FOUNDER

With a background in social media, events, and community-building, I’ve always been drawn to creating spaces where people feel connected and inspired. OREN is that vision brought to life - a vibrant third space where movement, recovery, and community come together.

My mission is simple: to make feeling good your everyday.

BRAND DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

With over 10 years in customer-facing roles, I pride myself on creating a relaxed, welcoming space where everyone who walks through our doors feels at home. I love staying active, but I keep it balanced, Pilates in the morning, maybe a wine out with friends later on. You’ll usually catch me at the studio before the sun is up, setting the tone for a good day ahead.

HEAD OF SECURITY

Hi, I’m Dennis - Head of Security, snack inspector, and professional napper. I’m still a puppy, but don’t let that fool you. I take my responsibilities seriously: greeting guests, patrolling the reception, and making sure everything smells just right. My mum owns the studio, so I like to think of myself as the real boss around here.

You’ll find me snoozing between classes, watching the world go by, or trotting up for a fuss. You’re always welcome at OREN… especially if you bring treats and tummy tickles. Misbehave, and I will lick you.

LEAD INSTRUCTOR

I'm Meeko (also known as Natalie), and I've been in the wellness space for nearly 20 years, with 18 of those as a personal trainer. I’m deeply client-focused and get the most joy from helping people feel better - physically, mentally, and emotionally - through fun, energising workouts. I specialise in yoga, reformer Pilates, mobility, and functional fitness, and love creating sessions that are supportive, uplifting, and empowering. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me outdoors hiking, camping, or chasing after my three dogs - I love a challenge and bring that same adventurous spirit into everything I do. I'm always open to helping people start their feel-good journey, so feel free to reach out and ask for help!

REFORMER & MAT PILATES

Hey, I’m Phoebe. I’ve been practising Pilates since I was 16, and I got my mat Pilates certification at 18. I have completed mat & reformer pilates training in Lisbon, London & Cardiff. My teaching style is dynamic and very contemporary. I still keep the Pilates principles at the heart of my practice & want every class to be an empowering, inclusive, fun and challenging experience. I always need to be moving & chatting, so I feel blessed that I get to teach Pilates for my job. I enjoy bonding with clients & if you ever tell me you love my playlist, you’ll make my day.

REFORMER PILATES

Hi, I’m Nicole - a certified Mat & Reformer Pilates instructor with a passion for bringing a global perspective to my practice. After years of doing Pilates myself, I decided to pursue my qualification, inspired by the diverse techniques I’ve come across during my travels. I love discovering new studios and weaving those experiences into the way I teach.

BARRE

(Currently on maternity leave)
My name is Maddy, and I have been a barre instructor in Cardiff for almost two years now, training at The Barre Collective in Richmond, UK. My ballet background is what drew me to qualify in the first place, as I love how barre strikes the ideal balance between strength and building stamina whilst also enjoying flowy and beautiful movement. My classes are designed to make you feel empowered, embracing the feeling of spicy movements set to a disco beat. When I’m not teaching, I love immersing myself in creative sewing projects, sunrise sea dips and chill nights with a glass of red wine in my hand!

REFORMER & MAT PILATES

Hi, I’m Alex! I’m a certified mat and reformer Pilates instructor. I love both teaching and attending classes, and I’m passionate about sharing the energy, strength, and confidence Pilates brings. My sessions are designed to challenge and motivate whilst always sticking to the core Pilates principles, with a little spice in the movement and a fire playlist to keep things fun and fresh. I’m always ready for a chat and will always make you feel welcome, whether you’re a Pilates pro or it’s your very first session. Outside the studio, I’m a proud dog mum, totally dog obsessed, and not ashamed to admit he rules the house. I can’t wait to see you all at OREN!

REFORMER & MAT PILATES

I’m Hannah - a former PE teacher with a background in cheerleading and gymnastics, and a lifelong love of high-impact movement before Pilates became the glow-up my body truly needed. My classes mix strong technique, spicy pulses and feel-good flows, rooted in years of coaching, performance and body awareness. Expect to work hard, laugh a little and leave feeling stronger, lifted and mentally reset. Mom of three, community-obsessed, and forever chasing the post-class glow, babe.

