Therapist Profile

I worked for 20 years as a Pensions Consultant and Administration Services manager for a number of multinational companies and came to a point in my life where I was earning a good salary but had no job satisfaction and was working very long hours with a lot of travelling. At this point I took the decision to retrain and do something that I really enjoyed.

The training I undertook was hard work both mentally and physically and very intense but I enjoyed every minute of it and can honestly say has changed my life since.

Whilst treating clients with more severe back problems I set up a Pilates class which is very popular with clients having attended now for 2 1/2 years on a regular basis. For some of these clients Pilates has changed their lives. They no longer have regular physio visits, their back problems are controlled and they feel fitter, healthier and more relaxed.

From the Physio clinic I was approached to take one class a week at a gym in Wolverhampton, where I have been for almost 3 years.

I run another weekly class for teachers at a local school and cover for Pilates classes at Esporta gym in Wolverhampton.

Interests & Hobbies

In my ‘spare’ ! time I enjoy running – marathon & half marathon and triathlon.

I am currently training to complete a Half-Ironman triathlon on 1st June 2008 in Zurich, which is taking up most of my leisure time.
