Drawing from a mixture of movement practices and therapies I have trained in over the past 23 years including pilates, yoga, yoga tune up, hanna somatics, physical therapy, anatomy in motion and my personal practice feldenkrais to bring a movement class that is designed to invite us on a journey through mind and body with an intention of quieting our sympathetic drive (fight or flight) and move towards a state of parasympathetic bliss

Pelvic Floor Health

Private trainings can be arranged

this 6 week course is geared towards educating women in finding control over their pelvic floor muscles.

General population are probably lacking in tone but in the exercise world and people I deal with, there are a huge amount of women that are too tight. You can also be lacking tone in one area and not in another so we can be

• Lacking tone

• Too tight

• Too tight in one part and too loose in another

A healthy muscle is a muscle that has full range of motion, its not too tight or too loose. A tight muscle is a muscle in a contracted state and is as weak as a slack muscle, neither can move well.. Same problem but on different ends of the spectrum.

TOO TIGHT!!!

• Sitting can be painful

• Sex can be painful

• Pelvic health checks (smears) can be painful

• Suffer from stress incontinence *

• Suffer from urge incontinence**

• Constipation

• IBS - very big association with both tight pelvic floor and abdominal muscles

*Stress incontinence - can be associated with too tight or too slack - this is when a stressor like coughing or sneezing can cause leakage or urine

** urge incontinence is when you think you have the smallest bladder in the world and think you need to pee all the time but when you go, theres hardly anything.. This also has a behavioural component to it

LOW TONE!!!!

• Stress incontinence

• Prolapsed organs (bladder, uterus, rectum)

• Vaginal flatulence

Strength & Mobility for Karate Athletes

Private trainings can be arranged

After starting karate late in life, I quickly learned that this movement practice had a missing piece, hence why I have developed the strength and mobility for athletes program.

Through my own karate practice, observing my movement and the movement of others, it is quite evident that a lot of the time athletes lack true strength and mobility and are using pure momentum to execute their movement, making them more vulnerable to injury. This training focuses on specific strength and mobility exercises to enhance one’s training, whilst increasing range of motion using a safe and effective approach to achieve one’s goals.
