Her own journey into Pilates began after the birth of her first child, when she was searching for a way to rebuild strength and reconnect with her body. What started as a personal need quickly became a lifelong passion. She went on to train extensively, eventually specialising in the classical Pilates method, known for its structure, precision, and lasting results.
Today, Karen continues to deepen her knowledge through ongoing training with leading classical Pilates teachers. She is a graduate of the Everybody Pilates Master Mentor programme and also mentors trainee teachers, supporting the next generation of teachers while maintaining the high standards of classical Pilates training in Surrey.
