I see you...
👍You're already doing the work....
🤔 You lift weights three times a week. You do your 10,000 steps. You eat your protein. You've ticked every box you've been told will protect you from midlife decline.
😥 And yet your hips are tight. Your lower back flares up. You wake up most mornings with that low-level stiffness you've learned to manage instead of fix.
You've tried physio. You've done the exercises. You've stretched. You've foam rolled. You've searched YouTube for hip opening tutorials at 11pm because you're determined to figure this out. 😓
And nothing has stuck. Nothing has actually fixed the problem. 😮💨
You've out grown the "The no pain, no gain mindset"
Here's why
You're treating the symptom. Your body needs you to fix the cause.
❌ Your hips are tight because your hip muscles are under worked. Your lower back hurts because your pelvis isn't stable. Your shoulders are overworking because your upper back isn't moving the way it should.
Standard Pilates isolates the problem. Tight hips? Stretch your hips. Sore back? Strengthen your core.
But your body doesn't work in isolation.If your pelvis is stuck, your lower back compensates. If your upper back is stiff, your neck and shoulders overwork. Weak hips don't just hurt your hips. They overload your knees, your lower back, your mid-back, your neck, your shoulders. Everything downstream pays the price.
You've been chasing the symptom. Stretching the tight bit. Rolling out the sore bit. Strengthening the weak bit. And the problem keeps coming back because you're not addressing why it's tight, sore, or weak in the first place.
That's what The Whole Body Approach does differently.👇
Fix the root cause, and everything downstream changes.
When you come to me with lower back pain, I'm not just going to strengthen your core and call it done.
✨ I'm going to look at why your back is overloading in the first place. What's not moving. Where's the strength connection between your brain and your muscles. What's compensating.
✨ Because a 5% shift in how your body moves, how your muscles and brain connect, how aware you are, and you feel 95% better.
✨ Fix the hips, and suddenly your knees feel better. Your back settles. Your shoulders stop overworking.
You've been told you need a complete overhaul. That everything's broken and you have to start from scratch.
You don't.
You need one strategic fix that changes everything downstream.
And finding that fix takes less work than chasing every symptom that shows up.
This is Pilates that protects everything else you actually want to do.
✅ You don't want to do less. You don't want to back off from hiking, running, tennis, the gym.
✅ You want exercises that lets you keep doing all of it without your body breaking down.
Standard Pilates teaching is about progression within Pilates. Getting better at Pilates. More advanced exercises. Harder variations.
✅ What I'm doing is using Pilates as the foundatation that protects everything else you already do.
The secret?
Just 3 short Pilates Sessions a week.
Pilates isn't the goal. It's the thing that makes hiking up mountains, playing tennis at the weekend, getting up off the floor without hesitation, keeping up with grandkids when they arrive, all of that possible.
Three times a week. Under 30 minutes. At home.
So you still have time for the gym, running, hiking, tennis. The things you actually love.
That's why I've created

Hi, I'm Dorte 👋
I'm a Pilates teacher with more than 16 years of experience working with active women.
I've been where you are. Doing loads of cardio. Doing the odd random workout. Stretching when I remembered. And constantly dealing with niggles, tight hips, and a lower back I could never fully get on top of.
I fell in love with Pilates because it completely changed what my body was capable of.
I went from trips to the physio in my 30s to running my 6th half marathon at 51. At an age where so many women struggle with aches, pains, and feeling like the tin man first thing in the morning, I feel like I'm only just getting started.
For years, I taught Pilates the standard way. Progress clients to harder exercises. Make them stronger. Keep moving forward.
And it worked, until it didn't.
I started noticing a pattern. Some clients got better. Others stayed stuck with tight hips and recurring back pain, no matter how advanced their practice became.
Then I felt it in my own body. I was running, doing Pilates, making all the right shapes, and my hips were still stiff. My lower back still wasn't right.
That's when I could see it everywhere. Women grinding through advanced Pilates and high-intensity training while the wrong muscles fired, while their hips stayed locked and their backs compensated, training the bad patterns deeper at a higher level.
The standard approach worked as long as the goal was progression. But it missed something fundamental.
What people needed wasn't harder exercises. They needed to slow down to the intensity where their body had space to learn the right patterns. To focus on the details. Is the right muscle connecting? Can the hip move three-dimensionally? Is the back stealing movement?
They needed to feel what was actually working, because grinding through reps using the wrong muscles just perpetuates the compensation.
My method isn't about doing more advanced work. It's about building foundational patterns that let active women keep doing everything they love without their body breaking down.
I've taken my 30 years of being fit and active and my 15 years of experience as a Pilates teacher and built a membership that helps you go from feeling stiff and achy to waking up strong, energised, and ready to move through your day like an athlete.
Whether that's crushing a workout, chasing your kids or grandkids, or finally booking that hiking trip.
I’m here to help you feel strong, move freely, and love the way your body works and feels every day at every age. Let’s do this together!
