Deidre – Pilates Instructor

“Doing Pilates makes me happy! Teaching Pilates allows me to make others happy. This is a winning combination.” – Deidre

A career in school learning support has given me the experience in caring and teaching which has enabled me to add to my love of health and fitness by becoming a Pilates Instructor.

Confidence grown from a long, part-time entertainment career has given me the confidence to share my knowledge of fitness and Pilates. Exercise should be fun and achievable.

A strong mind and body is the ultimate goal at any age. The road we take to achieve that goal may change but we are all heading in the same direction. Passion for enabling this for every body is my driving force.

Life is better when you feel strong and confident.

Navigating fitness through lifestyle and hormonal changes can be challenging. A personal understanding of the changing needs and adaptions required to achieve our health and fitness goals as we age, along with the deep desire to share with others, has led me to MPF and Pilates. Here, we grow together.

Life is full of obstacles, don’t be your own biggest obstacle.

Yes we can!!
