I have been seeing Mariann for the last seven years and she has helped me with the recovery from two serious spinal injuries. When I first started rehabilitation classes with Mariann I was still struggling to do basic things like walk properly for long distances, sit down for a sustained period and bend over comfortably to pick things up from the floor and was just generally limited with the movement in my core. After doing Pilates with Mariann for all these years I now have a much stronger and flexible body and am now able to do things like I used to do before the operations. Mariann is an awesome and lovely person who is very easy to get on with. She is very kind and patient, which has been important for me as I have had tough emotional moments on the road to recovery. I have really benefited from using the machine equipment at Mariann’s home studio. The classes are specifically pinpointed to what is needed at any particular time, so there is a flexible and bespoke approach to the individuals needs. If anyone has had any issues with an injury or surgery or even if they would just like to improve their strength / posture in general I would highly recommend one on one classes with Mariann as part of a holistic approach to rehabilitate the body!

I have been seeing Mariann weekly for 121 Pilates for over a year. With no prior experience in Pilates, or anything similar, it was always going to be a steep learning curve but I couldn't imagine a better teacher than Mariann! She is incredibly patient, precise in her feedback and knows exactly how to modify exercises to suit my individual needs. I'm delighted with the progress I have made and wouldn't hesitate recommending Mariann to anyone seeking instruction, regardless of ability level. Thank you Mariann!

I have had many different Pilates teachers over the years, but Mariann is by far the best teacher ever. Her ability to fine tune her workouts to repair and strengthen my posture and body has been life-changing for me. I no longer have back or shoulder pain and am much fitter and stronger. I am now going twice per week and loving how it makes me feel. She is a delightful woman and I can not recommend her highly enough.
