My name is Kat. I am a movement therapist and medical herbalist. I support people in maintaining and regaining their health, wellbeing and fitness.  

In addition to general health and fitness classes, I offer coaching programmes for  women's intimate, pelvic health and for chronic conditions, especially digestive health and stress-related issues, such as jaw tension and sleep.

The human body, in many cases, has the innate ability to heal itself. The foundations of health lie in a healthy lifestyle, exercise, good food, quality sleep, stress management and emotional wellbeing.

I can support your innate ability to heal with exercise, mindful movement, relaxation techniques, herbal medicine, lifestyle and healthy eating advice.

My name is Kat Hesse. I have been teaching movement for health and wellbeing for nearly two decades. I love and teach body-mind methods of movement - Pilates, Yoga, Chi Gong, Feldenkrais, somatics, mindful methods of movement that support the mind and body. Saying that, I love all exercise and am also a trained gym instructor.

I started teaching mainly people with health problems. Over the years many of my students regained their health and fitness so nowadays I teach both general fitness as well as rehabilitation classes. It's wonderful to see the benefit of exercise.

Results can be striking: Increased strength and mobility, balance, coordination and endurance and a greater sense of ease and wellbeing.  My students tell me how classes improve their physical and emotional health. Their response keeps me inspired.

I have used exercise to support my own health too, recovering from cancer, restoring my digestive health and restoring my intimate health from severe atrophy following cancer treatment.
