I have worked with Physiotherapy and Pilates since 2008.
Initially Ballet and Samba were my passions of choice, but my horizons were widened when studying to be a Physiotherapist.
I have worked with Physiotherapy and Pilates since 2008.
With nearly two decades of experience as a physiotherapist, my approach has always gone beyond treatment to focus on prevention. Pilates has become an invaluable tool in that journey.
In my classes, I blend the classical repertoire of Joseph Pilates with the contemporary principles of STOTT Pilates, adapting movements to promote better balance, posture, efficient biomechanics, and full-body strength.
In 2020, I decided to expand my knowledge by studying complementary techniques that aligned with my background as a physiotherapist and Pilates instructor. That’s when I became certified in LPF (Low Pressure Fitness) – Hypopressive Technique.
LPF is a neuromyofascial training method combining postural and breathing exercises that protect the pelvic floor and spine.
It is currently recognised as one of the most effective approaches for Core training, enhancing activation of the transverse, oblique, and pelvic floor muscles.
In 2023, I became a mother myself and experienced firsthand the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy and postpartum. I also realised that recovery extends far beyond the traditional 40 days after birth. This personal journey brought me closer to clients navigating the same path, inspiring me to deepen my studies. That’s when I immersed myself in the world of fascia and fascial training, which I now integrate into my sessions and classes.
Today, I bring my knowledge and the Pilates studio experience directly to you – whether that’s online or face to face in the comfort of your own home.
I work with people of all ages and stages, including:
My goal is always the same: to help you feel stronger, freer, and more connected to your body.
I’ve been Sam’s client for over two years now. She has been knowledgeable and patient in helping me to deal with my long-standing back pain. She always prepares a workout that is fun, yet challenging, and delivers good results. She makes Pilates a pleasure.
Some of these sessions challenged both me and Sam but Sam always found ways to adapt and to move us forward.
Enough improvement came in the first four months for me to feel able to increase my session to twice a week; this was where the magic began to happen.
Sam is the most brilliant teacher I have ever had. What distinguishes her is her great attention to detail in instructions, and her dedication in pushing you forward so that you improve. I started lessons with her when I was diagnosed with low bone density and have been reassured that the muscles supporting my bones are getting stronger. On top of this she is such great fun and a lovely person. Thanks Sam.
