Where it all began… ✨

This little cabin will always hold a special place in my heart.

Back in 2022, I graduated with a dream. I didn’t really know what it would look like or where it would take me — I just knew I wanted to give it a go.

Since then, that dream has changed and grown in ways I probably never imagined.

I’ve had my placement with Bradford Bulls, a fixed-term contract at Leeds United, worked as a physio assistant on a hospital ward, and quietly built my own little business alongside it all.

And through every bit of it, my family have been there. Cheering me on, keeping me grounded and believing in me, even on the days when I wasn’t entirely sure myself. 🥰

Not everyone has understood what I’ve been trying to build, and there have definitely been people who’ve doubted me along the way. But if anything, that’s just made me a bit more determined to keep going.

I’ve learnt that success looks different for everyone.

Some people love climbing the corporate ladder, and that’s brilliant. Others want to create something for themselves, have a bit more freedom, more time with family and a life that feels a little more balanced.

There’s room for all of it.

For me, I’ve somehow found my way back to the things I’ve always loved — sport, swimming, gymnastics, coaching and being part of a community.

Watching children grow in confidence through gymnastics coaching, seeing them achieve something they’ve worked really hard for, and now helping people feel stronger and better through Pilates, massage and wellness… that’s the bit that really means something to me.

I still don’t have it all figured out, and I don’t think I ever will.

But I’ve learnt that you don’t need to have your whole life mapped out. Sometimes you just need to take the next step, keep working hard and trust that the path will unfold as you go.

Life’s far too short to spend it worrying about what everyone else thinks you should be doing.

You’ve got to build a life that feels right for you.

And looking back at where it all started, I’m really rather grateful for how far it’s come — and excited to see where it goes next.

ONE WEEK TODAY 🤍

In just one week, we’ll be stepping into this beautiful space for a morning of movement, breathing, connection and time for you. 🌿

The school holidays can be full-on — routines change, everyone needs something from you, and it’s easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list.

So what if, just for one morning, you didn’t?
✨ Move your body with mindful Pilates
✨ Slow down with guided meditation & breathwork
✨ Enjoy tea, snacks and time to connect
✨ Relax, reset and simply breathe
✨ Leave with a little wellness gift to take home

Move | Breathe | Restore

A nurturing 3-hour retreat designed to leave you feeling calmer, stronger and refreshed. 🤍

And the best part?

You don’t need any previous Pilates or meditation experience. Just come as you are.

There are just a couple of spaces left.

If you’ve been thinking “I really should make some time for myself…” — this is your little nudge. 🤍

📅 Sunday 23rd August
⏰ 10:30am–1:30pm
📍 The Breathing Room
£40 investment per person

Come and give yourself a morning to pause, breathe and reconnect. 🌿

DM me or email [email protected] to book your space. 🤍

Do you make time to relax? 🤍

Sometimes you don’t realise how much you needed it until you’re actually there…

…and then your shoulders drop, you take that deep breath and think:

“Ahhh, I really needed this.” 🌿

We’re often so good at making time for everyone else, but how often do we make ourselves a priority too?

So, ask yourself…

When was the last time you really switched off? 🤍

Maybe today is your little reminder to make some time for you.

How does Pilates make you feel? 🤍

You don’t have to feel 100% to show up.

Some days we have loads of energy.
Other days, we really don’t.

But sometimes, just getting yourself onto the mat, taking a breath and moving your body is exactly what you need. 🌿

And somehow, even on the days you nearly didn’t come…
………you always seem to feel better afterwards. 🤍

A little movement.
A little time for yourself.
A little reminder to slow down and breathe.

Sometimes, showing up is enough. ✨

I’d love to know… how does Pilates make you feel? 🤍

Pilates is about control, not perfection. 🤍

It’s not about touching your toes, holding the hardest poses, or getting everything right the first time.

Pilates is about learning to move with awareness, building strength from the inside out, and meeting your body where it is.

Every exercise can be adapted, which is why my classes are suitable for both beginners and those with more experience. My aim is to help you move with confidence - not perfection.

🌿 If you’ve been thinking about trying Pilates, I’d love to welcome you.

✨ There are also still a few spaces available on my Move • Breathe • Restore retreat on Sunday 23rd August—three hours to slow down with Pilates, mobility, journalling, guided meditation and gentle stretching. If you’d like to join us, just send me a message. 🤍

A space to slow down. 🤍

Whether you’re coming for a massage, Pilates or simply a moment to breathe, my aim is always the same—to help you leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived.

Wishing you a gentle Wednesday. 🌿

July, in 20 photos. 🤍

July has always been a month that I find difficult, but somehow we made it through.

This month has been filled with quiet moments, endless cups of tea, books that made me pause, movement, little daily habits, time in nature, and making memories with the people who mean the most to me.

To my Grandad... I hope I’ve made you proud. Thank you for every little sign when I’ve needed one the most. 🤍

Here’s to appreciating the simple moments, holding our loved ones a little closer, and taking one day at a time. 🌿
..and apparently an unreasonable amount of tea. But can you ever really have too much? ☕🤍

(There were definitely more photos, but Instagram decided 20 was enough 😂)
