Getting over a hip fracture in your 40’s!
Helen suffered a hip fracture in her 40s, not something you would expect unless you know that for the 5-8 years around the menopause we suffer a net bone loss of up to 10% which increases our risk of fragility fractures.
Her Hip surgery left her with a limp which when you are a mother of young teenagers is no laughing matter. I was glad Helen found her way to me and to discover the power of Pilates to rehabilitate, restore and rejuvenate.

Use it or lose it!
For over 30 years I have been helping people and I have an in-depth knowledge of why things go wrong. The focus of my Pilates and Yoga sessions is to practice the movements that make the most difference and allow us to be fit, strong and healthy as we age.
I recall vividly people who embraced my exercise programmes with a large dose of scepticism only to return thrilled that simple techniques could be so effective. They promise to keep on with the programme but all to often fall off the wagon. After all ’what difference can a few days off make?’
I have been working with Phillipa for the last three years. I started as a beginner and now I absolutely love my weekly one to one session either on the reformer or online. Phillipa is what I call an investor in people. She listens to what you are feeling in your body and adjusts the sessions accordingly. Phillipa has an unbelievable knowledge of how the body works. My body has improved tremendously in tone, strength and flexibility. I only wish I had done this sooner.
But when days turn into weeks we enter dangerous territory. The gains that can take 4-6 months to achieve can be lost in the space of a few weeks. It really is a case of ‘use it or lose it’
This is when making a commitment to attend weekly classes helps you to keep the promise you made to yourself. This is when my on-demand Pilates and Yoga sessions are a win-win. You don’t have to beat traffic, pay for parking, arrange childcare or risk slipping over in icy conditions in the winter. Book my First Class FREE

Prevention is better than cure
You don’t have to have anything wrong with you to benefit from Pilates and the sooner you begin the more benefit you will gain. Anuszka loved Pilates so much that she went on to become a Pilates teacher herself and when time permits she makes time to join me for a session online.
I started going to Phillipa for reformer and mat classes after having my second child, and had an hour or two a week to focus on me again. I cannot tell you how I LOVED it. Not only the endorphins from exercising and the effects that pilates has on the mind and body but the fact that Phillipa was such a great teacher. She will make you smile during something quite tough, and correct you when you need it. She pushed me and I felt stronger and stronger each week.
Physio-Led Hatha Yoga
When I completed my Yoga training and introduced Yoga into my Online schedule my clients were curious to explore the difference between the two disciplines.
In my opinion, these two disciplines complement one another beautifully and by joining my Precizion Unlimited Plan you are getting the best that each has to offer.
Lori has done just that and tells me “My week isn’t complete without my sessions”.
Sue has been a regular for around 6 years and she is a huge fan of Yoga and Pilates. Both help her to deal with the demands of her active lifestyle.
According to scientific studies you get the most benefit from doing exercise you enjoy BUT it’s a bit like we say to our children when faced with broccoli, how do you know whether you like it if you’ve never tried it?
Exercise Teachers and Teachers in Training
If you are an exercise teacher you will already know that working on your own body is something we must continue to do and that just teaching our classes alone just isn’t enough.
I have supported and mentored teachers in training and many qualified teachers appreciate my dedication to delivering a high quality clinical Pilates experience.
As a pilates teacher it is so important that I work on my own body too. I love her classes as they are challenging and fun.
She is very precise with her cueing, ensuring that we maintain the correct position to get the most out of the exercise. They are varied, structured and progressive which allows us all to improve at our own rate.
Her classes are always balanced, ensuring that we cover all planes of movement and her exercises are very focused on functional movement so the benefits continue into our daily lives.
