I have returned to Instagram. I know. Oh dear. I am writing about it, hopefully will post soon. I am taking a break from events and focusing on my Pilates teaching at Mill Yard Petworth every Thursday evening and will be launching private sessions, using the Reformer, Spine Corrector, Hard Roller and small equipment there very soon. Some workshops focusing on finding ease in the body through Pilates and Human Design are also in the works.
Hello, I'm Íse.
I study how human beings find safety in their bodies, their lives and in crowds. As a practitioner and researcher, I study the interaction between the human condition and social systems, and how that impacts safety, wellbeing, and agency. I write about crowd safety and use it to explore broader questions about behavioural psychology, societal trends, and personal empowerment.
My career has always intersected between events, crowd safety and event transport, and this now has a name. I'm really proud to have written the first chapter on Zone Ex for the Guide to Health, Safety and Welfare at Outdoor Events and shared about its importance in an article I wrote on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour crowds.
I also write about digital minimalism and the impact of our relationship with devices on wellbeing and mental health. My studies of the mind led me to share my own experience with how applying these learnings has transformed my life experience and career. This blends with Human Design and how I use this language to understand how we operate correctly and apply that to improve our relationships and work.

Highlights
Services
My work has always been about one question: what does a human being need to feel safe enough to be fully themselves, in their body, in their relationships, and in the systems they move through?

Kind words from clients
“…We tend to reach out to Íse when we are looking for a fresh and different perspective. Without fail Íse is able to show a route that nobody in our team has thought of before. Coupled with her excellent precision and reliability Íse is the perfect lead for any project. It is mainly her versatility that makes Íse apply her talents to any kind of project. With the big picture in mind and never forgetting the detailed solution, we can highly recommend working with Íse. She delivers results that we haven’t found anywhere else.”
Marcel Altenburg, Manchester Metropolitan University
"My private class with Ise was so inspiring and nourishing, she has an incredible way to cue the posture and allow my body to sink in deeply. Her way of communication and space holding was so healing and I have found a new love for Pilates. I can highly recommend working with her."

"I started my Pilates journey with Íse six months postpartum after the birth of my second child. She is nothing short of an amazing teacher. I had experienced pelvic girdle pain, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and diastasis recti in both pregnancies. I’d also had two c-sections in seventeen months. Not an easy subject! Within a couple of sessions working with Íse, the tension and pain in my SI joint and pelvis was reduced. Within a couple of months it had disappeared. Íse has an unwavering commitment to form and a rare ability to identify the root cause of a movement. She identified many areas of compensatory movement in my body (which I wasn’t even aware of!) and the lack of flexibility in my thoracic and lumbar spine. Through her guidance I was able to start engaging with these parts of my body and change the way I move. I can’t wait to continue my Pilates journey with Íse. A life changer."
