I’m Kate, a Level 3 Pilates Instructor, Level 3 Sports Massage Therapist and Registered Mental Health Nurse with over 14 years experience working in the NHS

My interest in Pilates and Massage began when I was having difficulties with my horse riding, struggling to canter my horse on one rein. Convinced there would be something wrong with HIM, I booked an appointment with his Vetinary Physiotherapist who gave him a clean bill of health and instead suggested it was most likely ME and my posture that was the problem – it turns out she was absolutely right! I began taking better care of my own body through Pilates and Massage and never looked back!

I became passionate about helping other riders, particularly leisure riders/low level competitors, take better care of their own bodies and mental wellbeing for the benefit of themselves, their horses and their riding.

Fast forward a few years and after a difficult pregnancy and recovery from birth with significant pelvic girdle pain, following input from a specialist women’s health physio, Pilates and Massage once again saved me!

I’ve since become passionate about supporting women throughout all stages of their lives, combining my experiences in mental health, Pilates and Massage to provide a safe space for women to nurture their bodies and their minds and to reconnect with themselves.

I offer small group mat Pilates classes for women at Alderwasley Village Hall on a Monday evening 6.30pm-7.30pm and at the Coach House Studios in Wirksworth on a Tuesday evening 6.30pm-7.30pm. Massage appointments are held at Coach House Studios in Wirksworth.

At Truly Aligned Pilates & Massage, my focus is simple: to help you feel stronger, more supported and more in tune with your body.

I work with women through all stages of life, from early post-natal recovery to peri-menopause, through menopause and beyond. I also work with horse riders who want to improve alignment, balance and comfort both in and out of the saddle.

My approach is grounded, professional and attentive. You’ll feel in safe hands from the moment you walk in.

How I Work

I teach mat Pilates on my feet in small groups, not from my mat so I can continually observe, correct and support every client. This means:

Real-time correction

So you’re never left wondering if you’re doing something right, I adjust technique as you move, helping you build safer, stronger habits from the very first class

Focus on improvement

My approach is direct and practical. I’m here to help you understand how your body works, move well with clarity and gradually feel stronger, more aligned and more in control

No getting lost in a big class

With small groups, you receive the attention you deserve. You won’t be overlooked or left behind. Each class feels focused, calm and genuinely supportive

Whether you are rebuilding strength after having a baby, navigating changes brought on my menopause, or dealing with muscular imbalance from riding, you’ll receive thoughtful, intelligent support that respects both your physical and emotional wellbeing.

Nichola Pearl

I have been joining Kate’s amazing Pilates classes for just over a month now and my lower back aches have reduced dramatically. Kate is very skillful and caters to each individual needs and she helps all class members to gain flexibility, good posture, and core strength. Kate and the lovely group of students are very welcoming and provide an accepting safe space. Classes are given in the beautiful Withworth in a lovely relaxed setting. I highly recommend Kate’s Pilates classes!

I went to my first pilates class with Kate on Wednesday and wow! This girl really knows her stuff. I’m a pilates novice but Kate made me feel completely at ease and there was always the sense of being guided through the moves thoroughly and safely – the small class size means that she’s checking and correcting everyone’s form throughout (no cheating!) A really nice vibe in the room, chilled and friendly and all abilities. The time flew by and I experienced a sense of connection to my body which I’m not usually able to achieve, it’s brilliant for mind and body! Kate challenges you to really work the body but instinctively knows not to push too hard so it’s enjoyable. I came out of the class feeling strong and energised – and excited for the next one! If you’re thinking about trying Kates class, go for it! I absolutely loved it and that’s my Wednesday nights sorted for the foreseeable!

Had my first massage with Kate and I am already feeling much better. Kate really put me at ease and made me feel really welcome. She used a firm approach but kept checking how I was doing throughout. Thanks Kate I will be back!

Rach LouiseCompany Name

Had my first massage with Kate after experiencing another bout in neck problems causing head pain. It’s a massive advantage that Kate could come to my own home as I struggle to drive when I can’t turn my head and the neck and head problems causes me to feel dizzy and sometimes disorientated. Kate was great in assessing my posture before my treatment and knowledgable in explaining my targeted treatment plan. I will definitely need more sessions but I can say after one session the head pain is gone!! Thank you Kate!!
