Diane began teaching Pilates in 2005 having qualified with Body Control Pilates at an advanced level with both matwork and apparatus. Since then, she has worked with physiotherapists and osteopaths, gaining
an invaluable insight into the human body’s biomechanics. Her teaching allows her to work with people of all ages and levels of fitness and
enables her to teach a wide range of professions from office-bound
workers to performers and athletes.
After suffering from pelvic organ prolapse after the births of her
two children, Diane trained with the International Hypopressives
Council in using breathwork and movement to heal her symptoms,
and was so impressed that she wanted to help other women who
had suffered like she did.
Diane is a member of the Body Control Pilates Association and a
supervising teacher for Body Control Pilates with matwork teacher
training students.
