Client Testimonials

J & A Seddon

A Pilates class or workshop with Julie is never dull and is always effective. Julie delivers a packed session of education, movement, posture, body therapy and lots of fun using her natural gift as a teacher to small groups where she is able to give individual and personalised support within the group.

As an Osteopath, I frequently see patients who have been in pain and recovered and would benefit from high quality Pilates instruction with an instructor who understands how to tailor their exercises to their needs. Julie is a thorough and knowledgeable Pilates instructor, who goes above and beyond industry requirements in training and continuous education to provide the very best for her participants. I would recommend anyone thinking of trying Pilates to contact Julie to see how she may be able to help them.

S Burgess - Osteopath

There's never a feeling of "one size fits all" in Julie's group classes. Not only does Julie quickly learn and remember everyone's name she knows all our individual bodies to the tiniest detail, what we need to work on, how we might cheat(!), when we could push ourselves a little harder but also when we need to adapt or just be kind to ourselves. And if that isn't enough it's always worth coming to class for Julie's extraordinary imagery: dipping toes into puddles, wearing tiaras, manoeuvring arms into and out of tight sleeping bags (??)........ I could go on!!......but they're fun and they work!! Bottom line: I always feel better going out than coming into class. I have been attending Julie's classes for the last 5 years!

Julie is such an amazing Pilates teacher I can't recommend her enough. She makes classes fun and always varies the content so that no two classes are ever the same. There are always different levels depending on how your body feels on the day and no pressure to do too much. My posture has improved no end since I started Julie's lessons and my lower back has never been happier.

J Anderson

I have been going to Julie's Pilates classes for about 10 years now. Julie is an excellent teacher. She notices what each individual is doing and gives good advice to each class member. She always gives options to each exercise ranging from easier to harder. Each person can do what is appropriate for them.
I always leave the class feeling better mentally and physically than when I went in.

A Brown

I’ve always enjoyed Pilates and had numerous teachers over the year. Julie, however, is by far the best. Her passion is infectious and her desire to understand how the body works impressive. My respect for her abilities and knowledge has grown tenfold in the past 8 weeks. I started suffering with severe back and leg pain around February. Following an MRI and diagnosis of a slipped disc I was signed off work and unable to move, much less exercise. Julie encouraged me to come for some sessions and gave me some simple exercises after assessing me. I followed them and was able to join the gentle class after three weeks. I’m now back in my regular class where Julie successfully adapts every exercise for every client in her class. I have no idea how she remembers everybody's individual needs but she does. She is an absolute professional and always striving to learn more and more. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone who wants to improve their posture and strengthen their core.

N Elliott

Julie's enthusiasm and commitment to Pilates instruction is inspiring. Through the work I do with her in mat-based classes and one-to-one sessions, I have learnt huge amounts about my own body and how to keep it healthy. She knows exactly what level to take me to and I always feels that I have achieved something. She is patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable and the qualities she brings to a session make Pilates a joy to do. Classes have become an essential part of my life. She accepts all the difficulties people present with calm confidence, altering exercises for individuals as appropriate. Sessions are varied and fun often using a variety of small equipment. Over a three year period I had both my hips replaced and her preparation and rehab exercises made it possible for me to have a smooth and speedy recovery. No one is left to struggle and most importantly I feel safe in her hands.

L Hodgkinson

I am not supple. I am a middle-aged man with a variety of health issues who reached out to Julie many years ago in a hope to improve his life.
I am now able to sit cross-leggèd. Understand that I haven’t been able to sit that way since early childhood. This is a sign of how working with Julie has given me the core strength and flexibility to fight my natural body restrictions.
Julie is an excellent teacher. She has a clear lesson plan, with a well-defined goal, but will adapt each exercise for any member of a group who is experiencing particular difficulties at that time. Nobody is allowed to perform exercises unless they are going to benefit from them.   I recommend Julie’s classes wholeheartedly and unreservedly.

T Knight

I went to Julie for help after struggling with back issues for years. After some one to one sessions Julie gave me some great exercises to get back on track and soon gave me the confidence to join her classes. With her care, patience and expertise I feel like a different person. Every class brings a new challenge for me and there are always plenty of laughs to help us along! Pilates with Julie is now part of my way of life - together with the addition of the occasional Body Rolling class - brilliant!

K Sheehy

S Linnell

I came to Julies Pilates class as an absolute novice but after the very first class I was sold! It's now been 3 years and I am still going. Julie is a great teacher and has a way of imparting her knowledge and love of Pilates which is fantastic. I would willing recommend Julie to anyone who asks!

J Williams

…just wanted to say a huge thanks for the functional Feet workshop. I loved it, found it so informative and so much of it very relevant for me at the moment. Your advice has made me so much more aware of things now, lots of work to be done.

S Jameson

Thank you so much for a very interesting and enlightening workshop yesterday. I don’t really know how you could improve on such a well thought out, action packed 2 hours! My feet have never worked so hard!...
