After graduating as a professional dancer from Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in 2021, Charlie established herself as both a freelance dance artist and personal trainer. During her degree, she started training in Reformer Pilates, laying the foundation for her integrated approach to movement and conditioning.
In 2024, Charlie spent six months performing with Jasmin Vardimon Company 2, where daily Mat Pilates training formed a core part of her professional practice. This experience further deepened her understanding of precision, control, and functional strength.
Her performance career spans television, film, theatre, music videos, and immersive productions. Alongside this, Charlie brings over ten years of teaching experience across piano and dance and has worked for SEND schools and universities. She is a Level 2 & 3 qualified Personal Trainer with additional certifications in nutrition and motivational coaching.
Charlie specialises in strength and resistance training, flexibility, and mobility development. Her approach prioritises technical accuracy to optimise performance and minimise injury risk, while also cultivating mindset, discipline, and long-term confidence. She works with athletes pursuing performance-specific outcomes, as well as clients aiming for weight loss, muscle gain, strength development, or rehabilitation following injury or surgery.
In Reformer Pilates, her favourite exercise is Climb a Tree for its comprehensive demand on abdominal strength, hip flexor activation, and spinal mobility. In personal training, she particularly values single-leg deadlifts combined with a calf raise on a BOSU ball, an exercise that challenges unilateral strength, balance, coordination and muscular engagement.
Outside of teaching, Charlie continues to dance professionally across London in contemporary, hip hop, partnering and heels. She also composes music, building on her foundation as a classical pianist. In her downtime, she enjoys good food, documentaries, catching up with family and the occasional sauna to reset and recover.
