Rachel is a keen runner and skier and also enjoys cycling, general fitness and dancing (for fun!) Rachel’s love of Pilates began when she developed a running injury during marathon training in 2017. She found that not only did regular Pilates help make her stronger and keep injury at bay, but it became an amazing ‘escape’ and a huge stress relief from the busyness of life raising four young children. Every class left her body and mind feeling rejuvenated. In 2019 this newfound passion prompted her to train and qualify as a Pilates Teacher.

Prior to becoming a Mum, Rachel worked as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist for 11 years, and has recently completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Education Mental Health Practice. The ethos of empowering people to develop, recover, improve and maintain skills required for participation in activities and occupations meaningful to them, remains strongly with her.

She views the body and mind as inseparable and recognises the power of movement and breath on healing both. She loves that Pilates does exactly that and appeals to those who want to be energised and challenged, as well as those who want to de-stress and relax. Pilates is for everyone.
