“MaryAnne was an amazing Pilates teacher for a beginners class, her explanations and time spent educating us was thoughtful and productive. Her patience and technique in a supportive environment made for ease of learning and relaxation. I learnt a lot that I could practice at home and feel I can continue with to perfect the techniques of Pilates.
Thank you MaryAnne”
Mrs M L
I have been coming to Pilates for nearly two terms now and I am so happy to say that it has helped me a lot! I have previously had a discectomy and currently have two herniated discs in my back...Mary-Anne has gently guided me through exercises that have really improved my mobility. Thank you so much Mary-Anne
Mrs A M
....as an ex dancer with post spinal surgical degeneration and scar tissue, and suffering chronic musculoskeletal pain, I had developed a fear of movement ...Using Pilates and her unique talents Mary Anne gently and optimistically guided and encouraged me and my body to find new ways to 'be' ....
Mrs S A
You taught me Pilates. I just want to tell you that it's the best thing I ever did and to thank you for your sensitive teaching....I'm a convert!
Mrs C B
Mary Anne is one of the finest Pilates teachers with a Physio background you could ever be lucky enough to meet.
Mrs S A
I attended your 'Pilates for Dyspraxia' course.....and just thought I'd let you know that I've been using Pilates since with some great results!
Ms S O (Physiotherapist)
MaryAnne takes the time to explain why, what and how... she is gentle, warm and funny! Highly recommend.
Mrs J H
Very welcoming classes. MaryAnne is a great instructor, very clear with all exercises. It is great that MaryAnne has a physio background which means she explains the anatomy of what is actually happening which is very helpful. Would thoroughly recommend these classes.
Mrs W S
"I love your style of teaching and how I feel afterwards - its great!"
Mrs M S
"Finally found a Pilates teacher whose experience and expertise shines. MaryAnne’s extensive knowledge and experience means I can trust her opinion. Having lived with osteochondritis and scoliosis since childhood, after two terms with MaryAnne, I now have considerably less back pain. She teaches you to listen and work with your body. I have never previously experienced this before in countless ‘one size fits all’ exercise settings. Her classes are also very welcoming and fun." Lyndsay

"MaryAnne's Pilates class are a high point of my week, as it enables me to do a physical 'reset' so I come away feeling stronger and refreshed. MaryAnne is very good at teaching and the exercises are varied and cover the whole body, which I am sure have helped me prevent injuries. The classes are not too big which means you can get individual feedback and help if needed. I would thoroughly recommend the Pilates classes." Wendy
