Moving Fascia® Diploma
We deepen the understanding of anatomy through embodiment, self-myofascial release and movement informed by the latest fascial research.
Register your interest
Join the Moving Fascia® Diploma to equip yourself with new understanding of fascial anatomy and translate it into self-release and movement techniques.
Understand fascial connections and relationships throughout the body
Explore the embryonic origins of fascia as the blueprint for our anatomy
Apply theoretical fascial concepts to better understand movement patterns
Learn self-release techniques relevant to the specific needs of your client
Restore movement through fascia focused integration
I am a movement specialist, Pilates teacher and myofascial release practitioner. My practice explores the fluid and transformative quality of breath and movement.
Through self-enquiry, a passion for anatomy and my extensive work helping people recover from injury, I have created Moving Fascia ®.
I believe that anatomy needs to be experienced through the felt sense, so I developed a programme in which we explore the fascial architecture through theory, embodiment, self-myofascial release and movement techniques.
I suffer from catamenial pneumothorax, a rare condition where I experience repetitive lung collapses. This has led me to a continuous investigation of fascia, focusing on the visceral space and its connections to breath and movement.
“I believe in an integral study of anatomy that can transform the way we experience our moving body, and evolve the way we witness movement it in others.”
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Anatomical Sciences from the University of Edinburgh and have over 500 hours of human dissection research in the dissection lab.
I have extensive clinic practice as a Myofascial Release and Visceral manipulation practitioner and have been an educator in various Pilates teacher trainings for the past 12 years. I founded Evolve Movement Education in 2013 and I am the owner of Brighton Pilates Studio, a Pilates and health centre in Brighton.
