My name is Charlotte Witheford. I am a foodie and strongly believe life is not worth living without good food! I also LOVE Pilates because it is a delicious form of movement which is accessible and complementary to absolutely everyone. Much like the ultimate condiment!

​

My first taste of Pilates was thanks to my mother who was a Physio. But it wasn't until my late 20’s when my body started to crave something to counteract neck and shoulder niggles as a result of my desk job as a Landscape Architect. On the back of some advice from a physio I sought out a local Pilates class in Cambridge in the UK and became addicted! After experiencing the functional benefits of Pilates for many years, including through both of my pregnancies, I pursued a career change to share the benefits of Pilates with others.

My professional Pilates journey began with Polestar in London where I embarked on my Mat training. This left me hungry for more, so I completed the Polestar Studio Equipment course, as well as specialist pre and postnatal training. ​

I opened the Pilates Recipe Studio in 2017. The Studio is a beautiful and well equipped space with a Reformer, Trapeze table, Pilates Chair, Spine corrector and a vast variety of small props to challenge and facilitate movement. Within this space I work with people of all ages and abilities privately, and in very small groups, to ensure you get the most out of your Pilates session.

We are all different and come with our own ingredients in the form of knowledge, experience, anatomical beauty, injuries and ambition. The Pilates Recipe seeks to complement your ingredients to create positive, delicious and intelligent movement patterns for you. I’d love to help you discover efficiency of movement to support your own physical activities and ultimately improve your experience of life. I work with a range of health professionals to ensure a collaborative approach to your health and well being, so please don’t hesitate to contact me for more information on getting started.
