Testimonials

“Katie’s excellence in delivering flexibility and movement, combined with wellness is remarkable. Her knowledge, insights and ability to connect with people is remarkable. It's no surprise that Katie's weekly classes are fully booked weeks in advance.  Katie is amongst the best you will find.” N.M

“I have been working with Katie for 2-3 years. When I started I felt that I could barely move my body properly. Since then Katie has helped me build my strength, flexibility and relationship with my body. Katie uses various interesting and tailored techniques to help me locate and use the right muscles to do the exercise. I feel stronger, healthier and more alive since starting our work together. Her classes are great fun as well as very very helpful. Couldn’t recommend Katie more !” T.H

“Katie is an absolutely wonderful pilates teacher. I have been taking classes with Katie for over four years now and she has been instrumental in helping me get back into shape after hip surgery. Katie takes a holistic view and is constantly alert to what is going on in her client’s bodies. Using her deep knowledge, Katie applies her creativity to get you working on exercises that will help build up strength and improve alignment and flexibility. No matter how I feel at the beginning of a class, I always feel so much better at the end of it. I would have no hesitation in recommending Katie, she has an amazing awareness and gently challenges her clients in a personable and individual way whilst always maintaining a sense of safety.” L.C

“I have attended Katie’s class for the past few years. She takes into account each individual’s own strengths and limitations/development areas and tailors the class accordingly so that despite it being a group class, you get individual attention. Katie has a pragmatic and flexible approach adjusting the class if someone has an injury or tightness. Katie’s class an essential part of my weekly training.” N.D

“I have been training with Katie for a number of years. I love Katie's teaching style and her knowledge is comprehensive. She has a gentle approach but a way of getting me to push myself yet also incorporating the pieces I enjoy. Every time I leave a class I bounce out delighted with myself and that's down to Katie.” L.G.

I am a multidisciplinary creative - which means I’ve worked through many different art forms, poetry being my foundation, and aerial dance, theatre and visual art are my other loves. I also teach pilates and movement and host workshops, retreats and sanctuaries based on my love of movement, meditation, reiki and the Celtic Wheel.

I was Artist-in-Residence at the Courthouse Arts Centre in Tinahely for a number of years, around covid, where I created my aerial performance and immersive installation, Threshold Ritual Haunting.

My creativity and my instinct for movement has brought me from poetry to aerial dance to drawing through my 40 years.

My work has brought me from Poetry Ireland to the Gate Theatre to Pilates to working with Mari Kennedy and The Celtic Wheel.
