At HIX Pilates & Wellness, we are dedicated to teaching authentic Pilates in its fullest.
Here, you’ll experience Pilates as a complete, intelligent system designed to strengthen, align, and restore the body, not just a workout, but a method that creates lasting change.

About Natalie
Founder • Teacher • Pilates Movement Specialist
​​
​
At the heart of HIX Pilates & Wellness is Natalie - I am an experienced, highly trained Pilates teacher dedicated to helping every client move with strength, confidence, and clarity. With over 16 years of Pilates teaching experience and more than 20+ years immersed in movement and wellness, I bring a rare depth of knowledge to every session.
​
A Bespoke, Expert Approach to Pilates
​
I believe that every BODY is unique - with its own strengths, challenges, history, and untapped potential. My teaching begins with truly understanding you:
your posture, your habits, your goals, and the way your body responds to movement.
Each session is thoughtfully tailored to support what you need most, whether your focus is:
-
injury recovery
-
improving mobility
-
building strength and stability
-
managing a condition
-
refining athletic performance
-
or simply learning how to move better
This is Pilates that meets you where you are and guides you forward with clarity and purpose.
​
Grounded in Science. Rooted in Classical Methodology.
​​
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Sport & Exercise Science and a PGCE in Education, allowing me to unite scientific understanding with skilful, compassionate teaching.
My teaching integrates both Classical and Contemporary Pilates, using the full system as Joseph Pilates intended:
-
Reformer
-
Cadillac / Tower
-
Wunda Chair
-
Arm Chair
-
Barrels
-
Mat & small apparatus
This comprehensive approach ensures a balanced, intelligent practice that develops the whole body, not just isolated muscles or short-term strength.
​
Experience Across All Levels
​
Having taught clients across the UK and the Netherlands, I have worked with:
-
complete beginners
-
postnatal clients
-
individuals navigating injury or chronic conditions
-
active adults wanting longevity and resilience
-
professional athletes refining technique or recovering from load
-
people seeking mindful, personalised movement outside fast-paced group classes
Every client receives the same level of care, precision, and thoughtful progression.
​
What Sets Natalie Apart
​
My teaching is shaped by three core values:
control, precision, and alignment, but it’s also infused with warmth, encouragement, and genuine partnership.
My mission goes beyond teaching exercises.
I help clients:
-
improve movement patterns
-
build strength intelligently
-
increase flexibility safely
-
understand their bodies
-
move with more ease and confidence in daily life
Sessions are supportive, challenging in the right way, and deeply empowering.
Clients leave feeling not only stronger, but more connected to themselves.

Whatever your starting point, I am committed to helping you reach your fullest potential through the transformative power of Pilates. My goal is simple: to help you move well, feel well, and live well - with a body that supports you in everything you do.
