If I’m moving my body and helping others find a deeper connection into their trillions of body parts too, I’m very happy. My work in Movement started through Dance. I made it my career and it took me around the world to some of the most incredible glittering theatres and far away places.
Later through teaching dance, I began to study, explore and analyze movement. This allowed for a greater understanding of anatomy, fascia and body mechanics which progressed naturally to teaching more body-movement and health focused work.
Now with over 15 years teaching experience, I share my love of Movement and the body with others.
My background:
After graduating from The Rambert School Of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, London, I joined Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures Dance Company, in addition working within Opera, Film and West End Theatre fields.
I returned to Devon and established Chapel House Studios in Totnes over a decade ago. I live near Totnes with my husband and two children.

My Movement Philosophy
My approach to fitness is eclectic, drawing on different movement modalities and mindful approaches to offer Health-oriented movement programs that benefit life - both through the physical & the Psycho-emotional. I keep learning. Developing gentle consistency with healthy habits to form your lifestyle is key. I am firmly rooted in the belief that movement should fill you up, light up your intuition, be steady, balanced, consistent, helping you develop trust and confidence in yourself to meet life with gentle self determination…and be enjoyable too…something your 100 year old self will be proud you invested your time in practicing from now.
