About Owner
I’m Sophie. I'm a Body Control Pilates Teacher, Back4Good® Practitioner & Bone Health Specialist.
I originally set up my business in Dulwich, South East London, but I've now moved to Spain (somewhere between Alicante & Valencia!). From Spain I remotely run my Dulwich business & provide video courses, live online classes & 1:1 home visits in Spain.
​
I am passionate about technique so whether you're a beginner or advanced client, I like to observe, correct, & ensure you're getting the most out of any movement. I have a keen interest in working with people who love their sport...
I spent around 10 years ferrying my son around to tennis clubs and tournaments, as he was a performance tennis player. My partner is a tennis coach, a personal trainer and an avid weightlifter.
​
This is why I became interested in working with people who like to do sports as a hobby. I’m currently working with those who like to play tennis, lift weights, run, complete challenges and play golf. Tennis players and golfers both have to master specific, technical strokes which put a lot of strain on the shoulder and hip joints, and of course the spine. Pilates can help you to improve your game performance, prevent you from injury and reduce stiffness and soreness post game. It can help you to re-establish your strength, improve uniformity within the body, & make you more aware of your 'gives' & 'restrictions'. Your sport and Pilates is a great combo!
As well as being keen to work with those who like to keep active, I also have an interest in low back pain. Partly due to my own issues with hip and back pain, initiated by taking on The Three Peaks challenge when I turned 40yrs. I am now a qualified Back4Good® practitioner, fully appreciating what it feels like to be in pain, & how to reduce pain.
​
It’s interesting that on-going chronic back pain is not necessarily the fault of your spine, but possibly restrictions in your other main joints, lack of core strength, or a lack of awareness of habitual movements that cause the aches.

As a Back4Good® practitioner I can liaise with your GP or consultant to facilitate your referral and plan the best programme for you.
