Testimonials
"I've seen a jump up in progress at my pole classes, I am doing moves I haven't done since I was very early in pregnancy which is amazing as I thought I needed to lose weight to get back to those moves but actually I can see now I was held back by my healing process. I'm super pleased how it's been since seeing you and thank you so much for your help!”
"I want to thank you most sincerely for all your help, advice and good counsel this summer. You really have enabled me to turn the corner, and begin to see that I can move on from persistent pain ruling my life. Quite remarkable. And you did this with great thought, professionalism, quiet humour and deep understanding. I am so very grateful."
I went for a spontaneous 8mile jog last week and really focussed on my form and keeping my hips as level as possible. I've had no where near as much pain as I had been experiencing previously in my pubic bone and the pelvic floor heaviness was massively improved also. What you do is so special, to be able to combine all of your knowledge into 1 patient rather than them having to see a load of different health care professionals for disjointed care who still may not have been able to pick up the problem. Thank you!
I want to thank you for your support last year following our initial appointment. Had it not been for your advice, I would still be struggling with the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence and wondering what else I could do to try and minimise the impact on my day to day life, which I have been living with for 8.5 years.
Following our appointment last year, I made an appointment with my GP and, after a year's wait, I attended an appointment with a surgical consultant. She was amazed at how well informed I was as I explained how you had taken me through all the options and NICE guidelines. She said I was the best prepared patient as I had already completed my Patient Decision Assessment! I underwent an autologous fascial sling procedure. The procedure was a sucess and I am in the early stages of recovery. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all your support. I look forward to the day that I can do Junior Park Run with my girls without the support of Contiform and Tena!
I initially found Liz soon after having my first baby in 2022, drawn specifically to the unique offering of Scar Work to help with the appearance of both my cesarian scar and 3 scars relating to my endometriosis surgery. Within no more than 4 sessions, all the scars had virtually vanished (even through my super critical lens!)
As a stage 4 endometriosis sufferer, I was delighted when my treatment with Liz then started to tackle helping me with the complexities of this very painful condition. I have engaged with a multitude of professionals over the years and without question, Liz is the most compassionate, considered and effective practitioner I have encountered and delivers a tailor made holistic treatment approach - appreciating the body as a whole and that everything is interlinked, which is an essential consideration with a condition like endo but which seems to be so often overlooked. Liz's way of working has helped me with my endometriosis more than anything else I have ever tried and is something I depend upon as part on my ongoing endo management, attending sessions with Liz every 6 weeks.
Finally, and something that has been absolutely central to my healing following a 5 year journey with infertility and IVF, has been Liz's skill and insightfulness at working holistically. Understanding and working from the perspective that so often our bodies and emotional/mental states are at one, has not only meant that physically things have repaired for me, but the physiological healing has been tremendous too.
I could not recommend Liz more - an extremely skilled, kind, compassionate, insightful, intuitive, empathic, holistic practitioner - whose treatment (without any exaggeration) has changed my life. I so look forward to our regular sessions and they will always remain an essential part of my self care routine.
"I heard about Liz’s postnatal Backs & Bumps classes from a friend and I'm very pleased that I signed up! I started classes when my daughter was 6 weeks in a bid to get some strength back into my body and Liz really focuses on the key areas that Mums struggle with, it certainly helped my back and shoulders. I had a section so Liz always made sure that the level of exercise was correct to ensure the best recovery. As a new mum there are not many exercise classes that you can take your baby to so this Pilates course has been great - if your baby needs a feed or cuddle it's fine and everyone understands as they are all in the same boat! I would recommend this class to anyone new mum that wants to do mid to low level exercise in a stress free environment."
"After my baby boy was delivered by cesarean last year I was left feeling really confused by which exercises I could or couldn’t do after the 6 week check, particularly as I had a slight separation of the stomach muscles. I came across Liz’s website and saw a ‘Mummy MOT’ which I booked - and I am so glad I did. Liz was fantastic! She instantly put me at ease and completed a very thorough assessment which gave me confidence in the exercises I was able to do. I would definitely recommend liz's Mummy MOT to any mum!"
"I had pelvic girdle pain (PGP) in pregnancy and was keen to find a pregnacy Pilates class with a teacher that really understood the condition. I was delighted to find Liz's class and feel it really helped me maintain my strength and mobility throughout the pregnancy. I found Liz's classes friendly, fun and a great work out, whilst still being safe for those with back and pelvic issues. I would highly recommend the class to other pregnant ladies."
“Liz has been an absolute inspiration and really excellent instructor right from the beginning when I attended a Mummy MOT and subsequent postnatal pilates. I had a lot of confidence in her as she is a registered physio, therefore assessing ad helping me a great deal with a chronic back condition. Liz was very easy to talk to, brilliant teacher, and wonderful with the babies too! My strength and flexibility improved with her classes, and it was also a lovely way to unwind. I would highly recommend her to anybody.”
“Thank you for all your help in the pregnancy, you really made a world of difference in so many ways. Your advice and your treatment was beyond what I could ever have expected.”
"Thank you for all your help. Its amazing what a mental drag it is when the pelvic floor is not working. I have sat in the loos at the gym and cried when my pelvic floor let me down whilst on the treadmill. Its so demoralising, but now I feel stronger both mentally and physically."
"Liz is amazing! I went to her for a Mummy MOT two years after the birth of my daughter. I had suffered with hip pain during my pregnancy which continued after the birth. I had tried everything and seen various doctors and osteopaths, I was getting a bit desperate to be pain free. Liz put me at ease as soon as I met with her, she is so friendly and chatty. After three sessions I am completely pain free and able to exercise again. I only wish I had been to see Liz earlier! I have recommended her to so many friends ...I can't praise her highly enough."
“Thanks so much for fitting me in last minute- and your thorough examination, treatment and helpful explanations about all this back pain stuff. It really helped to feel properly listened to and to be given tangible advice. My muscles are feeling more relaxed already!”
“The outcome is better than I ever could have hoped for, not only is my pelvic floor better but my back pain of 20 years has gone! I had an accident as a teenager resulting in several cracked vertebrae. Consequently, I suffered from back pain almost constantly and 2 pregnancies made it worse. 2 babies later and my pelvic floor needed some work, I didn’t want to put up with issues revolving around continence. Liz’s pilates classes were recommended to me and I particularly liked the fact Liz is a womens health physio. She instinctively knew when I was struggling and would tailor an exercise so I’d gain maximum benefit. My advice is to seek advice from a specialist physiotherapist. Normal doesn’t need to be leaking and pain just because you’ve had children.”
"Liz’s pregnancy Pilates classes are the perfect antidote to the aches and pains that accompany the physical changes that occur over the course of growing a human! Not only have I experienced a reduction in pelvic and back pain, but I also know that strengthening my pelvic floor is a vital investment to make now, for life after childbirth. Taking the time to work on stretching and building strength ensures a happier mom-to-be, and the time for guided relaxation allows one to connect with the new life and the changes ahead. I look forward to continuing my pilates journey with Liz in her postnatal Pilates classes!"
