ABOUT

Helen opened her first studio “Precision Pilates Parkdale” nearly 20 years ago and has been offering her services to the Windsor community since 2018. Whether you're an aspiring dancer, young or old, wanting to improve your overall fitness, or require rehabilitation from an injury, Pilates can help you!

We provide personalised Pilates sessions in a private setting or a small group setting in which you still work to your ability. 

Pilates gets your mind and body working together by emphasising proper breathing, improved spinal and pelvic alignment, and teaching the body to work as a whole unit, not just focusing on one part. Having “strong abs” will not get you out of pain, but understanding functional movement and integrating your whole system will! Just learning to breathe deeply using your whole body is also a great way to reduce stress and allow you to focus better.

By staying true to Joseph Pilates original principles, it is possible to modify the work to cater for all levels and body types. It is a safe, effective way to rehabilitate your body after an injury, by teaching correct motor patterns, allowing you to move in a safer more effective way. 

Helen originally trained as a dancer, and so has a special interest in working with dances and performers of all ages to help them avoid injury by strengthening their body and giving them skills to further enhance their dance technique. The level of flexibility required of dancers can often lead to injuries, as dancers do not always develop adequate strength to control their flex.  Helen has a unique ability to educate this client base by combining both her dance/performance knowledge and Pilates training. 

Under Helen's supervision, the studio is approved by National Pilates Training as Workplace Facilitation Site. You will often find student instructors assisting at various sessions. This programme is of great benefit to the students who are required to log 350 Work Experience hours under a qualified instructor and also to you the client, as you will often find yourself receiving extra assistance in your session.
