Wendy Collings
Body Control Pilates & Woo Wellness Owner
I am Wendy (or Woo), the Owner and Director of Woo Wellness Ltd. With expertise in various disciplines, including Body Control Pilates, Danielle Collins Face Yoga, Hay’ou Facial Gua Sha, Feet-Ness, HIP (High Intensity Pilates), and Reiki.
I have been teaching Pilates since 2012.
Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and its impact on overall well-being. My personal journey with hypermobility has given me valuable insights into the challenges individuals face when it comes to physical health.
I have personally experienced debilitating back pain and poor posture as a result of my condition.
In 2010, following the birth of my first daughter, I discovered the transformative power of Pilates. During my pregnancy, I struggled with lower back pain and symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), also known as Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP). Additionally, I faced the challenge of a Pelvic Floor Prolapse after giving birth.
Through consistent Pilates practice, I regained joint stability, developed strong and lean muscles, and improved my posture – a concern that had long been highlighted by my parents. Furthermore, I successfully alleviated the symptoms associated with my Prolapse.
Today, I am dedicated to teaching others how they too can find relief from such conditions. I subsequently went on to have two more daughters, managing to keep all of my symptoms at bay. This personal healing journey has inspired me to establish Woo Wellness, a platform through which I can assist others in achieving their own wellness goals.
