Testimonials
-
Whilst staying in Bristol for a couple of weeks, I completed 5 sessions with Rachel.
My goals were to reintroduce myself to pilates, and increase confidence and also provide an outlet for self care during an extremely stressful time.
Rachel is a wonderful teacher! She is very personable, and caring, and extremely knowledgeable. Other pilates teachers I have worked with have skimmed over instructions, but Rachel was very detailed in instruction of exercises and in explaining how the body works during that exercise and why it is beneficial.
After my first session, I felt like I had grown 3 inches. By the end of the last session I felt like a new person. Thank you so much Rachel! I will plan to continue with Pilates in my own hometown.

I sought Rachel’s help as I was concerned about my posture and a lot of pain I was having when I was spending a lot of time at my desk.
Within a few short weeks, my whole body is straighter, my pain has gone, I’m stronger and more flexible and I actually can’t believe the difference it’s made!
Rachel’s knowledge and expertise is incredibly impressive and her focus and care is second to none. I’ve now built this type of Pilates into my life and will continue to develop this practice under Rachel’s guidance. To say I’m impressed is an understatement! Amazing stuff!!!
