Welcome to move & thrive

When our bodies feel good, we can properly realise our potential

There is so much we can achieve if we are robust and pain free

Hi, I'm Juliet

Pilates instructor, PT, amateur endurance athlete, health & fitness writer

based in Blackheath, London SE3

As a woman in her mid-50s, I never expected to have so many adventures

To travel to compete in endurance events, to find myself through long solitary runs, cycles and swims

In 2008 I stepped into a Pilates studio and changed my life

My body, and my attitude to what it could achieve were transformed - my posture, strength and flexibility all improved
I found myself setting and achieving goals I'd always assumed were out of my reach, like running half and full marathons
When practiced consistently, Pilates has the power to transform a broken body. Improving mobility, flexibility, core stability and strengthening essential smaller muscles.
I began pilates teacher training in 2011, qualifying in mat, reformer and comprehensive studio equipment
I now have a full pilates studio in my home including 2 reformers, trapeze table, chair, barrel, arc, Oov etc

I qualified as a personal trainer in 2019

Weight training empowered my now robust body to tackle more extreme goals
6 Ironman triathlon finishes since turning 50
Cycling 1000 miles Lands End to John O'Groats in 9 days
Swimming the Croatian archipelago, cycling from the Channel to the Mediterranean, running and hiking adventures
HYROX and DEKA fitness racing

I want to help others get the most from their bodies - using pilates, weight training, goal setting, Melt Method and stretching

Imagine what you could achieve if your body felt amazing…
