About Me
I specialize in classes for people with Parkinson’s, using PWR!Moves as well as teaching FLexercise classes. As someone living with Parkinson’s, I understand the importance of exercise in maintaining mobility and managing symptoms. I have taught FLexercise classes for over 30 years and bring this experience to my Parkinson's classes. Teaching all my classes has shown me how exercise can reduce Parkinson's symptoms, improve balance, increase flexibility and strength, ease aches, and, importantly, provide a fun, social experience where participants make lasting friendships!

Parkinson's Exercise Classes
I teach a Parkinson-specific exercise class that does “function exercise" to keep you moving and doing more of what you want to do! As you practise, you will be challenged physically and cognitively while working on fitness goals of strength, balance, agility, aerobics, and flexibility. Exercises are designed to counteract your PD symptoms, improve your fitness, and increase your daily activity. This whole body, function-focused exercise class will push you to do more than you think you can in a fun, social and empowering environment! Sessions are adapted to your ability. PWR!Moves Instructors can collaborate with your physiotherapist or occupational therapist if you have specific rehabilitation targets. Music is used in a class to help with motivation and increase movement.
FLexercise Classes
The FLexercise system blends the principles of correct body alignment, joint mobilisation, muscle strengthening and lengthening and coordinated movement without tension. Delivered to a great mix of musical genres, the system has something for everyone. There is no pre-prescribed choreography and this allows me to adapt exercise and movement for each participant whilst enabling them to enjoy the benefits of a group exercise environment. Class participants report aches and pains are reduced, balance improves, mental health issues are less acute, they become more body aware and have fun. I have people in my classes pre-, post-op for hip; knee replacement; arthritis; osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease.
