I’ve joined the Katie Bell Physiotherapy and Wellness Team in September as the new Studio Manager after covering Pilates classes over the summer. I am also a Pilates instructor and yoga teacher.

I’ve grown up doing sports – from athletics, football to road and track cycling. I’ve started practicing Pilates in 2012 to complement long distance running. Initially my practice was purely physical, however soon I started to notice the mental health benefits and it became a way to reconnect with myself.

After a 12-year, highly stressful career in IT, I’ve transitioned to teaching Pilates and yoga full time – nothing gives me more joy than seeing how people’s mood change after taking a class, walking out of the studio a little lighter, happier and standing a little bit taller. I’m really excited to combine my passion for fitness and wellbeing with my organisational skills in my new role and look forward to finding ways to improve the wonderful members’ experience in the studio.
