Cathryn Jaffray
Cathryn found Pilates whilst training at dance college. On leaving college She then went on to become a dance and fitness teacher where Matwork Pilates was another string to her bow, over the years her love and passion for Pilates grew as she saw more and more clients being helped by the method whether it was freeing people from pain, improving their performance in their chosen sport or just a fun way to move and feel good. In the end this became the main focus and she now only teaches Pilates.
Ultimately Cathryn is a people person and loves making every single client that crosses the threshold feel comfortable and special. Many clients are still with her from when she set up business over twenty years ago and most new clients come to her through word of mouth and recommendations.
Cathryn has trained extensively since 2004 in both contemporary and classical Pilates with body control Pilates, Julie driver Pilates, blossom Leilani Crawford and has recently completed her classical fully comprehensive training with Third generation teacher Michelle Davison at the wellbeing pod in Hitchin. A huge undertaking of more then 600 hours on all the Pilates equipment, the mat, reformer, Cadillac, chairs barrels and small equipment making her one of a small number of teachers classed as fully comprehensive in the Pilates method, this is one of the highest levels of expertise and most sort after qualifications you can gain in the Pilates world meaning Cathryn can directly link her training back to Joseph Pilates. She is qualified to teach all medical conditions and special populations of including lower back pain, pregnancy, post natal, children, older adults and people with osteoporosis.

She has specialist qualifications in lower back pain, pre and post-natal and osteoporosis.
Outside of Pilates she is a wife and mother of two children, she loves dancing, trips to the theatre and her slightly geeky special interest is medieval history. In her downtime you will find her walking the dog listening to a podcast.
