FAQ

I am a member of CIMSPA (Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity) accredited Level 3 Personal Trainer, 200 hr Yoga Instructor, fully insured with First Aid training. My current areas of specialist interest include Women’s Health, Pelvic Floor, stomas and post-surgery recovery. 

I gained extensive experience teaching Cardiac Rehabilitation for both the NHS and a charity. Over a decade, I acquired a vast amount of knowledge working within this clinical setting and as part of a GP referral scheme. I taught fitness classes and health education to a wide variety of people of mixed abilities and ages with not only cardiac conditions but also a range of other health conditions. 

I gained expertise in Women's Health, specifically pelvic floor matters, through professional courses and personal experience with pelvic floor dysfunction and stomas.

CIMSPA membership means I’m competent, qualified to teach and compliant with industry standards. 

Your safety comes first which is why the Client Screening Form must be completed and returned to me prior to starting your first yoga and exercise sessions.

This form helps me to assess if I require further information about your health that could affect your ability to participate in my classes. If necessary, I may need further information from your GP/healthcare provider and I will discuss this with you.

In line with GDPR compliance, any information you share will be used fairly, lawfully and transparently, your data will only be used for what it was intended for and never shared without your permission.

It is important to disclose any changes before you start each session to minimise the risk of exacerbating any muscle pain and injury or health condition.

Informing me of changes in medications taken are also important as some can affect your response to exercise.

If you experience any new injuries, pain or medical symptoms after completion of the Client Screening Form these changes must be discussed with me ahead or prior to the start of first session. Some examples are below:

Unusual symptoms may include, but are not limited to chest discomfort, nausea, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and joint or muscle pain and injury.

It is always a good idea if you have pre-existing health condition and are unsure about starting a new exercise programme to seek advice from your GP / healthcare provider.
