No shame or burnout cycles.
Just intuitive consistency.
Real guidance from a real person,
whenever you need it

A weekly structure that thinks for you, so you can just show up
Evidence-based movement that
honours how your body feels
I’m a Pilates instructor, and strength trainer based in London, where I’m completing a Master's degree in how behaviour, systems, & policy shape our relationship with exercise.
More importantly, I understand what it’s like to dread exercise and hate your body in the process — and I know that fitness culture’s “just be more disciplined” approach doesn’t work.
The consistency problem isn’t about discipline — it’s about the approach

No one actually answers your questions
Scroll through hundreds of classes, pick randomly, hope for the best

Strong enough to challenge you, soft enough to stick
Use what you've got at home. Don't let perfectionism stop you from starting.
When you are ready to invest start with:
- Heavier weights: 2x upper body (5-8kg) and 1x lower body (12-20kg)
DIY: full backpack, pans, heavy household items
Optional:
- long resistance band / DIY: leggings or tights
- two yoga blocks / DIY: thick, ideally hardcover books
Note: You can start Starlike without purchasing any "proper" equipment to start with. I'm big on DIY options. The most important investment is a basic set of heavier weights. I have a video walking you exactly through how to choose your weights and why.
Absolutely! There are no lock-ins on Starlike. There is no minimum period you have to be a member for.
When you join the monthly plans, you can cancel anytime. After the cancellation you still have access for the entire time you paid for.
No, all the livestreams are uploaded to the on-demand library. You are absolutely not missing out!
Having the livestreams allows me to cater to a variety of needs.
For some members it's really valuable to move in the moment with me and the community. It can be great for consistency since you have to show up for a class at a specific time. While for some members, the priority is their own schedule.
There are no lock-ins, so you stay a member only if you love it. You can cancel in account settings in "Purchases" or email me for help.
After cancellation you'll have access to all of Starlike until the end of your billing period.
I have half a decade of experience teaching movement full time in person and online in Australia, UK and Poland. Apart from being a strength coach, Pilates instructor & a mobility specialist, I am also completing a Master's in Philosophy, Economics & Politics of Health at UCL.

The Starlike Cycle is your weekly movement foundation - three signature classes (Essence, Sense, and Synergy) that cover everything your body needs: joint care, mindful strength training, and nervous system regulation.
Do you have to follow it exactly? Absolutely not. It's designed as a realistic weekly plan that makes sense for your body's natural needs, but life happens. Some weeks you might do all three, some weeks just one. The Cycle gives you structure without rigidity - think of it as a gentle framework, not a strict rule.
The beauty is that it takes the guesswork out of "what should I do today?" while still honoring that you're human with a real life.
