The Cove Story

The Cove Story

As you stroll down Fore Street in heart of Looe, you may spot Cove Mind & Body – a cosy and welcoming Pilates studio. Come inside and you might find me with a small group of people stretching or strengthening on our mats. Pilates is the shining star at Cove.

But on another day, you might find us laughing together over a hot drink, relaxing in a sound bath, or engrossed in our sketchbooks learning new techniques. Born from a vision of an approachable Pilates studio with a home-from-home feel, Cove Mind & Body is a place to come as you are.

At its core, Cove is about living wholeheartedly through being kind to yourself, your health, and the planet. In 2019, I was diagnosed with a chronic health condition. My personal experimentation with managing the condition both pre- and post- diagnosis attested to the magic of slow living for better health. Putting time into myself allowed me to show up better in my personal and professional life.

“By slowing down and intentionally placing your true values at the heart of your lifestyle, a slow living mindset encourages you to live in self-awareness and make conscious, purposeful decisions for the benefit of your well-being and that of the planet.” – Slow Living LDN

Five years later, I welcome you to Cove Mind & Body to share my passion for Pilates and the elixir of connection, movement, rest, play, and nature that help me to feel my best.

I welcome all abilities to my Pilates classes. I particularly enjoy introducing beginners and supporting people with injuries or health conditions. I first trained as a Pilates instructor to improve the rehabilitation outcomes for my clients in my previous role as a soft tissue therapist. My 8-years there taught me to adapt movement and create effective variations for a broad spectrum of bodies and health concerns. My professional yet intuitive approach combined with small class sizes cultivates a friendly and safe environment for exercise. I aim for you to leave feeling content and 5 inches taller!

So Cove Mind & Body IS a Pilates studio, but more than that. It’s a place to connect, create, discover, and recharge. A place to come and get just what you need.
