"Thanks Steff. Good to hear from u. Started doing bit of Pilates when get chance. Forgotten how achy shoulders get breastfeeding. I was induced for both births unfortunately and it helped knowing what was going to/might happen. The work I did with you helped loads - ball work in early stages and helping to progress. Focusing of breathing was soooo important. It was helpful in keeping me focus, not panicking and accepting the pain. Practicing Pilates has helped me in so many ways, it sounds really cheesy by when I first started pilates I didn't trust my body and didn't know what it needed. I have learnt to listen to my body and work with it. I wasn't scared by the pain because, although I wasn't necessarily in control, I felt I had tools to deal with it: lots and lots of walking, breathing and hip swaying. I didn't tell staff I was in labour til I was 9cm because I didn't want any intervention. Less than 2 hours late and 5 min pushing Martha was born. So thanks Steff. If I hadn't have done Pilates I wouldn't have felt able to be pregnant and look after children, let alone get throu the birth! Oh Nigel was a great support!" Katherine xxx
"Steff has taught me Pilates for over 18 months and in that time I have progressed hugely. She tailors exercises to my body and sporting needs which has helped me to understand how to maintain my levels of strength better. She is also great fun to work with." Laura

"A very practical and enjoyable introduction to Pilates. The style of
instruction is perfect for someone who wants to try and understand the
exercises and how they can be of benefit, and the attention to detail is
first class. The Cool Pilates studio is a well equipped, calm and
peaceful environment, conducive to concentrating on the job in hand.
Overall, 10 out of 10 ! " Rod
