections, I was left dealing with chronic back pain, a weak core, and Diastasis Recti.
Finding Pilates was a turning point. It quite literally changed my life.
Falling in love with the physical freedom of improved mobility and strength inspired me to help others do the same. I quickly learned that movement shouldn’t be rigid. By weaving my love for Yoga and resistance training into my practice, I created a varied, functional approach to fitness that keeps things fresh and effective.
Since qualifying with FutureFit London in 2022, I left my old career behind to build Redfly Pilates. I haven’t looked back since, and I can’t wait to welcome you to the mat.
I’m a real person, not an Instagram filter.
Why you won't find any posh leggings or strict rules here—just movement that works for your body.
Who I'm Not...
Let’s clear something up first.
I am NOT:
An ex-ballerina who has been flexible since birth, an influencer who lives for Instagram likes, a collector of posh gym gear, or a follower of weird health fads.
I also don’t carry a badge for the Pilates Police. Joseph Pilates was a genius, but he didn’t design his original 1940s routine with perimenopause, Diastasis recti, or desk-bound 21st-century bodies in mind. If we need to stray from the traditional script to make a movement
actually work for your body today, we will.
Who I Am...
Instead, I am just a real person:
A busy Mum constantly managing boys and rescue Lurchers. A perimenopausal woman navigating the joys of Diastasis recti. An absolute devotee of movement who loves combining Pilates, Yoga, running, and swimming to keep my sanity intact.
And finally, I am a firm believer that life requires a different kind of balance—specifically balanced with excellent Italian wine, French cheese, warm sunshine, and the sea.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Redfly Pilates right for me?
Beginners are welcome and all classes are mixed ability. Most exercises can be adapted and modified. You will need to be able to move freely from floor to standing and have the all clear from your medical practitioner. Everyone begins from a unique baseline shaped by their anatomy, and life experience.
“Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.” -Arthur Ashe
But I’m nervous and not used to group classes?
Most of us are the same! The hardest part is turning up. The rest is easy! Redfly Pilates is more than just a workout. For many, it’s the one hour in the week away from work/home and stress. A place to feel seen and supported and have the freedom to breathe, move and take back ownership of their body. Confidence is built and transformation begins.

What do I need to bring to classes?
What’s all this about equipment?
Redfly Pilates LOVES equipment! Small Balls, Magic Circle, Long resistance bands, small resistance bands, Light weights, Pilates Bar.
Here’s why… it adds resistance, improves stability by challenging balance. It can wake up muscles that traditional mat work can miss. Equipment can also help with the exercise, providing support and alignment. Ultimately, tapping into that all important mind-muscle connection.
