Helen has been passionate about helping people overcome their back pain for over 20 years. Having struggled with back pain in the past herself she is perfectly positioned to understand the difficulties her clients are struggling with. Over the past 20 years Helen has helped hundreds of people overcome their back pain and regain the confidence their back will become strong again.
5 years ago Helen trained as an Advanced Sports Therapist so she could help people with more complex back pain like Sciatica, Prolapsed discs, Spinal fusions and Stenosis. All this extra knowledge is applied to her classes so you can be sure you are in safe hands.
I had been to a few Pilates classes before but didn’t feel it was for me. My GP kept telling me to go to Pilates to strengthen my back and core but I just didn’t get it, felt like a lemon and like I was useless and everyone else was really good and knew what they were doing. I came across Helen and she invited me to one of her free taster classes. I went along not expecting too much but……….. She explained everything in a way that made sense to me, yes the breathing took a little time to get the hang of but she was so patient and encouraging that I felt at ease and that it wasn’t the end of the world if I get something wrong. One of the things I love about it is she always says “ I am here to make sure you are working safely and effectively and within your body’s limits, pay attention to your body and give it what it wants, it will reward you in kind later” Helens class is all about the members not about her. I now have a passion for Pilates I never thought I would have, it is all down to Helens relaxed style of teaching. Thank you.
I had been struggling with a bad back for a long time and finally took the plunge to go see a chiropractor, my Chiropractor told me I needed to go to Pilates classes to strengthen my core and get more flexibility. When I got home and told my wife she laughed because unknown to me she had just been to a Pilates taster class with Helen. We both attend regularly now and know when we have missed a week we start to stiffen up again. I work away and used to have my chiropractor appointment booked before I went for as soon as I got home because I would be in agony after a long flight and car journey. I am so happy to have joined Pilates because I no longer have to have treatments and the homework Helen sends out is a god send when you are away. I only wish I had gone earlier.
I attended a free taster to help my back and was made very welcome. The classes are well taught with Helen ensuring everyone is exercising safely. Helen will always ask at the start of each class if there are any specific problem areas that need attention and can fit this into the class. Would highly recommend her - my back has never felt better. X
Helen is a fantastic teacher. I first found Helen's classes 3 years ago when I was in agony with back pain. I attended a free taster and found I loved Pilates I'm now pain free!! The classes are great fun. I look forward to them every week. Pain free and clear head...Love Helen's Pilates
