I love moving and enjoy motivating others to enjoy moving too.
My teaching journey began in the early 90’s when I was mentored by my own dance teacher who taught me how to share my passion in a way that was inclusive, fun and creative.
In 2001 I began my journey into learning and teaching various fitness disciplines, Exercise to Music, Step Aerobics, Aqua aerobics, Kaiser Spin and Circuits.
In 2005 after 3 years training with the coaches training institute UK, I became a certified practising co-active life coach. I still practice coaching when the timing is right and the next client crosses my path.
In 2008 I discovered and trained in the fitness brands Zumba, Zumba Toning, Zumba Gold, Zumbatomic, Piloxing, Piloxing Knockout and Fitsteps.
These fantastic, energising, fun and effective disciplines now form the basis of my FEEL GOOD FITNESS classes.
In 2016 I was drawn towards yoga in a search to find balance for my teaching and personal well-being. In 2017 I completed 500hrs yoga teacher training with YMCAfit, Vinyasa Yoga teacher training with YMCAfit and Yin Yoga teacher training.
In 2019 I was signposted to the Egoscue Method of health through motion. This has not only helped heal my own niggles but has inspired me to share this practice with my classes. In 2019 I embarked on a 12 month training course with the Egoscue University and am now a Certified Postural Alignment Specialist.
The EGOSCUE METHOD absolutely makes sense to me it is based on science, it WORKS and I LOVE IT! have a look at the Lakes Eposture page to find out more.
The pandemic forced me to take my classes online, and I am so glad I did. Now I can reach people virtually all around the world and I am enjoying offering my services to corporate clients and charities.
But most importantly I value the people who come to class, they lift me up, make me smile, keep me grounded and very grateful.
