Support that starts with you

Expert care. Individual attention. Your goals.

I combine more than 25 years of physiotherapy experience with specialist Pilates and Reformer training to help you move at a pace that feels right for you.

Move with more confidence

A careful assessment helps me understand how you move, what may be limiting you and what you would like to achieve.

Build strength at the right level

Your exercises are selected, adapted and progressed for your body rather than taken from a generic programme.

Receive individual guidance

You have my full attention throughout, with clear explanations, corrections and a home programme where helpful.

A programme designed around you

Physiotherapy and Pilates, working together

Your first session begins with a comprehensive physiotherapy assessment. I’ll listen to your concerns, discuss your health and movement history, and look at the activities you would like to return to or improve.

I will then create a personalised programme that may combine physiotherapy, Pilates and Reformer Pilates. The aim is to help improve your movement, reduce pain, build strength and support your long-term health at an appropriate pace.

No previous Pilates experience is needed. I will explain each exercise clearly and adapt it as your needs and confidence change.

Why work with Lucy?

Physiotherapy expertise with individual attention

I have worked as a Chartered Physiotherapist for more than 25 years, including 16 years in the NHS and more than a decade as a Senior Chartered Physiotherapist at Poole Hospital.

Alongside my physiotherapy experience, I hold specialist Pilates qualifications and completed the MK Pilates Reformer Diploma in April 2026.

This combination allows me to look beyond the exercise itself. I can consider your health history, observe how your body moves, explain the purpose of each exercise and adapt your programme when needed.

Ask Lucy a question

Do I need previous Pilates or Reformer experience?

No. I will explain each exercise and tailor it to your needs, whether you are completely new to Pilates or have previous experience.

Not necessarily. Your session may combine physiotherapy, clinical Pilates, Reformer Pilates, strength work, balance training and mobility exercises. I will choose the most appropriate approach following your assessment.

A one-to-one appointment may be a helpful way to return to movement with individual guidance, but suitability depends on your circumstances. I will assess your needs and work within advice from your consultant, GP or other healthcare professional.

Karen Young

I’ve just had my first Pilates session with Lucy at St Peter’s church and felt I got so much from it. Her attention to detail with every member of the class was very reassuring and we were made to feel very welcome and included. I look forward to making this class part of my weekly routine and to improving my strength and balance which I have noticed has declined recently.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Karen, for your lovely 5⭐️ review of my physiotherapist led Pilates class. I love the details and trying to help each of you as we learn the Pilates technique to get stronger and get moving safely. Good plan to attend regularly to make a real difference in improving your strength and balance. See you next week!

Rosie Jones

It has taken me a long time to find a professional Pilates instructor, who can safely aid my ailing arthritic bones and posture without creating further damage. Lucy’s was very helpful in providing information beforehand. She was very welcoming and her techniques focused on every element of the human skeleton, including stretching exercises for feet and toes! Lucy is a top notch, highly qualified professional. My first lesson found me limping in yet walking out, almost pain free. The relief on my bone on bone knee, lasted for around 6 hours. I understand that I need to work at regularly maintaining the movements at home as well as in her class, so that I can continue to work towards being as pain free and active as I can be. Under Lucy’s expertise and help, I hope to be able to achieve this going forward from week-to-week. I highly recommend Lucy’s classes. If I was able to have the time to attend three per week I certainly would.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Rosie. That’s a very lovely detailed review which I really appreciate you taking the time to write. I put a lot of time and effort into running my classes and keep training because I love what I do. It’s very satisfying when I see and hear that my classes really do help - and that was one lesson - imagine how you will be in 1 year!

Alex Clapperton

Lucy was recommended by Poole hospital physios after some minor knee ligament damage 5 years ago and I've been going ever since. Pain and agility are much improved and the classes are fun. I look forward to them every week.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Alex for your lovely review. It is and has been a pleasure to teach you Pilates for the last 5 years and it’s very satisfying to see you improving.

Has really helped my back and flexibility. I recommend.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Martha for your 5 star lovely review of my physiotherapist led Pilates classes at St Peter’s church.

Philippa Goodwin

I've only recently started attending Lucy's Pilates classes in Ashley Cross but am already feeling the benefits particularly in relation to my posture and mobilising my back & neck. She gives you lots to think about but explains everything really clearly & is so helpful to all in the class with individual corrections; it's a very welcoming environment with top class friendly tuition.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Philippa for your fabulous review. It’s a pleasure to help you improve your strength and mobility of your back and neck in my classes. 🤩

Jill Linpow

Having had hip replacements it’s taken me a while to find a class that suits me. Lucy’s chair Pilates is giving me back the confidence , she is extremely knowledgeable and I come away feeling energised . I’m hoping next year to return to floor Pilates .

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Jill for your lovely 5* review of my physiotherapist led chair Pilates classes. I’m so pleased you are feeling more confident with your movement. Next practice getting on and off the floor and then into my mat Pilates classes! 😊

Sue & Geoff Marjason

Lucy,s classes have been so helpful in the preparation of my hip replacement surgery, which has been a great success. I am know looking forward to her next terms classes , her professionalism, enthusiasm and Knowledge to continue gaining strength and enjoyment through movement.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Sue for your 5* review! I’m so pleased I have helped you pre your total hip replacement and that it has been a great success. Really looking forward to seeing you in class soon to see how you are doing and ready to get stronger. 😊

Angela Penwarden

After suffering from a traumatic accident, I was recommended to attend Lucy’s classes as part of my rehabilitation. Lucy’s excellent knowledge, teaching skills and passion, means we have an enjoyable smiley class, oh and we must remember to breathe! My posture, balance and flexibility have certainly improved and the great news is in September, I am moving from Chairlates to Mat Pilates which is a huge step for me. I highly recommend Lucy’s classes, the social events are an added bonus !

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Angela for your fantastic 5* review. It is a pleasure to teach you and see you improve so much whilst we smile and breathe and move!

Louise Mothersole

Lucie's classes are a joy! I Walk out at least 2 inches taller 😃

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Louise for your great 5* review 😊

Margaret Lewis

I have been going to Lucy’s Pilates classes for 8 or more years and find her classes so beneficial with improved balance, posture, muscle tone and bone density by way of gentle exercises to a level I’m comfortable with. I highly recommend Lucy’s classes for all ages.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Margaret. Wow time flies when we are having fun! That’s really helpful for others who may want to try Pilates. 😊🙏
