Our founder’s story

A purpose deeper than fitness.

A personal journey. A place to belong.

At just 22, our founder Faith survived a major cardiac event that reshaped her relationship with health, movement and life. During rehabilitation, she discovered Pilates — a practice that supported her physical recovery and her mental and emotional wellbeing.

That experience sparked a wish to create something different: a space where movement is about genuine wellbeing, joy and connection, free from pressure to look a certain way or keep up with social media ideals.

A lifelong athlete and certified Pilates instructor, Faith brings her personal experience, professional knowledge and passion for health into her teaching. Alongside her husband, whose sporting background and behind-the-scenes support help keep the studio running, she has built Heart & Harmony around love, purpose and community.

The meaning behind our name

A little heart. A little harmony.

Heart

The care you can’t always see. Heart represents our internal health and the importance of looking after the one body we have.

Harmony

Movement that feels balanced, uplifting and enjoyable. It can be calm, low-impact and nourishing, with room for challenge — without feeling punishing or intimidating.

Our approach

Move, connect and feel at home.

Our Reformer and Mat Pilates teaching is rooted in the classical principles of Joseph Pilates, with elements of Barre, yoga, mindfulness and strength training woven into our approach.

From first-time beginners to experienced movers, there’s space to explore at your own pace. For more individual guidance, we offer 1:1 and 2:1 Private Pilates.

And life at the studio goes beyond class. Monthly community events bring movement, food and conversation together, while celebrations like wellness-inspired birthday parties make room for a little cake, too.

What matters most is how you feel here. Whatever your age, background or ability, we want you to feel welcomed and supported, with space to ask questions and be yourself.

Our hope for you

A body to care for.
A self to celebrate.

When you leave Heart & Harmony, we hope you see your body and mind in a new light — as something to care for, cherish and celebrate.

Giving back

Heart beyond the studio.

Faith’s experience continues to shape her work beyond teaching, through charity work, sharing her story and raising awareness of heart health.

Sharing a patient’s voice

Part of a moment that made history.

Faith was the main patient speaker at the event marking this historic gift to the British Heart Foundation, sharing her own story and what its work means to people living with heart conditions. She is proud to have been part of such an important moment.

In April 2026, Civil Society reported that the Garfield Weston Foundation had donated £6 million to BHF — its largest single gift from a charitable trust or major donor. The gift supports research into heart repair and regeneration through the Centre of Research Excellence in Advanced Cardiac Therapies (REACT).

A cause close to our heart

Help more hearts keep beating.

Without the work of the British Heart Foundation, Faith believes she wouldn’t be here today — and Heart & Harmony wouldn’t exist. Supporting their work is deeply personal.

The BHF funds research into heart and circulatory diseases. If you’re able to give, you can help that work continue.