YOGA

Hey yogis, I’m Brodi (@bendi.brodes), a 26 year old yoga instructor with the goal of spreading the joy that yoga has brought to me! My classes aim to challenge the body and focus the mind. Whether it’s your first time on the mat or pro-yogi, my classes are open to all, with modifications and variations available throughout every session. I like to build up heat and fire throughout practices, incorporating dynamic movement with long holding postures. Every class always ends with an aromatherapy massage to have you floating out of the studio feeling absolutely amazing! See you on the mat.

FRONT OF HOUSE

Hey, Im Aleisha! A qualified PT Level 2 and 3. I have a background in Account Management but have taken a step back from the corporate life to focus on my dog boarding business and personal health and wellbeing. I love movement, from weightlifting, to pilates, to running, and I encourage everyone to get their bodies moving with intention. OREN is such a beautiful space that is grounding, relaxing and community focused and i cannot wait to meet all you lovely people :)x

REFORMER & MAT PILATES

I’m a Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor through MoveUnion with a passion for mindful movement and holistic well-being. My teaching style is grounding, dynamic, and purposeful - helping you connect breath with movement to nurture strength, balance, and inner calm. I see Pilates as a moving meditation, a space to tune in, recharge, and honour your body. I believe movement should feel good, so expect deep stretches, mindful flows, and maybe a few laughs along the way! I can’t wait to guide you through your practice at OREN Wellness!

YOGA & SOUND BATH

My name is Beth, and I am a qualified yoga & Pilates teacher and Sound & energy healer.  I teach both Vinyasa and restorative yoga; I trained in an eco-village in Costa Rica and loved every moment. I like to incorporate somatics,  embodied movement, and strength aspects in class with the intention of offering a well-rounded, grounding, and nourishing element for you to explore in your practice. I encourage you to move intuitively and move in a way that feels good. My classes are suitable and inclusive for all. There is always an option to challenge yourself, as I offer progressions throughout! Come and join me for a nourishing yoga practice or for an hour’s sound healing journey in readiness for the week ahead.

PILATES COVER INSTRUCTOR

Hey, I’m Claire - a qualified Comprehensive Pilates Teacher. Having studied within the Pilates Foundation, I’ve been teaching since 2024.

I was first introduced to Pilates 10 years ago and now enjoy teaching on all Pilates equipment, including the Mat, Reformer, Wunder Chair, Cadillac, and Ladder Barrel. 

If I were on a desert island and could only take one piece of Pilates equipment, I would pack my reformer!  

In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, walking my dog Elton and having as much fun as possible!

“I teach and practice Pilates because I love how effective it is for our mind, bodies and souls. Turn on some epic tunes and experience a whole body work out to enhance our strength and confidence for every day”

YOGA

Hello! I’m Lucy. I have practised yoga since I was a child and have always felt very aligned with the values of yoga. I trained to be a yoga instructor in Rishikesh, India, the birthplace of yoga. This gave me the most beautiful insight into the ‘why’ behind yoga that had always intrigued me. I teach vinyasa yoga and enjoy playing around with different sequences and poses, but I also respect when the body needs some space to simply just be. Expect some snippets of philosophy throughout. I have an interest in holistic health and wellbeing. I work as a dietitian by day and love anything related to nature, wellness, and, of course, coffee.

FRONT OF HOUSE

Hello, I’m Leah, I’m 19 years of age.

I enjoy travelling, getting to see the world, and learning about different cultures.

I love socialising with friends and meeting new people. My favourite hobby is going for long walks and cooking/baking. I can speak fluent Welsh and enjoy using the language when I can. Seeing the brand use a Welsh word in the name makes me feel proud to be able to speak the language and hopefully speak it within the workspace! I’m into fitness and go to the gym often, ensuring a healthy lifestyle. Wellness is important to me as it gives me a clear mind when things get stressful and helps me understand the importance of relaxation. I look forward to meeting and greeting you all!

FRONT OF HOUSE

My name is Amy, and I’m a mum of two, one girl and one boy. For the past six years, I’ve been a carer to my son, who has a rare kidney disease and autism. My passions and interests are going on walks with my family and dog to the beach. What OREN means to me is having an opportunity to work with amazing people and learn all about wellness treatments.

FRONT OF HOUSE

Hi, I’m Isaac Marsh, the friendly face you’ll see at the front desk! With a background in fitness, sports, and wellbeing, I’m passionate about helping people feel their best. OREN, to me, is all about creating a space and a community where wellness feels accessible and uplifting for everyone. When I’m not welcoming you in, you’ll probably find me in the sauna or ice bath recovering from my latest rugby match!
