Kate fell in love with circus over a decade ago and now specialises in aerial arts including silks, hoop and trapeze. Passionate about safe, sustainable movement, she supports students to build strength and mobility in ways that last. Kate creates a welcoming space where everyone can explore their limits while caring for their body, encouraging progress that feels empowering rather than pressured. Whether working with beginners or experienced movers, she shares her deep respect for the body and her belief that aerial arts can be both transformative and joyful.
