I then spent time teaching fitness from 2000 to 2015 along with earning a Sport Science Degree (Fitness Powerlifting, Weightlifting) – France 2004

I began to practice and teach Pilates in 2007. That same year I became the owner and Instructor of my own gym, teaching fitness and Pilates for 8 years before I moved to Jersey.

In 2020, I took the opportunity to retrain myself and qualified with BASI Pilates UK (Body Arts and Science International) in both Mat and Apparatus. I am also certified for Pilates with Injuries and Pathologies.
