Get Fit and Feel Your Best (with Your Bub)
From the moment you’ve got a little one—either in your belly or in your arms—things change. Your approach to health and fitness inevitably changes too. Whether you’re navigating how to fit a health and fitness regime into a busy lifestyle or making sure that your routine is safe for your pregnant and postpartum body, I’m here to guide you on the journey…and tell you that it is possible to take care of yourself whilst taking care of your little ones! |
I run mums and baby yoga classes, buggy bootcamps (coming 2024) and offer 1:1 sessions for pregnant and postpartum mummies. My classes offer safe, effective and fun exercises and an opportunity to meet like-minded mums.
This is Why I Got Into This Industry
In addition to my qualifications as a personal trainer and yoga teacher, I have additional qualifications in pre & postnatal fitness, pre & postnatal yoga, Nutrition & Lifestyle for Post Natal Healing & Recovery.
I got my start in this industry after being “cleared” by my GP at 6 weeks post emergency c-section to return to exercise….which for me meant deadlifting. BAD idea! (But no one told me otherwise—probably because they didn’t know—so how was I to know?) That return to exercise led to a very long recovery plagued with pain and problems. It was only later, after earning my qualifications, that I learned I certainly shouldn’t have been deadlifting so soon post-op. After the birth of my second child I took my recovery much more slowly and with a plan, and with the slower more methodical approach, I regained my pre-pregnancy fitness so much faster.

Society pressures women to get their “pre-baby” body back as fast as possible, but getting it back as safely as possible—with the best chance of maintaining a sensible movement and nutrition practice longterm—is an approach that will serve us all so much better in the long run.
