When not at the barre, Erin can be found performing in the concert hall.  Having relocated to the UK from Toronto, Canada, she brings her wealth of experience as a professional french horn player and singer to her teaching.     

Early on in her career with the Toronto Symphony she experienced back issues and found the practice of Barre not only fixed the problem but prevented it.  Soon after, she trained with a former dancer and became an instructor. 

Fast forward to 2024, 3 kids later, and barre was again her go-to, this time for post natal recovery.  After training in BarreConcept with the fitness guru and Pilates master Emma Newham, Erin founded Barre by Barre in Ashbourne, near the Peak District, to create a supportive and empowering studio environment fostering inner strength and confidence in both body, mind and spirit.   

A natural coach, her ease with people creates a relaxed and inviting tone. She brings her passion and creativity to the barre and while a precise and an informed instructor, she’s always a bit cheeky – like working out with your friend who happens to be a professional.
