Pre and Post Natal
Pregnancy and postpartum fitness can be overwhelming, often clouded by unrealistic social media ideals and a lack of open, honest dialogue about the real challenges new mums face.
Between body image issues, birth injuries, emotional recovery, and the demands of caring for a newborn, it’s easy to feel lost and unsupported in returning to movement.
I’ve been there, navigating birth trauma and injury myself, and I know how vital it is to have a space that feels safe and compassionate during this vulnerable time.
That’s why I offer a nurturing approach focused not on “bouncing back,” but on healing, rebuilding strength, and reconnecting with your body with care and respect. Every woman’s journey is unique, and support should be, too.
With its focus on mindful movement, breath, and alignment, Pilates supports both physical and emotional wellbeing throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Emphasising core strength, pelvic floor function, and posture, it prepares the body for birth and aids in recovery.
Key benefits of Pilates during pregnancy and postpartum:
Beyond the physical, Pilates offers a space to pause and reset. It helps calm the nervous system, ease anxiety, and improve sleep, offering a moment of stillness in the intensity of early motherhood.
Postpartum, the focus is on gently reintroducing movement, starting with breath, core, and pelvic floor connection, then gradually progressing to restore alignment, strength, and mobility. The goal is to safely return to fitness in a supportive, empowering environment.
In both pregnancy and postnatal sessions, I draw on my training as a Pre- and Postnatal Pilates teacher and RYC®. I emphasise functional movement that builds lasting strength and supports the physical demands of motherhood.
