“After 10 sessions my pain has reduced significantly, I danced with my daughter at week 5 and was amazed to enjoy dancing again, without pain. Now I don’t worry about experiencing pain, which is the real big life changer for me- My mentality around pain has changed, I don’t expect to feel it or be limited anymore. I feel free!I am so much stronger and am back in the garden, working on a big project, picking up heavy logs and thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you so much for helping me get to the impossible! I feel young again!”
“Charlette’s Movement Therapy has, without exaggeration, changed my life. My lower back, previously injured with a herniated disc, hurt with every step I took. Letty got me on the Reformer and gradually worked her magic, making me find and strengthen muscles I never knew I had until I achieved a new posture, so that my lower back no longer hurts. I honestly owe her my improved strength, mobility and lack of pain. It’s nothing short of a miracle at my age!”
“As is says on the tin - ’No More back Pain’. I cannot over express the joy of getting out of bed without pain in my lower back. I am also able to return to all the things I love - running / tennis / gardening without pain. I honestly think seeing Charlette has been miraculous for me - a real Eureka experience resulting in real change. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone in any kind of ongoing pain.”
“I have tried various back specialists over the last few years: osteopaths, chiropractor, physiotherapist,acupuncturist without much success. I do one session with you and my body has moved back into its correct position. I am stunned. ”
“Charlette is so in tune with the human body, it’s mind blowing. She is able to release mental and physical stress through her work and we have a great laugh along the way. She helped me throughout my pregnancy and ensured I was fully prepared for childbirth. She just has a way of teaching that I’ve never seen before. ”
“I am a boxer and put my body through a lot, injury is part of the sport. When I first injured my hip, I thought I would need surgery. Since working with Charlette, I realised that I do no need surgery, my hip pain has gone and I now do not worry about injuring myself. If I do, I can just come to Charlette to rehabilitate! It’s really helped to get my confidence back, I can go for it and not worry about injury.”
“My friend told me I am walking far better than anyone else she knows who has had knee replacement surgery and I replied ‘That’s because I have Charlette!’”
“Just fantastic!Charlette creates a wonderfully calm and therapeutic atmosphere. She thoughtfully plans her lessons, adjusting carefully for different abilities.I always feel better both physically and mentally afterwards. ”
“During the whole process Charlette was incredibly astute at reading both me, my body and its needs in a way that I have not experienced with other therapists. She was not just a teacher or coach but my guide and cheerleader, celebrating my wins and showing huge empathy and support when times were tough. Charlette deeply cares about her clients and is a wonderful person. Working with her has had a huge positive impact on my life and I recommend her very highly.”
“Letty’s classes are a safety net for body confidence. My body loves to move in this way, as much as it loves really good food! I always leave feeling taller, with a smile on my face and that I want to do it again!”
“Charlette (Letty) is such a wonderful ray of light and the passion she has is apparent. For years I’ve struggled to ‘let go’ and really focus on myself and with Letty’s help I’ve managed to do it. I love my classes with her and look forward to them on a weekly basis. Releasing all the negativity life throws at us on a daily basis, plus letting go of the baggage we’ve carried for years. Suffering from PTSD, this is like medication for my mind, body and soul and I wish I’d found it sooner. Letty is not only fantastic at what she does but her energy and compassion is so compelling and the positivity she gives to the class shines so bright. If you’re looking for a teacher and a spiritual guide, Letty is the one.”
““The word ‘Pioneer’ comes to mind. Teaching a different approach to exercise.””
“I started going to see Charlette (Letty) as I was feeling unstable on my feet and falling over at least once a week. Letty is an absolute diamond talking through every exercise so that you understand what your doing from the start of the exercise to the end. Her attitude is amazing and I always look forward to the next class. I now feel that I walk taller and my balance has improved no end. Thank you Letty.”
“I have been doing Pilates for twice a week at different venues since a nasty car accident in year 2008, and over that period have met a number of instructors. Of all the classes I enjoy your classes most of all, and find the exercises most helpful to maintain mobility, even if some are a little challenging!You maintain a good flowing pace throughout the class, introducing new exercises and variations of familiar exercises with what seems like an infinite portfolio. The explanations and dialogue are clear, concise and fluent, something not all instructors are able to achieve. You also have a very warm, friendly and personal approach, that makes the class a delight to experience for all ages and levels of ability.”
“I’m so happy to have discovered Charlette. Charlette never pushes me beyond what I feel I can achieve, but at each session I’ve surprised myself with how much more I’m capable of. I leave the session feeling relaxed and refreshed.”
“I came to Charlette with a pain in my shoulder and hopes to start working out regularly.Four months later I have been transformed… The pain has gone and I can’t miss a class with her, at the end of each session I feel so proud of myself. Charlette is a wonderful teacher, she brings out the best in you, she is cheerful, funny, and she motivates. She will always ensure that you correctly perform every exercise.”
“My sister referred me to Charlette because I was having problems with my left shoulder following a fall skiing. Letty’s approach is refreshing but thorough. She has an eagle eye for picking up problems, whether new or longstanding, and she quickly gave me exercises designed to improve not just the presenting problem in my shoulder, but other areas that needed attention. She is friendly and relaxed in her approach, always giving a good and thorough explanation of what is going on and why a particular exercise helps, but also very determined to see that you do the exercises correctly! You can’t fool Letty, even on a video link!I’ve made excellent progress despite my initial misgivings, (in view of my age and my experience of patients with shoulder problems). I would definitely recommend her, whether for working on problems, or just improving one’s overall strength and fitness.”
“Having suffered minor back problems for a number of years, I turned to Pilates on the recommendation of a friend. After a few classes with Charlette my back has caused me far less irritation, my posture has improved and most importantly: it feels healthier. Charlette has a great way with clients, her instructions help you focus your mind and control your body’s movements. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking to heal a bad back. ”
“I feel like I came to you with a lot of baggage because I have a few medical conditions. You make me feel safe in every class and make changes so that I can do all of the exercises with everyone else. You have time to answer all of my questions before and after class and you make me feel like I can do anything!””
