Vanessa started dancing at four in a small town in Northern Italy, then spent years training, performing and researching across Europe. She lists an MA in Dance Performance from Trinity Laban and a PhD in cultural heritage. In London she built the Transformative Movement Method, which mixes Pilates, yoga, barre and dance with polyvagal- and trauma-informed nervous-system work.

Approach

Private sessions shaped around whatever you walk in with: a tight lower back, a pregnancy or new baby, a mind that won’t switch off. Slow, sensation-led Pilates, yoga and barre, plus breathwork and somatic floorwork. You still build real strength, just not through punishing workouts. Live Zoom classes and London workshops too.

Who They're Great For

The girl who’s always “fine” at work while her shoulders live up by her ears. Maybe she’s tried yoga and still can’t switch off, wants to get properly strong without workouts that punish her, or is pregnant or postpartum and wants someone careful to move with.
