Hi I’m Rosie

I am a UK-trained Physiotherapist and a Reformer Pilates Instructor, and the person behind Swift Align. After a successful career in the NHS, I had the privilege of combining work with my love of travel and have lived in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Turkey and Nigeria over the past 10 years. In these settings, my client base has included the diplomatic and international communities. I also had the privilege of working directly with local communities .

I first incorporated my love of Pilates with physiotherapy 10 years ago when I started my Matwork Instructor training journey. My love for Pilates evolved after my second pregnancy, when my twin boys came along. Caring for 3 kids under 3 left little time for myself, but whenever possible I made time for Pilates. These moments to exercise my body and focus my mind were precious: I was stronger, more centred, and more present with my kids.

 

My knowledge of physiotherapy combined with my Pilates training and teaching skills mean I can support rehabilitation from the initial onset, through to recovery and maintenance. Whether you are looking for physiotherapy input or are keen to get on the mat or the reformer, I hope to meet you soon.

Professional Development

Rosie is registered with the UK Health & Care Professions Council and is a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (UK). Rosie regularly engages in professional development activities, in order to develop both as a Physiotherapist and a Pilates instructor.

“Rosie has been giving me 1:1 online Pilates sessions for the last 8 months following an operation I had for nerve decompression. Rosie has tailored the exercises to help my rehabilitation… I find her teaching style really helpful with regular reminders - breathing, position, core - throughout the session. She demonstrates and explains the exercises well, is watchful and quick to explain/correct where needed.”
