About me

Hey, I’m Ellie, a qualified Pilates Instructor and Stretch Therapist based in London. I created Move Well With Ell out of my passion for helping people improve their physical and mental health. Move Well is a fusion of everything I love: Pilates, stretching, mindfulness and everything in between.

Growing up I loved any and all movement, I’ve danced for as long as I can remember and competed in Gymnastics throughout my childhood. I graduated with a First in BA(Hons) Dance in 2021 and always knew that I would pursue movement as a career.

After a back injury in 2019, I discovered Pilates and worked 1:1 with an instructor to help with my rehab. I strongly believe that without Pilates I wouldn’t have healed as well as I did. I qualified to teach Pilates in 2021 and loved it even more after learning of the origins and how Joseph Pilates approached movement. I’ve been teaching 1:1 and group classes for 3 years now in London, including Mat, Reformer, Tower and Pre/Postnatal.

Alongside teaching Pilates, I still felt I wanted to keep learning about the body and the mechanics of movement. I applied and trained to become a Stretch Therapist which was a new concept to me at the time. I learned so much more about mobility and flexibility training, as well as how to help people through recovery. With wellness being a huge part of so many people’s lives now, we have seen how rest and recovery can help us perform better. I found that Stretch Therapy really is a game changer, from reducing DOMS to seeing huge benefits in flexibility, the benefits are amazing to see. 

After starting my own business, I now mostly work local to South West London and surrounding areas. I’m really lucky to have found a client base that are just as passionate as I am about movement and wellness. If you want to train or recover with me, you can do so in a variety of ways:
