Claire is a straight-talking and inspiring Scotswoman with an inclusive yet exacting and rigorous approach. She has an absolute passion for all things Pilates, but her manner is enabling and supportive, and she maintains a sense of humor and humility throughout all her client interactions.

Claire is the living embodiment of 'you are the architect of your own happiness.' After discovering Pilates in 1998 as a young dance student when it resolved her debilitating knee injury, she has been evangelical about the benefits ever since. Teaching since 2002, Claire has a wealth of qualifications and never stops learning—training and certifying with Pilates Institute, Fit To Deliver, APPI, STOTT, Natural Bodies, and of course, Polestar. Most recently, she became a Second Generation Teacher, graduating from the Lolita San Miguel Master Mentorship Program in 2019.

Mum of three, Claire has been a studio owner since 2005. She is a Polestar Pilates Educator and host for Polestar in the North of England and runs an apprenticeship program bridging the gap between training and teaching. In 2018, Claire expanded on an existing venture and founded Hosted By Movement Education as part of her mission to build awareness and participation locally and globally.
