Meet Steph, Your Pilates Teacher
Get to know the heart and soul behind Steph Pilates Studio. Learn how Pilates transformed my life and why I’m passionate about helping others feel strong, balanced, and connected to their bodies.
How Pilates Changed
My Life
I first fell in love with Pilates over 15 years ago, but it was after a life-altering injury that I truly discovered its transformative power.
Pilates was my lifeline during my recovery from leg fractures and reconstructive ACL surgery. It gave me the strength, mobility, and confidence I needed to rebuild my body, and it’s this same sense of empowerment that drives me to share it with others.
Alongside Pilates, I’m also a qualified Barre instructor, bringing ballet-inspired strength, balance, and grace into my classes for a fresh and energising way to move.
I’m truly passionate about what I do. I love my classes and the people in them, and nothing makes me happier than helping someone feel stronger, more confident, and more at home in their body. Seeing my clients leave with a smile is the best part of my day.
‘‘Pilates is the perfect balance of strength, flexibility, and control, teaching us to listen to our bodies and embrace the power of mindful movement.’’
Beyond the Mat with Steph
Family life outside the studio…
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me at home with my husband and our three sporty kids, cheering from the sidelines, ferrying everyone to training, and loving every chaotic minute of it. Whenever I can, I head outdoors for a good walk to clear my head and soak up some fresh air.
I’m also a huge musical theatre fan and love to sing. It’s my happy place and my creative outlet, and I think it shows in my classes! There’s always a sense of rhythm, flow, and feel-good energy in the room, and I hope you leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived.
A Holistic Approach to Movement
In-class session with Steph
I blend classical and contemporary Pilates with Barre in a sequence-based approach to enhance strength, mobility, and stability. Barre adds ballet-inspired movement for tone, balance, and endurance, bringing rhythm and energy to every class. My classes are designed for all ages and fitness levels, with every session centred on safe, intentional movement and clear guidance.
I also believe mindfulness is a key part of how we move. Each practice is not only about building strength, but about tuning in, so you leave feeling more connected to your body, calmer in your mind, and supported from the inside out.
