Karen, a former professional Ballet dancer, trained with Alan Herdman in 1999 and then in 2000 opened The Pilates Studio in Taunton, one of the first equipment based studios outside of London.
Having always had an interest in corrective exercise Karen worked closely with local physios and osteopaths to help with posture related issues and rehabilitation. During this time she developed a fully comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training programme affiliated with Alan Herdman.
In 2012 she joined forces with Sarah Sessa MSc, MCSP for the Pilates teacher training programme and then together in 2015 they founded The Physio & Pilates Rehab Centre in Clevedon and more recently the Clifton Pilates Studio, Bristol, from where the teacher training course is now based.
