Who is Safe Start for?
Safe Start is for you if you are:
- New to Pilates or returning after a break
- Managing pain, stiffness or a previous injury
- Unsure whether Pilates is right for you
- Looking for safe, personalised guidance on where to begin
What you’ll receive
- A health and movement form to complete before we meet
- A private 45-minute online appointment
- A review of your health, movement needs and current concerns
- A selection of Pilates exercises tailored to your most urgent needs

There is no pressure to join Core Strength Pilates afterwards. My recommendation may be one of my online programmes, a local studio, a combination of online and in-person Pilates, or another approach that suits you best.

FAQ's

“What if I’m completely new to exercise?”
That’s absolutely fine. This session is designed for beginners and for people returning after a long break. -
“Do I need any equipment?”
Comfortable clothing and a small clear space are enough and some sort of web camera (laptop, webcam, etc).. If you have a mat, great, but it’s not essential.
