As a menopausal woman, Dinah understands how vital movement is for health and wellbeing during the stages of Menopause. Her personal experience of losing strength, confidence, and the ease of movement in her body combined with supporting thousands of women in this stage of life over the last 25 years led her to creating a unique Menopause Pilates framework.

Most recently, 2021 saw her launch an accredited CPD Menopause Awareness course for Pilates Teachers and her book ‘Pilates Based Movement for Menopause. A Guide for Teachers and Practitioners’ will be published by Handspring Publishing August 2024.

Her Pilates credentials include an Original Apprenticeship Pilates in conjunction with Alan Herdman in 1998, Polestar Pilates UK with Serafino Ambrosio in 2003 and Pilates Passing the Torch University of Balanced Body diploma with Master teacher Elizabeth Larkam. Dinah also possesses a broad spectrum of additional movement qualifications in Gyrotonic®, Yoga, Meditation, Fascial Fitness, and The Franklin Method.

She is proud to be an educator and a recognised voice within the Menopause conversation and be an active contributor which involves continuous collaboration with fellow Menopause experts. Dinah is an Affiliate member of the British Menopause Society, an Associate member of The Newson Health Menopause Association and a Balance+ App Guru which is the world’s first medically approved health and wellbeing companion, tailored to the needs of perimenopausal and menopausal women.

Dinah and her partner have 5 children between them and live in the Cotswolds where she also runs her Pilates Studio practice in person and her online studio, Menopause Pilates.
