Meet Sophie
Hi, I’m Sophie Daking — a Guernsey-born Chartered Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with a Master’s in Physiotherapy and a background in Health Psychology.
I have over a decade of experience across the NHS and private practice, including several years in the City of London working alongside spinal consultants and pain management specialists while teaching Clinical Pilates.
That time in London shaped my approach: I believe rehabilitation isn’t about handing out exercises and hoping for the best — it’s about guiding you through every step of your journey.
Equipment-based Clinical Pilates is perfect for this: it’s adaptable, welcoming and ideal for anyone who may feel unsure or intimidated by more traditional exercise.
​
I can blend hands-on physiotherapy with personalised movement to help you understand your body, reduce pain, build confidence and feel stronger in everyday life.
​
My goal is simple: to help you reconnect with your body, build resilience and find what truly works for you.
The Studio
Body Balanced is based in a brand-new, boutique private studio in the Vale, equipped with state-of-the-art specialist Pilates apparatus.
​
The space blends the best of equipment Pilates, functional training, aerial yoga, yoga, and barre, allowing each session to be fully tailored to your needs and goals.
Here you’ll find a calm, safe and supportive space where each session is designed to help you move better, feel stronger and become empowered to create lasting change.
​
​We also welcome qualified fitness and health professionals to book and enjoy the studio as part of their own practice or to teach from.
