I joined Mobilates in December 2023 having tried a free class offered through EDS UK. I signed up to a week’s trial and then had no hesitation in joining. I love the variety of sessions on offer and look forward to every class. I love the structure and support as well as the connection with others and find the attention to detail and careful adaptations so helpful and beneficial.

Mobilates now plays a huge part in supporting my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Neurological Movement Disorder, Addison’s Disease, Chronic Pain and Fatigue and Psychosis. Since joining Mobilates I have made significant progress and learnt so much from other members about my conditions and how to manage them.

I am privileged to be a part of a team that can help you to achieve your exercise goals but will also enable you to connect with others who really understand what it’s like to have lived experience of chronic health conditions, disabilities, mobility problems and mental health conditions.

I teach the British Gymnastics Love to Move programme every Thursday. Additionally, I volunteer as creative content writer - producing content for the newsletter and blog page as well as supporting with the development of some new website pages.

Away from Mobilates I work as a Peer Support Worker with Sport for Confidence and Activity Alliance on a programme called Include to Improve, that aims to increase high quality opportunities for disabled people to participate, volunteer and work within the sport and physical activity sector.

In my spare time I’m an Ipswich Town football fan, love to watch gymnastics and enjoy walks and cake by the sea.
