"I am grateful everyday for the Pilates Barre. It has been a life changing place for me. I was someone who dreaded exercise and was often full of excuses. My self esteem was low, I had no core strength and quite poor posture. I was the heaviest I had ever been after my second child. I knew I wanted to be a fit and healthy mum, but I had no clear direction.
I remember walking nervously into my first class at the Pilates Barre. I had never participated in any dancing classes or pilates before. I was greeted with warmth and support. I used muscles that had been forgotten and was happy and excited to do so! I left my first class smiling and inspired. I knew I would return."
​
“Classes empowered my pregnancy experience by making me feel more in-tune with my body and stronger physically."​

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I went on to experience a much shorter labour and natural childbirth this time, one that required no drugs. I recommend Skye’s services to everyone as I believe she is the best in her field".
