Welcome to my website.
I have 17 years International experience teaching Pilates. I am also a Delos Certified Expert. Delos is a revolutionary postural proprioceptive system which prevents risk of fall in the elderly and improves athletes’ performance. In 2019 I became Total Barre Certified and Garuda Matwork Certified Instructor.
In 2004 I became interested in Pilates whilst working alongside American Pilates Instructors in a famous health and fitness centre (Then called “Spa Deus “ owned by Christina Newburg) in Chianciano Terme, Tuscany , I decided to study with a professional internationally recognized Pilates School. I obtained the Stott Pilates certification in 2007. I since attended specialist courses including Injuries and Special populations and numerous update workshops and continue to do so also with other institutes.
I have taught to and collaborated with rehabilitation specialists, osteopaths and chiropractors and also in Luxury 5 Star Hotels in Italy and in Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat in the South of France. I have also been Personal coach to Letizia Moratti (ex-mayor of Milan) and to a well known family in the Middle East.
My clients are of all ages and include rehabilitation clients, dancers, pre and post natal, C.E.O’s and athletes. Every lesson is personalised and planned according to my clients posture, capabilities and requirements.
“Pilates is a journey to well being body and mind , I thank all my clients for enjoying the journey with me”. ~ KathyBenefits
Meditation decreases mental chatter, making us aware of inner peace, love and stillness. It also strengthens our immune system.
Pilates improves posture, inner core strength and stability, increases flexibility, reduces stress, and increases body & mind awareness.
Mindfulness makes us become actively aware of what we are doing in the present moment using our five senses.

I have numerous issues with my joints including back, neck and shoulder pain after an accident I had a few years ago. I have recently started having Pilates lessons in the UK to rehabilitate and was thrilled to find out Kathy was holding private lessons at my hotel whilst on holiday.
Kathy’s lessons were so much better than my previous sessions, with her care and attention providing a personalised session. She was so helpful in giving me several exercises to support and strengthen my body in order to reduce pain and most importantly, how to practise these at home safely.
Kathy’s passion for Pilates was evident and as a result she gave me the most valuable lessons I have had!
Thank you Kathy!

After regular Pilates lessons with Kathy, I have noticed significant improvements with my back particularly pertaining to my scoliosis. I have suffered with severe back pain and bad posture for most of my life. However, since I’ve begun training with Kathy my posture has improved greatly as well as the curvature in my back. I didn’t realise that Pilates with the right instructor could provide such visible and tangible results. Kathy is not only an excellent coach but she’s kind, patient, and warm. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to make gentle but profound changes and improvements with their musculoskeletal health and fitness levels. Her expertise, experience and professionalism is evident. You won’t be disappointed!

I was born with a scoliosis and leg length discrepancy. I tried many different kinds of specialist treatments over 10 years to try and resolve my postural problems, but I still had no profound results... My neck and back pain returned and continued.
I had given up doing sport for over 10 years and couldn’t study well with the pain. Then Dr. Cetani a Physiatrist from Turin, Italy advised me to do Pilates with Kathy Way. After the first Pilates lesson with Kathy I understood I was finally on the right track to healing my spine.
After 4 months I had no more pain, I regained a natural (physiological) lordosis, and was able to move all of my body in all planes of motion. Kathy made me love Pilates!

I had stopped sport for several months and added a few pounds... I contacted Kathy to lose those pounds. I met someone who was very professional and took my request very seriously.
Thanks to her Pilate techniques, Kathy always correct my posture during the exercises. She helped me to progress at cardio level and to lose my extra pounds thanks to nutritional advice. Kathy offers a high quality coaching. I highly recommend Kathy if you wish to get your body back in to shape and get fit. A good point for her good humour too!

Pilates with Kathy has been a bit of a revelation for me. In the past I’ve have tried lots of different exercise classes, alongside running and swimming. Now, having done pilates for over two years, I can say I’ve found it the most beneficial exercise I’ve ever done. Re-connecting with my body! Working muscles I didn’t know existed, but also getting control and balance.
In the first 6 months I saw huge changes in the way I was moving and when I was pregnant I saw a whole new side to the discipline. It’s amazing how Kathy was able to adjust all the exercises to keep me strong and working!
Its improved my strength, flexibility, balance and physical awareness – aside from benefits to my body shape. I really enjoy my classes and Kathy takes the time to personalise and vary the classes, keeping it interesting and helping you to see your progress. I can’t recommend enough!
