"After a number of years dealing with pelvic floor issues, including a referral to hospital, a friend recommended Lesley. Following a couple of private consultations, I had the confidence to join her regular classes. I have really noticed a huge improvement and will continue to attend the classes, which are welcoming and friendly. Lesley is professional, sensitive and offers excellent practical guidance and support "

"I had diastasis following the birth of my second child, despite lots of exercise I still had a noticeable "mummy tummy". Lesley taught me a few simple daily pilates exercises and this combined with attendance at her class made a huge difference in just a couple of months. Thank you Lesley!"
