Move. Breathe. Strengthen. Align. Restore.
P I L A T E S. N A T U R A L L Y.
I teach in‑person classes, online, 1:1 & 2:1 Sessions, welcoming all ages and abilities.
For Every Body.
The whole body is considered: it’s not just about working the core. The core provides a secure foundation for stability, balance and posture, and together we work deep within our centres and make our way out to the extremities.
My comprehensive training and many years of experience allow me to help those with structural imbalances, dysfunctional movement patterns, or those wishing to complement other training needs. Others come simply for the pleasure and fulfilment of practising Pilates.

Client Reviews.
Paula is a fantastic Pilates Instructor
who has taught me in class and online for many years. She is alert to student movements, remembers our different needs and offers appropriate levels, reminding us to go at our own level and pace. Her verbal and demonstrated instructions are clear and she updates her teaching of the different muscle groups constantly. Her enthusiasm has inspired me to train regularly and Pilates makes a huge difference to my physical and mental wellbeing.
— Chris Child, London“I have attended Paula's classes for 16 months from a complete beginner. I am now fitter, stronger, more flexible and toned than I have been for a long while. Paula is an excellent instructor who clearly has a great depth of knowledge and experience. She explains and demonstrates every position clearly, including which muscles are being exercised. She is careful to work you at your level and pace and recognises specific health issues. My training has increased in intensity and complexity over the 16 months and I am very pleased with the progress I have made.”
— Rob Tolfts, Marlborough“Paula's classes have been a vital part of my fitness routine for the last 10 years. Her knowledge of Pilates is so great that no class is ever the same and her explanations of movements and how they affect the body is fascinating. Thoroughly recommended if you want the best.”
