Kate was given the name ‘Bendy’ soon after starting her pole dancing journey. A nickname given because there were too many Kates in the studio!

The stage name stuck! Kate is a contemporary and original performer, specialising in pole, aerial, hand balancing and acrobatics. She has performed and taught all over the world and won multiple World Championship & UK titles in Pole Dancing.

Although Kate was a gymnast with ‘OK’ flexibility at the start she took it upon herself to delve into flexibility training and safely improve her own level and then shared this knowledge with others in teaching, books and courses.

She is a passionate teacher; she uses her knowledge about the human body, her gymnastics background and experience to travel the world teaching masterclasses. Combining her experience and her BSc Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation degree (first class) she also creates learning resources to help athletes further their understanding on flexibility, their body and other disciplines. She is the author of 3 educational books (Advanced Stretching Technique, A Little Book of Handstands & Upside Down Injuries; Prehab & Rehab) which are available to purchase from Bendy Studio.

She runs the Bendy Studio (Bristol & Portishead) which are holistic fitness studios specialising in pole & aerial arts

Kate is also a qualified Sports Therapist specialising in Pregnancy & Postpartum exercise
