Stop Having To Give Up the Activities You Love
Reclaim your freedom in just 4 weeks, with this online personalised pilates 'Joint Liberation' course designed specifically for your body (no random, generic fitness videos). Join now before weak, achy or stiff joints steal your favourite past-times from your life​​
Tomorrow's Problems Are Being Created Today
Feeling stiff, like the Tin Man?
Want to ease those joints, reduce pain, and move with more confidence? You may be young-at-heart, but is your body keeping up, or holding you back from the things you love (gardening, walking, golf, tennis, or simply moving freely)?
This 4-week online pilates course is designed for you, whether you’re starting out, getting back into fitness, or recovering from injury (with your doctor’s okay).
​
Why it matters:
-
Stiffness creates imbalances that lead to injury
-
Poor posture today can mean chronic pain tomorrow
-
Lost confidence leads to less movement and more weakness
-
Without muscle & core strength, even daily activities get harder
​
In just 4 weeks, you’ll:
-
Loosen stiff joints and move more freely
-
Improve balance and posture
-
Get stronger without long workouts
-
Build confidence and body awareness
-
Get back to doing the things you love
-
And most importantly, build the pilates knowledge that will help you, to help yourself.
Pilates and Me
Hi, I'm Sophie! In my prime I was physically fit. I was used to doing boot camps, got in the Hall of Fame for squats, lunges, push ups, sit ups!! Then things changed. I completed the Three Peak Challenge & injured my right hip joint. I went through a divorce and my work became very busy. I had to stop doing all the fitness activities I loved because of all my commitments. Gradually, I became less fit, muscles wasted and complications started to surface in relation to my hip joint.
​​
My seized up hip joint turned into low back pain, I started to totally lock up, which was extremely painful. I felt like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz. I went to the GP, then specialists, I had all the tests and injections… but nothing reached the root of the problem. I needed a long term solution that didn’t involve drugs, or oil (!) ​
​
I turned to a local Pilates class. My initial thoughts? 'meh'! There was no sweating involved, limited muscle soreness, it didn't feel like anything was happening. But then I noticed I was sleeping better, how come? Because I was no longer like a 'stuck bug in pain' when I rolled onto my back or front at night. My hip & back began to unlock and I could finally sleep again. What a relief!​
​
With improved sleep, I was more energised during the day, more able to get back to the activities I loved. I kept going to pilates and the rewards kept coming. And now, years later, I’m teaching!​
I'm a Body Control Pilates Teacher, Back4Good® Practitioner & Bone Health Specialist. Additional certificates in Older Persons, Low Back Pain, Adaptations, Movement Analysis, Pilates for Golfers, Shoulder pathologies, Hip workouts. I'm addicted to learning & increasing my knowledge! And I'd love to start sharing this knowledge with you.

The Window for Easy Progress is Closing...
Your body adapts to whatever you give it most. If you continue with current patterns, you will find that compensation becomes permanent. If you miss the opportunity for gentle, progressive change now, you may need more intensive intervention later. I see it all the time in my clients. They're struggling with conditions which, if they'd nipped them in the bud, would have been far easier to solve.
This personalised attention and gradual building approach works so well early on, but becomes much harder when serious problems start to settle in.
Commit to making a positive change today, which will totally change the outlook of your future self.
Your Investment - £129 for 4 weeks
To put a stop to the following:
​
-
Waking up stiffer each morning
-
Avoiding your favourite sport or past-times that you used to enjoy
-
Compensating with other body parts (in turn creating new problems)
-
Losing the strength and stability that keeps you independent
-
Missing out on the ease of movement that others maintain as they age
​
The gentle, personalised approach that works in 4 weeks becomes much more challenging if you wait until problems are severe. Your future self will thank you for acting now!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Sophia, K
Sophie is a wonderful Pilates teacher! I'm truly addicted to her classes. She is very positive and encouraging, calm and gentle. She has an ingenious way of verbalising what she wants you to do with your body, which makes it really easy to understand and follow. She manages to tailor the exercises precisely to different people, bodies and abilities in the class making everyone feel they're working at the level that's individually right for them
Richard, McK
Sophie has that rare quality of knowing how to encourage and challenge at the same time. The classes are always well organised, welcoming and purposeful. I have a particular interest in her approach to managing the use of our often maligned back, as I suffered a difficult episode earlier in the year....The classes are proving a significant help in my recovery and most importantly helping to gain confidence to move freely, as we were designed to do.
Colin, H
Sophie is a superb pilates instructor. The exercise programmes she put together are wonderful for shoulder, hip and knee strength and mobility. The core exercises really help thoracic and lumbar spine rotation. This has been enormously helpful for my golf swing. Particularly as I am getting older, the core exercises maintain my strength in a focused, safe and fun way.
