ABOUT
AC WITH LOVE
My products and programs are inspired by decades of my 1:1 client work, where I draw upon my BSc Sports Science combined with tried-and-tested holistic wellness traditions. It’s all about improving the relationship of your Mindbody and through that: healing your pain, while improving your performance.
After years of treating back and postural related pain, low energy, and general well-being with movement and physical awareness, I’ve refined the techniques and found simple tools that really do help.
Combining the best of my tried-and tested exercise programs and products, I aim to take the potential of self-healing out in the world, to democratise it. A wellness brand straight from the source!
MY STORY
I grew up on the beaches of Perth, Western Australia; I started exploring the healing potential of movement with a degree in Exercise and Sports Science.
I quickly realised that far too many people are in unnecessary amounts of physical pain – not least, by suffering some myself, following various sporting injuries. While I understood that strength and conditioning are excellent ways to improve posture, boost energy levels and mitigate pain, I didn’t enjoy gym environments, which seemed heavy handed and masculine to me.
That’s when I discovered Pilates, back then: a relatively obscure practise. It immediately struck me as a brilliant, well-ordered, bio mechanically-focussed way of enhancing the body, with grace, and minimal strain.
Over the past 13 years I’ve worked one-on-one with clients in Australia, the US and UK.
I’ve treated everyone from secondary school students, to city workers and the rich and famous, helping them to improve the working order of their body, and most of all: to understand it.
I’ve realised that everyone wants the same thing: to look and feel their best. This can actually be achieved pretty simply. Your body wants to be well, all it takes is a little guidance, a little nudge in the right direction, and the body and mind will find its own way.
I’ve extended my repertoire beyond strength and conditioning and Pilates, to Gyrotonic and Psychotherapy. The link between the body and brain is undeniable. It’s impossible to enhance one without working toward enhancing the other.
I’m currently splitting my time between London and Cornwall, working with clients in person and online, and managing AC WITH LOVE the brand.
