I have been an aerial practitioner since graduating from Zippo’s Circus in 1994. Here she is seen performing above diners at a fancy club, quite a few years ago!

In the summer of 2025, I realised that I had been teaching my regular mixed aerial classes – trapeze, rope, silks (fabric), hoop, hammock – for 25 years at the Whitstable Sports Centre. What a number! And it also felt like that was a good time to stop.

So while I continue to teach my Aerial Yoga classes in Faversham, I wanted to take time to step back, pass the baton to those with more energy and accept that it’s best to stop when you’re still enjoying something.

So now, I’ll keep clambering, keep dangling, and spend a bit more time writing.

I’ll see you all soon.
