My Story

For a long time, I thought feeling good in my body meant changing it.

In my mid-20s, I was diagnosed with PCOS, now known as PMOS. My cycles felt unpredictable, my weight changed and I often felt as though my body was doing things I didn’t understand. I lost 20lbs through a well-known weight loss programme, but looking back, what I was really searching for wasn’t simply weight loss. I wanted to feel at home in my body.

Movement became an important part of that journey. I discovered Pilates, fell in love with the way it made me feel and eventually trained to teach it. In 2021, I created Move with Kirty as a way to share that love of movement with women beyond the walls of a studio.

But as my own body continued to change, so did Move with Kirty.

Through my late 30s and into my 40s, my cycles became increasingly unpredictable and I entered perimenopause. Once again, I found myself trying to understand a body that seemed to be changing the rules.

This time, however, I began asking different questions. Instead of constantly asking “How do I change my body?”, I started asking “What does my body need from me?”

That question changed everything...

Movement stopped being something I used simply to burn calories or make myself smaller. It became a way to build strength, support my body, reconnect with myself and appreciate what my body was capable of. And that evolution became the foundation of Move with Kirty today.

MWK is a space for women who want to understand their bodies rather than spend their lives fighting them. A place where strength and softness can exist together, where movement can challenge you without punishing you, and where there is no expectation that your body should look, feel or perform the same every day.

Because our bodies aren't static. They change with our lives, our hormones, our experiences, our energy and our seasons.

I don't believe movement should be about chasing a perfect body. I believe it should help you build a relationship with the one you already have.

Through Pilates, strength, mobility, wellness and education, Move with Kirty is here to help women feel stronger, more informed and more confident in the choices they make for their bodies.

Not because someone else knows your body better than you do, but because the more you understand it, the more you can learn to listen to it.

To strengthen it.

To trust it.

And, perhaps most importantly, to come home to yourself.
