Claire’s teaching has always been influenced by her own experiences. Initially, Pilates helped her recover from knee injuries as a young dancer and then greatly improved her form when she returned. Years later when she had her first son Claire discovered she had diastasis recti, where the abdominal muscles part along the line of the linea alba. Claire then studied this condition and trained in lots of ways to resolve it. Later after her third son she discovered she had a mild prolapse, this lead her into the next phase of study and training. Ultimately Claire was determined to learn what she could to understand, resolve and help other women with similar conditions. Not simply by giving exercises but by empowering women to understand their own anatomy, shift the paradigm around continence as a women and help them help themselves for the long term.

CLAIRE HAS NOW BEEN SUCCESSFULLY WORKING WITH WOMEN WHO HAVE RESOLVED INCONTINENCE AND PROLAPSE THROUGH THE USE OF HER TAILOR-MADE PROGRAM.
