Having now completed 5 one to one sessions with Sam for bladder prolapse problems, I am delighted to say that my symptoms have all but disappeared!

No more night time visits to the loo and by day, much less frequency and urgency – amazing (especially at the age of 74!)

Sam was very helpful, professional and friendly throughout and I feel very fortunate to have been helped by her.

I’ve been going to classes with Sam for a couple of years now and my favourite class is definitely Barre. I love the music, the moves and the challenge it gives me. My strength, stamina, coordination and balance have all improved and I would recommend Barre for all

Sam was very helpful, professional and friendly throughout and I feel very fortunate to have been helped by her.

The 4-week intro block to Barre is an excellent way to work on strength, balance, flexibility and even get your heart rate up in a safe, low-impact format. It was a very welcoming group and I’d say it’s an accessible exercise for most people.

Following back-surgery, I have been coming to the Pilates Seniors classes for a couple of years. I have found these sessions of huge benefit in strengthening my core and so lessening pressure on the back. The classes are led in an atmosphere of serene purpose and thoughtful awareness and there is always great sensitivity to individual needs

I’ve attended both pregnancy and postnatal Pilates with Sam, and I really enjoyed both. The pregnancy class gave me the confidence to think positively about the birth experience and the postnatal class helped me to recover, to feel in good shape and to strengthen my pelvic floor again.

Sam is a hugely supportive teacher and the classes were always the right balance of challenge, relaxation and fun. I would definitely recommend the classes to other expectant and new mums.

Aside from the physical and mental health benefits I felt, I really appreciated meeting other mums and their little ones, and being able to share experiences.

Sam adapted all of her classes to suit my needs. Being over 3 years postpartum, I didn’t feel like I shouldn’t be there. Instead, I felt empowered and achieved great results.

I would recommend to anyone pre or post natal regardless of how long it’s been since birth.

Sam’s classes are focused, well prepared and different each week. She gives different levels for all abilities, and she is hands on with getting people into the correct position.

Sam also gives ongoing information about how each move and position is helping areas of the body and skeleton. Other Pilates classes I’ve been to had a more ‘do as I do’ approach, with no other input. By comparison, Sam’s classes are personal, informative and tailored to the individual which is why I keep coming back!

I would like to thank Sam for the pregnancy Pilates classes. I feel so much more confident about the birth and have learnt how to move my body when the real contractions happen. I will certainly concentrate on doing the exercises Sam taught us about opening the pelvis

Classes with Sam are really enjoyable, with a carefully planned level of challenge for folks who want to improve their core strength and flexibility. Very professional and knowledgeable teaching yet fun!

Having done the pregnancy pilates course with Sam I felt confident and prepared for my labour. The breathing techniques, birth positions and other advice given by Sam really helped me to focus on what I wanted for the birth of my child. The sessions were really beneficial for helping me stay active during my pregnancy.

During my labour I was able to stay calm and felt in control even when things didn’t go to plan. I am sure the course has helped me with my recovery and I’m looking forward to the postnatal classes to reconnect with my core and aid my full recovery.

My First Aid session with Sam was really helpful. it was good to have a reminder to press pause on the overwhelm and notice the small steps and techniques that will help make a difference to bring me back to neutral

We really enjoy our annual trip (now our third visit) to St Andrews and Sam’s classes. The tailored classes for our girls weekend are hard to beat. I can’t think of anywhere else that could match what you do – it was another great experience and my aching muscles reminded me that not only was it fun, it did me some good too.

The 4 week intro block to Pilates is for all ages. I would definitely recommend giving it a go to help posture and core muscles. It makes you think about your own body and how Pilates can help you.

Sam was very reassuring. She talked us through each step with ease, and was very accommodating to those that were less able.

Sam’s classes are friendly, welcoming with expertise and enthusiastic instruction. There are benefits for everyone, from warding off creakiness to really building up strength and alignment. I thoroughly recommend her classes.
