I'm Dr Cerys Head, an international pole instructor, performer, competitor, personal trainer, and Health Psychologist based in South Wales.

My movement style has been influenced by incredible instructors and strippers from around the world, but ultimately it has been shaped by more than a decade of exploring what feels genuinely authentic in my own body. Rather than chasing trends or aesthetics, my work centres on helping people access movement that is deeply embodied, emotionally honest, sensual, and unapologetically human.

As both a performer and educator, I believe technical skill is only one part of the picture. True expression comes from understanding your body, your nervous system, your emotions, and how they all interact. My teaching blends biomechanics, mobility, strength, psychology, and artistry to help students build movement that is not only beautiful, but sustainable and deeply connected.

Alongside my work in pole, I'm a qualified personal trainer and Health Psychologist. My background gives me a unique understanding of exercise science, behaviour change, motivation, embodiment, emotional regulation, confidence, and the complex relationship between physical movement and psychological wellbeing. Whether you're overcoming fear, rebuilding trust in your body, or learning to express yourself more freely, my coaching is informed by both scientific evidence and lived experience.

I'm also a chronically ill poler and understand first-hand what it means to train in a body that doesn't always cooperate. Living with chronic pain, being a cancer survivor, and being hypermobile has fundamentally shaped the way I coach. Rather than pushing through discomfort or forcing bodies into unrealistic ideals, I teach people how to work with their bodies, respecting their limitations while building resilience, strength, confidence, and freedom of movement.

My coaching philosophy is rooted in curiosity over judgement. Every body is different, every story is different, and every movement practice should reflect that. Whether you're here to learn your first heel flow, refine competition performance, develop expressive choreography, improve mobility, build strength, or reconnect with your body after injury or illness, my aim is always the same: to help you move with confidence, authenticity, and unapologetic sensuality.

Through Elevated Elegance, I offer online tutorials, live classes, workshops, one-to-one coaching, mobility and strength training, and performance education designed to help you develop not just as a pole dancer, but as a mover, performer, and embodied human.
