Pilates, Walking and Retreat Experiences for Health and Wellbeing
Helping people move well, reconnect with nature and enhance wellbeing through Pilates, walking and retreat experiences.
My approach is informed by years of Pilates teaching, walking practice, and research into wellbeing, nature and connection to place. Through Pilates, walking experiences, retreats, and independent research, I explore the relationship between movement, wellbeing, nature, and cultural landscapes. My work combines embodied movement such as Pilates with restorative experiences in natural and cultural environments.
