Hi, I'm Emma — EQF Level 4 qualified Mat Pilates instructor and founder of Empulse Pilates.

Pilates found me through a back injury during my student nursing days. One class was all it took — I immediately fell in love. For someone who was never sporty, finding something I genuinely loved and excelled at was a revelation. I signed up to teacher training in January 2024, leaving nursing behind, and I haven't looked back since.

My Teaching Style

My classes are energetic, encouraging — sometimes a little bit chaotic, but in the giggliest way, and they are always tailored to meet you where you are. Behind the fun, there are always two sides to my teaching brain: one that's hawk-eyed on your form, ability and control, and one that just wants you to genuinely enjoy being there.

I know that everyone sitting in front of me is there for a different reason. Some of you want to push hard and challenge yourselves as much as you can. Others want to walk into the studio and leave a stressful day behind, moving in a way that feels energising. All of you seem to love to giggle and sing your way through the pulses. Wherever you are, I'll meet you there. I'll push when you need it, encourage you always, and make sure safety and correct form are never compromised. I take a lot of pride in NOT being the instructor that will force you to push as hard as you physically can.

Because at Empulse, the goal is simple: leave every class feeling better than when you walked in.
