“I have had my fair share of pilates teachers over the years so I feel like I can say with some assuredness that Dominique is both incredibly knowledgeable and uniquely intuitive. The added bonus is that she is intellectually curious as well; she is constantly integrating new approaches to health and well being into her teaching. I count myself lucky to have her as a teacher as I know without a doubt that I am a far more optimal version of myself than I would otherwise be! ”

“I have been having Pilates lessons with Dominique for several years. I have always known I have bad posture and described as ‘round shouldered’; regularly had lower back pain and a painful shoulder, with restrictive movement. Her individual exercises are not all standard Pilates, but aimed at creating strength and flexibility in movement. Her attention to detail in checking every individual does them accurately, to get the proper benefit, make her an exceptional teacher. My posture has improved considerably, and importantly, I am aware of checking it. I consider how I go about tasks during the day, not just in class. My shoulder problem is completely gone, my back is hugely better too. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Dominique is a gifted teacher with the ability to focus on individual needs while also creating a happy shared atmosphere for the group. She is extremely knowledgeable and imparts her knowledge so we understand the thinking behind each exercise. I am happy to say that I have benefited immensely and count myself fortunate to be now stronger and more flexible as a result of her teaching.”

“After having my second child I developed serious joint pain, eventually undergoing a knee operation (arthroscopy), only to be diagnosed with advanced early onset osteoarthritis. The consultant outlined a depressing prognosis saying that my knee pain would just get worse leading to knee replacement when unbearable. Luckily, Pilates with Dominique has helped considerably. Dominique has tremendous knowledge about the body - each class feels like a wonderful opportunity to become aware of my daily habits and how to improve them. I’m now able to manage my knee condition by practicing at what I learn in class. Dominique is a wonderful and unique teacher who really cares for her students, I have no hesitation in recommending Dominique’s attentive and expert Pilates tuition to others.”

“I have been taught by Dom for over 6 years now. She is by far the best and most attentive teacher I have had (I know as I have had other teachers). The way she always checks at the start of the class how everyone is on an individual basis, then comes around to ensure you are “doing it right” is what makes the difference. Before starting I was seeing a chiropractor 3 times a month just to keep me moving due to a low disc issue in my back. I now no longer see my chiropractor at all. I would have no hesitation; in fact I have already recommended to my friends, attending classes run by Dom. If anything, she does not charge enough for the knowledge she has. If I had to do a review it would be 5 stars without any form of hesitation.”

“Having been to other Pilates classes over the years, we started going to Dominique’s classes almost two years ago. Right from the start we were impressed with her approach. She is absolutely brilliant and can tailor any lesson to suit an individual’s needs, and if you have an injury (old or new), she will not hesitate in changing a position so that you can still get the same benefits. We have certainly benefited from her skills and knowledge, so much so that any problems from past injuries are either improving or gone! We would not wish to go anywhere else now and can not recommend her enough”

“I love Dominique’s classes, they are hard and demanding and great fun. My core muscles have strengthened over the last 18 months, so much so that my back ache that bugged me for so many years has now gone. My flexibility and stability has grown at the same time as learning about my own body and its restrictions. This has enabled me to learn other sports as I now know my strengths and weaker points. Dominique’s attention to each class member is phenomenal, making sure that you are always correctly placed and carrying out the exercises properly, and literally stretching your ability. I am hooked!!”

“Following a period of severe back pain I was advised to join a Pilates class to improve my posture and muscle strength. That was 6 years ago. Dominique’s qualifications and knowledge of the human body make the classes interesting, varied and fun. Treating the 8-10 students in the class as individuals increases our personal progress.”

“Dominique was highly recommended to me as being a fantastic Pilates teacher. She is certainly that and more! Hugely knowledgable, dynamic and the kindest lady ever are a few words that spring to mind! I managed to join one of her classes almost 2 years ago and it has been the best experience. I would often get lower back ache but after my once a week hourly class it’s rare for me to suffer anymore. Dominique’s classes are small, friendly and really have the personal touch. She is incredibly knowledgeable about every part of your body and extremely approachable should you want an explanation. I LOVE my Pilates classes with Dominique and look forward to them every week! I would highly recommend her!!!”
— Cathy
“I have been attending Dominique’s classes for the past 3 years. Her approach is always very supportive and caring particularly any injuries and strains her clients may have picked up in life since the previous week. She continually researches relevant exercises to benefit her clients and supports their improvement. Best of all is the element of fun and variety she brings to her classes, all in all Pilates with Dominique is brilliant!”
— Wendy
“I have been taught Pilates by Dominique for four years. Her background in ballet and her knowledge of how the human body works shines through in her sessions. She is patient and calm, pitching her sessions to suit everyone in the class, ensuring that body positions are correct and exercises fit each individual. Dominique is, by far, the best Pilates teacher I have come across and I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
