About Me

I'm Linda - founder of Refine & Restore Pilates. With over 25 years as a Chartered Physiotherapist and a Master’s in Sports & Exercise Medicine, I've dedicated my career to helping people move better, feel stronger and live with greater balance.

My professional journey has included 15 years working with Scotland's elite athletes — including being part of Team Scotland’s medical team at multiple Commonwealth Games and major championships.

Since qualifying as a Pilates instructor in 2013, teaching group Pilates has become one of the most enjoyable and rewarding parts of my career — combining my love of movement with the opportunity to help others build strength, awareness, and confidence. I’ve also had the privilege of teaching and mentoring other professionals as a presenter for the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI).

What does this mean for you? At Refine & Restore Pilates, you’ll benefit from evidence-based Pilates taught with precision and care. Whether you’re recovering from injury, refining your technique or simply wanting to move with greater confidence, my classes offer tailored guidance that combines clinical knowledge with an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere — helping you achieve lasting results that go beyond the mat.
