About Me

Hi, I'm Andrea...Physiotherapist, Pilates Instructor and founder of Core Wellness Studio.

​

I've been a fully qualified Physiotherapist since 2010, working in the NHS for over 10 years and specialising in musculoskeletal issues, before moving into Private practice and into the world of Women's Health.

​

In 2016, I had a complex hip operation and that's how I fell in love with Pilates. Pilates was a big part of my pre/post op rehab & it was a long slog. I can totally relate to you if you are in pain, frustrated with your body and have a longing to get it back to where it was. I know how it feels not to be in control of your body and start from scratch and rebuild yourself. Now I have never felt stronger since training in both Matwork & Reformer Pilates regularly. I love moving my body every day and new challenges.

​

In 2019, I began teaching Pilates classes in Liverpool City Centre and running pop-up well-being events. During the global pandemic, I switched everything online and as we emerged out of lockdown in 2021, I decided to leave the NHS and moved Core Wellness Studio to my hometown of St. Helens. 

​

I now specialise in teaching Prenatal and Postnatal Pilates in St. Helens, with group classes held at The Nest. I work as a Physiotherapist privately at Pitter Patter Clinic and New Wave Physio. Here I offer Physiotherapy for Pregnancy Related Musculoskeletal conditions and 1-2-1 Matwork & Reformer Pilates. 

​

I believe Pilates is a game changer in helping people to move fearlessly and without pain. I love what I do, the best bit is instilling confidence in my clients and being part of their transformation. 

​

My loves besides Pilates...

 

Being outdoors... whatever the weather, getting up a mountain always recharges me

 

Brunch & coffee shop dates with family and friends

 

Sun & Snowboarding holidays & City break adventures.

​

Lifting weights, Yin Yoga,  Boxing... I love variety in my workouts.

​

I would love to see you at a class soon.

​

Andrea
