Pilates

I had been doing studio Pilates for 2 years when I was lucky enough to attend a series of mat classes taught by Lorraine.  I had already seen amazing changes to my posture, and an end to the back and neck problems I faced.

I have really enjoyed being taught by Lorraine who combines humour, knowledge, positivity and a gentle touch of sadism. I’ve also learnt lots more about using and stretching my body, my abs especially have become much stronger, and I’ve seen my body elongate and tone. I’m now completely addicted to Pilates, I attend Lorraine’s classes twice a week, and I’d do more still if I had the time!

After attending a couple of classes on a drop in basis, I committed to a full pilates course with Lorraine especially because, even though it's a 'large group class', Lorraine has the capacity to make it feel tailor made for all the varied individuals who attend. And boy do you feel good afterwards!

I have been attending Pilates classes with Lorraine for some years now and have found many benefits arising from these sessions; greater flexibility, a stronger back and much better stomach muscles which obviously help the appearance and the back.
They are refreshing to attend and it is good to be able to work at
your own pace in a non competitive environment!

I greatly value Lorraine's teaching and the practise of Pilates. It is so good for me and so satisfying at the same time !

I have MS and Pilates has helped me a lot. Lorraine was great to have as a one to one teacher as well as in a class and when back in London I will most definitely be taking it up again.

I have a scoliosis which, although not severe, gave me regular back pain and made me look quite lop-sided.  I had thought that there was nothing much more I could do about it, but my 1-2-1 Pilates sessions with Lorraine completely changed everything.  It made such a difference to have sessions tailored to my particular needs, and in a matter of weeks I could see real changes.  It really helped to have the personal attention that a 1-2-1 session gives you, to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly and getting the most out of them.  The great improvements that I have made, together with Lorraine's really positive approach, have meant that I have also since felt much more positive about my back condition; although it will be something that I will always have, I am now in control of it rather than it being in control of me.  I would have a 1-2-1 session every day if I could!

I joined Lorraine's first Sunday Pilates class at the Hornsey Vale Community Centre (2002) very tentatively, being one of those people who never sets foot in a gym, but I've continued to attend ever since. Lorraine knows her stuff but delivers it in a completely non-threatening way. She's very goodat making you aware of what's going on and how it should feel (often along the lines of 'if this exercise is easy, you're probably doing it wrong').
She takes you through at a gentle pace that gives you time to feel the connections, encouraging everyone to work up to their own level. Her class is now a mixed bag of relatively experienced people and complete newcomers. One of the nice things is that it's quite possible to start in the middle of a course and if you want to have a single session as a taster, that's just fine.

Massage

Simon has been looking after my back for about 8 yrs now, after trying all different types of treatments and people he is the only one who keeps me upright!! The man should never be allowed to take a holiday.

Simon Heale has the rare ability to bring his deep knowledge of the human body with the strength and energy of a competitive and gifted runner to offer a unique massage, which reinvigorates, heals tired or aching muscles and leaves one feeling a new person.

I have been one of Simon's therapeutic massage clients for nearly a year and he excels at pinpointing and treating the areas that require attention. Being an arthritis sufferer following accidental injury he soothes the pain with his deep tissue massage so that the need for pain killers is eliminated. He's also a great listener and perks you up with positive encouragement. I highly recommend him and rely on his fortnightly maintenance treatment to minimize, otherwise very nasty symptoms.

'In the area of bodywork, Simon is absolutely outstanding. In addition, his background as an actor, and his work in the personal development and leadership fields combine to give him a highly distinctive set of skills and many areas of  contribution in relation to people's well-being.

Back care

I had back surgery 10 years ago (a mistake) and currently work long days in the City, frequently flying and rarely looking after myself properly. My back frequently flares up and I have seen 100s of physios, osteos, chiropractors, surgeons, etc. over the years to find a solution / help manage my back. Nobody from any of these disciplines matches Simon's extra sensory understanding of the back, body and mind. I would recommend him to anyone and frequently do to friends, colleagues and clients. I work in an incredibly demanding industry which makes me pretty fussy, for thers who also seek out extremely high quality service, I happily recommend Mr Simon Heale.
