HOW IT STARTED

Lizzie spent the first 25 years of her life competing in high-level sport, notably; Modern Pentathlon, Three Day Eventing, Ultra marathons, Marathons, and Half Marathons. Like so many other high-performing athletes, Lizzie’s sporting career was sometimes found navigating injury, notably a serious back injury from her early teens that contributed to Spondylolysis (spinal fracture). This led her to explore ways to rehabilitate, prevent and mitigate the long-term impact of sporting-injuries- and ultimately comprehensively qualify to teach and share this with others. Being introduced to Pilates means that even after 1000's of miles of running, a ten year project management career, a relatably busy life and two babies she is still back surgery free.

Pilates sessions with Lizzie are not about what you solely gain in the one hour in the studio, they are about what benefits you take into your life beyond the studio. Not only will you become stronger, you will become more educated and more aware. As Lizzie says endlessly - we do Pilates so that we can do everything else.

Lizzie continues to progress her work through multiple qualifications in the area of rehabilitation and injury recovery.

She is looked to as an expert in the local area, working with world class physios and women’s health physios to support the programmes of many clients. 

Clients come to Lizzie for her abundance of knowledge and stay for her passion, energy and tenacity in getting to know her clients and ensuring they not only meet their goals, but surpass them leaving sessions educated in ways clients hadn't realised possible.
