I am passionate and focused about supporting mums, helping them feel like themselves, feel confident in their bodies. I take time to get to know you, your goals and about your pregnancy, birth and recovery. Everything is personal to you. You are the center for the hour, its your time!
As qualified a pre & post natal fitness specialist and mum myself, I have am very aware of what is happening with your body and what it needs. As well as the support you may need mentally. Sometimes you just need someone to understand those uncomfortable feelings of your growing bump, those frequent wee breaks and that feeling of not knowing your body postpartum
I am here or you are your journey.
What does PREGNANCY personal training involve?
My sessions are tailored for you and so will vary for each person. This will depend on stage of pregnancy, your fitness levels and your individual needs.
However most sessions, we will work on:
Understanding how to work your core,because this is hugely important in pregnancy.
safe lifting techniques and resistance training for pregnancy, looking after your posture with this ever growing bump.
pelvic floor work.
nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
breathing techniques to carry you through pregnancy and into the postnatal stage.
Primarily, all sessions are designed to help you have a smooth, energy-filled pregnancy. Safely prepare you for birth and as a result, a healthy, fast recovery post-birth.
What does POSTNATAL personal training involve?
Our postnatal training sessions are entirely built around you. I am fully aware that some sessions all we may do is breathing and have a chat and thats ok! You have just birthed a human and right now although you want to get “that body back” you have other priorities. I will help you progress gradually with firstly understanding your new body and breath work. I will also take into account your current fitness levels and individual needs.
We will work on:
Regain strength in your core and pelvic floor recovery.
modified training if you are experiencing any issues with diastasis recti or pelvic floor problems.
resistance training to help rebuild, improve posture and strengthen postnatally.
nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
breathing techniques to allow you to reconnect to your core and floor.
stretches and relaxation techniques to relieve some of the stresses of being a mum.
The sessions are designed to help you make a progressive recovery. They can also help you avoid and heal issues which can occur postnatally such as pelvic pain and diastasis recti (abdominal separation). Allowing you to feel confident and strong in your body’s abilities and strength.
Reconnect and regain from birth to 6 weeks
