Emily enjoys helping individuals to find themselves by falling in love with movement. Emily believes that exercise should train our bodies for longevity and strength and our minds for peace and resilience.

In recent years Emily has competed in HYROX competitions but the intense training schedule led to exhaustion and so she sought a way of training that complimented - helped with strength & mobility and didn't lead to burnout. Enter Reformer Pilates. This led to her wanting to opening a Reformer and Weights Studio in Thame and as soon as she visited Lopemede she knew it was the perfect location.
