I'm Elaine and I'm the person behind the Pilates Studio. 

I first discovered Pilates while working in London as an accountant. A physio recommended it to help manage back pain that had resulted in 2 prolapsed discs (too many long hours slumped over a desk!) 

After practising Pilates for a number of years I decided to train as a Pilates teacher with Body Control Pilates® I gained my Level 3 Matwork certification in 2009, left London and the corporate workd behind and started teaching Pilates on a full-time basis. 

Today I'm also a fully qualified Body Control Pilates® Reformer Teacher & trained on all the studio equipment. I'm also a Back4Good® practitioner and experienced in working with clients with low back pain. 

In my spare time I'm a keen marathon runner (over 30 to date, including all six of the World Marathon Majors). I wholeheartedly believe that Pilates has enhanced my running and kept me free from injuries!
