Chartered Physiotherapist
Clinical Pilates Teacher
Sports Massage Therapist
Julie graduated in Physiotherapy from Bournemouth University in 2010, and has since gained broad experience ranging from sports injury clinics in London, to surf retreats in Indonesia and ski resorts in Switzerland.
Julie strongly believes in a good work life balance, and that people should be able to enjoy what they love to do. This is reflected in her physiotherapy practice, where she is always keen to help people get back to their favourite sport, hobby or simply everyday life.
Julie first fell in love with Pilates when teaching surf focused Pilates sessions in the beautiful Indonesian island of Lombok. She then completed her APPI training in Pilates Matwork, as well as her therapeutic Yoga course. She loves utilising her Pilates and Yoga skills to aid the recovery of her clients and to help them achieve their goals.
Julie has also completed a mindful-based stress reduction diploma and uses some of these techniques to encourage her clients to be more mindful in everyday life. She has noticed a big impact on this regarding peoples decreased stress levels and pain. As well as this, she has also completed an acupuncture course and enjoys using this in conjunction with other treatment modalities.
Growing up Julie was a keen competitive swimmer and stilll trains today, with her local swimming club, and occasionally competes. She also loves to keep fit with her own personal practice of Pilates and Yoga as well as running across the Sussex countryside, or along Brighton beach.
She looks forward to meeting you soon!

“I feel a lot fitter and more flexible than I did in January when I started at Sussex Pilates. Julie’s attentive and competent instruction has been much appreciated and her coaching approach is excellent. I have very much enjoyed the class and wish Julie all the best in her winter job.”
“I have started to feel the benefits of Pilates straight away. I have very much enjoyed my sessions with Julie - first with my 1:1, then in a group class - she is very helpful, professional, friendly and calm, always ready to help when you can’t quite ‘get’ an exercise.”
“Thank you Julie for being such a great coach and for having the patience and skill to put up with all my annoying quirks because of my hypermobility, especially making all the little adjustments required for my condition (I don’t know how you keep a straight face sometimes!). Above all, THANK YOU for getting me to stick with it on the shoulder exercises and succeeding where the NHS physios sadly failed - you have no idea what a luxury it is for one to be able to wash one’s own back again! I wish you all the very best in your Winter job and sincerely hope that we will see you again next year.”
“Just to say thank you to Julie for taking care of us all during the past few months. It is obvious that you are very knowledgable in your field and always there to correct someone if they are not doing it quite right.
You made the classes very enjoyable. Good luck in your winter career & maybe see you again next summer.”
“Julie has been a real breath of fresh air in the time she has been taking our class. Her whole persona is calm and focused on getting us doing things correctly. I think we will miss her but mustn’t take any praise away from Claire she is brill too. The whole team are so friendly and welcoming including Pippa the pup!”
“Julie is an excellent coach. Though based in a class, you feel as though you are being given individual attention and genuine care that you are able to do the exercises to your own ability.
A caring and very capable tutor.
Thank you!”
“Julie’s classes have been great, she has a great eye for spotting these necessary tweaks in posture that help get the most from the exercises. Many thanks.”
