Heather Michaelides
Heather came to Pilates looking for conditioning for ballet, which she started as an adult beginner. She found that Pilates gave her the foundation that she lacked for ballet, and much more. A few years later she completed her VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Instructing Mat-Based Pilates with Future Fit, and soon after qualified as a Barre instructor with BarreConcept. Later she qualified to teach Levels 1 and 2 on both Reformer and the Cadillac with FITT.
She is now studying for the ISTD Intermediate Classical Ballet exam. And regularly attends calisthenics, aerial silks and hoop classes.
Ellie Wilkin
I found my passion for Pilates when I injured my neck a few years ago and Pilates was recommend as an aid for recovery. Three weeks after starting my first class she couldn’t believe how much my body and mindset had changed. I had the great pleasure of qualifying to teach with JPilates and look forward to growing my knowledge and skill set over the years to come.
I aim to bring a light hearted sense of fun to my traditional Pilates classes, working together to help you feel amazing!
