Hi, I'm Charlotte, a dedicated low back pain specialist Pilates teacher.
I teach group matwork classes and personalised 1:1 sessions in Harpenden and St Albans.
​
My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of human anatomy and biomechanics, gained through rigorous training with Body Control Pilates, widely recognised as an international benchmark in Pilates education.
​
My journey into Pilates began with my own postnatal rehab. Through Pilates, I addressed my diastasis recti, receiving a unique insight into the body's capacity for healing and strength. I gained a first hand understanding of how instrumental Pilates can be in supporting the body’s recovery.
​
I specialise in helping individuals to prevent and manage low back pain, enabling people to take control of their own recovery through personalised Pilates programmes.
​
There is no need to be super fit or flexible. My goal is to guide you towards a stronger, more resilient, and pain-free life.
"Change happens through movement and movement heals."
--Joseph Pilates
Why Pilates?
Pilates targets the deep intrinsic stability muscles - the muscles responsible for posture; strengthening them from the inside out. The aim is to rebalance the body, to bring it into the correct alignment.
​
Pilates is ideal for all walks of life and is often recommended for those with back problems.
​
Already a sports person? Then adding Pilates into your weekly fitness regime will perfectly complement any other fitness activity and may well improve your form!
​
Pilates is named after it's creator, Joseph Pilates, who created a series of exercises that built strength without adding bulk and balanced that strength with flexibility.
​
With it's gentle, controlled approach, Pilates exercises can be adapted to suit everyone, no matter your level of fitness, strength or flexibility.
