Extra Training and CPD – Ante and Post Natal Pilates, Pilates for Menopause, Pilates and the Pelvic Floor, Pilates for Hypermobility, Pilates for Scoliosis, The Power of Aging, Pilates for Injuries and Pathologies Susi started teaching exercise in 1993 while taking a year out from academic study. Fast forward 30 years and those studies are still on hold! During her three decades in the wellness industry, Susi has worked as an instructor, studio manager, personal trainer, therapist and ultimately as a senior manager. She took her first Pilates class in 1998 when introducing it into the studios she was running at that time. A regular practice developed later when she discovered how Pilates helped manage symptoms of low back pain that started during pregnancy. More recently, Susi has also found that her practice provides essential support during perimenopause. Aside from the many physical benefits of exercise, she appreciates the mindful aspect of Pilates, recognising the restorative value of an hour of concentration on movement and breath. Susi sees a regular Pilates practice as one key to maintaining strength, mobility and overall wellbeing into later life and is passionate about sharing the many benefits of Pilates with her clients. She has experience teaching a broad range of populations including those with back pain, hypermobility disorders (including EDS), pregnancy and menopause and has a particular interest in healthy ageing. As well as being a BASI comprehensive Pilates teacher, Susi is also a certified massage therapist, reflexologist, NLP master practitioner and coach. Having many years working alongside a large team of physiotherapists, osteopaths and other accomplished therapists, Susi is committed to her ongoing learning and development and loves helping others.
