Chronic Pelvic Pain

Chronic pain conditions can be incredibly debilitating and isolating. I know I have suffered with back pain since a spinal injury when I was seven and have had chronic puedendal neuralgia since an attack on the subway in 2010.

These experiences have totally changed the way I teach as I have had to learn to work WITH my nervous system to allow me to function at all.

I also use mindfulness, CBT and hypnotherapy to help with pain management and down regulation of pain systems.

Success Stories

My prolapse symptoms are not only improved, I have taken up running again - V. B, Edinburgh

After 20 years of minor incontinence I had just accepted that this was my lot. After one term of women's health classes with Fiona I no longer plan my life around staying close to the loo and am loving it. - G. T, Edinburgh

I signed up to Fiona's women's health classes by accident. They seemed really gentle but have made a huge difference to my core. I feel much stronger even my regular advanced Pilates classes feel much easier - G. R, Edinburgh

Fiona was the first Pilates teacher I have worked with who very gently tackled my neck injuries head on, rather than just telling me not to do half the exercises in class. For years I would take to my bed several times a week. I rarely get headaches now, when I do they aren't as bad. Best of all I join in with activities with my children I wouldn't have thought possible three years ago - H. J, Stirling

Pilates Tower Classes

Want to try a Pilates Apparatus class? But don't feel comfortable with the idea of the Reformer's moving carriage then why not try a Tower class.

The Cadillac or tower is great for creating length within the body while challenging your core. You have the addition of springs and bars to help you to refine your movements or increase the challenge of your session... Giving you a session that will help you to improve your mobility, and work your core without any crunches leaving you feeling energised and possibly taller.

Wunder Chair Classes

Looking for a challenging class that will take your Pilates practice to the next level?
Want to improve strength, balance and mobility?
Like the idea of small group classes using Pilates apparatus.

Possibly the most challenging piece of Pilates apparatus. Many of the exercises are performed standing, sitting and some weight bearing through the hands which requires more balance, coordination and strength. These are small group classes with a maximum of 6 people.
