About Rachel

Helping you heal yourself through Pilates so you can live your best life yet.

Rachel’s mission is simple: to create a welcoming haven where you feel supported, motivated, and inspired to look after your body. Pilates isn’t just something she teaches—it’s her way of life. Some might even say she’s a little obsessed, and she’s perfectly fine with that. Pilates challenges her, grounds her, and continually deepens her connection to her own body.

With over 25 years of teaching experience and international training, Rachel brings a wealth of knowledge, intuition, and enthusiasm to every session. She has also helped train and mentor new 4th‑generation Pilates teachers through her work in the Pilates Training Programme. She is fully insured and first‑aid qualified, giving you complete confidence that you’re in safe hands.

Rachel’s Approach

Rachel supports and guides you every step of the way. Her hands‑on teaching style helps you feel what your body is trying to achieve, awakening your natural ability to move with ease and vitality. Her passion, zest for life, and light‑hearted humour are infectious—you’ll learn, grow, and laugh along the way.

Her goal is always the same: to help you become the very best version of yourself. By the end of each session, you’ll move more freely, feel more aligned, and leave with a renewed sense of energy.

How You Can Get Stronger with Rachel

Rachel specialises in 1‑to‑1 sessions and small group training, where you receive personalised attention and tailored guidance. She also teaches Mat Pilates classes, in the community and which you can join from anywhere—your living room, your garden, even on holiday—if you have a device and a Zoom connection.

A Life Powered by Pilates

Rachel walks, swims, cycles, and paddleboards—and she credits Pilates for giving her the strength, mobility, and balance to enjoy it all. Pilates always comes first.

Client Feedback

Pilates classes with Rachel are fantastic.
They have enabled me to build my core strength and have given me my flexibility back.
My 6ft posture has also completely changed and standing for long periods no longer brings discomfort.
I really look forward to my class each week and find the tuition.
Feedback really helps me get the most from my body, even with a knee injury.
Would highly recommend.

I have attended several Pilates classes over the years. I have to say that Rachel is by far the best.
The way the instructor explains each exercise, what we should be doing and how to achieve it, is fantastic!
I’ve never really understood Pilates until now.

Before I started Pilates with Rachel, I felt I was living half a life. My back had plagued me for three years.
Because of the pain I had stopped exercising, gained weight and was losing confidence daily.
By contrast I find I have total confidence when exercising with Rachel – she is so highly trained and knowledgeable that I know I will be able to complete the exercises.
I now wake up not thinking my back aches – it does not control my day.
Pilates is not only helping me to control my back pain but is also helping me to like myself again. Thank you Rachel.

Amazing 121 today, as always: you dig a little deeper each time and encourage me to go further.
I feel fab and my back feels amazing. Thank you

Please can I have a mini-Rachel to keep in my pocket.
I feel so good after this morning’s 1-2-1

Thank you, thank you Rachel.
After struggling with a pulled muscle under my arm for nearly a week I had a 1-2-1 with Rachel this morning and we worked on stretching and breathing. Just feel so much better.

Great class Rachel. I love Zoom & so happy you have/are keeping us going.
And not forgetting a few belly laughs as always

Rachel, I found your ‘hands on’ approach made the concept you are trying to teach more understandable.
Some of the terms used to get us to ‘connect something to something else’ is not always easy to visualise
whereas when you guided me with your hands on my body as to what I was trying to achieve,
it made much more sense. Thank you

Rachel, thank you for yesterday’s session.
Woke up still feeling stretched and flexible; best I’ve felt for some time!!
Really appreciate your patience in getting me mobile again
